What Parts of a Door Require Maintenance?
When it comes to keeping your doors operational, we check the whole apparatus. However, the most important parts are the moving parts and the motor. Some components that we check thoroughly include:
- Tracks – tracks may be damaged or out of alignment which will cause your door to operate incorrectly.
- Cables and springs – your door depends on these to move. Damage can cause your door to be inoperable or it can lead to safety hazards.
- Power supply – if your door is electrically operated, the power supply and wiring need to be checked or else your door won’t work.
- Rollers – the rollers of a door suffer a lot of wear and tear in their daily use, reducing their efficiency. Dirt and grime can also buildup, causing further damage to the door.
Benefits of a Planned Maintenance Program
Being on a planned maintenance program means you get maintenance on a regular basis, on your time. You can schedule the maintenance around your operating hours so you don’t need to shut down for repairs on short notice.
Planned maintenance allows you to catch wear and tear early, before it turns into big expensive repairs or replacements. It allows a professional technician to inspect the elements of your doors and identify problem areas that a normal person might miss, allowing you to rectify the issue instead of letting it compound.
