Common Problems
Signs Your Sliding Door Needs Service
If you see any of these issues, schedule service early. Waiting usually turns a simple fix into downtime, damage, or customer frustration.
Sticking or Binding
Doors drag, hesitate, or stop mid-cycle due to track contamination, alignment issues, or worn rollers.
Sensor Errors
False activations, failure to open, or inconsistent detection can signal sensor misalignment or control issues.
Noisy Operation
Grinding, squealing, or rattling often points to roller wear, track damage, or loose hardware.
Doors Stuck Open/Closed
A failed operator, power supply, or control board can interrupt access, security, and daily operations.
Drafts & Poor Sealing
Worn seals, misalignment, and poor closing behavior increase energy loss and comfort complaints.
Breakout/Egress Concerns
Breakout doors and emergency egress behavior must work properly in real traffic and real emergencies.
What We Do
Our Sliding Door Service Process
We keep the process simple: diagnose, fix the root cause, confirm safe performance, and help prevent repeat failures with practical recommendations.
1) Diagnose accurately: confirm whether the problem is mechanical (track/rollers/alignment) or electrical (operator/sensors/controls).
2) Repair and calibrate: replace worn parts, correct alignment, and calibrate sensors so the door behaves predictably in real foot traffic.
3) Verify safe operation: confirm opening/closing behavior, safety sensor performance, and consistent activation zones.
4) Prevent repeat downtime: recommend service intervals and contract options based on usage level and facility risk.
For documented safety support, explore AAADM inspections and planned service contracts.
