Automatic doors are designed to enhance convenience and accessibility, so when yours start acting odd, it’s a sign that you need to have a professional take a look. Our team at Overhead Door Company of Charleston offers expert automatic door services, and we can help you get to the bottom of all kinds of issues as well as provide the effective repairs your doors need to be fully functional once more. Here are some of the most common automatic door problems our team can assist you with.

• Failure to Open or Close — Several issues can cause your automatic doors to stop opening or closing the way they should, from obstructions in the sensor path to power supply issues. While you can check for visible obstructions, our team is able to closely inspect the door and resolve more complex issues with the sensors or electrical connections.
• Unexpected Opening and Closing — Faulty sensors, improperly set sensitivity levels, and electrical issues can all make your automatic doors open and close with no apparent cause. We can recalibrate or replace the sensors and electrical components to restore functionality.
• Slow-Moving Doors — Sluggish, uneven, or jolting movement may be caused by anything from lubrication issues to mechanical wear and tear to track obstructions. Our technician will carefully inspect the door, track, and sensors to get to the root of the problem and provide the necessary automatic door service to resolve it.
• Unusual Noises During Operation — Strange noises such as grinding or squeaking may indicate there is loose hardware, a lack of lubrication, or some type of mechanical malfunction. It’s best to seek professional automatic door services right away if you notice unusual sounds during your door operation to avoid further damage.
• Misaligned Doors — Poor alignment is most often caused by structural settling and impact damage. This type of problem typically requires professional adjustment to the frame or hardware to resolve.
