What Automatic Door Problems Do We Fix?
Doors that won't open, won't close, open randomly, move too fast, or have sensor malfunctions. Automatic door operators are electro-mechanical systems with motors, sensors, control boards, and track assemblies. Any component can fail independently.
The most common issue we see is sensor misalignment. The motion sensor or presence sensor gets bumped or dirty and either triggers when nobody's there or fails to detect someone approaching. A quick recalibration fixes it. According to the American Association of Automatic Door Manufacturers, sensor-related issues account for 45% of automatic door service calls.
Types of Automatic Doors Triton Locksmith Repairs
- Sliding automatic doors: The most common type in retail stores, hospitals, and supermarkets. Two panels slide apart horizontally when triggered by a motion sensor or floor mat. Triton Locksmith repairs the operator motor, drive belt, rollers, track, and sensor system.
- Swinging automatic doors: Standard hinged doors with an electric operator mounted on the header. Common on ADA-compliant entries. The operator opens the door when a push button or motion sensor is activated.
- Revolving doors: Found in hotel lobbies and high-rise building entries. Triton Locksmith services the drive motor, speed controller, safety sensors, and braking system.
- Telescoping doors: Multiple sliding panels that stack behind each other for a wider opening. Common in hospital corridors and loading docks.
Common Automatic Door Problems
- Door not opening: Failed motion sensor, dead motor, broken drive belt, or electrical issue. Triton Locksmith diagnoses with a multimeter and replaces the failed component.
- Door opening too slowly or too fast: Speed controller out of adjustment or motor losing power. We recalibrate the operator settings.
- Door not closing fully: Obstruction in the track, misaligned guide rail, or worn rollers preventing full closure. We clean the track and replace worn parts.
- Safety sensors not working: The infrared beam or pressure sensor that prevents the door from closing on people. Failed sensors are a safety hazard and must be repaired immediately.
- Excessive noise: Worn bearings, loose mounting hardware, or a failing motor. Triton Locksmith replaces bearings and tightens all connections.

ADA and Automatic Door Requirements
Automatic doors are the gold standard for ADA accessibility. ANSI/BHMA A156.10 sets standards for power-operated doors. The door must have safety sensors to prevent closing on people, a minimum 3-second hold-open time, and a maximum 3 ft/sec opening speed. Triton Locksmith verifies all these parameters during service visits.
