Automatic doors are powered by electricity and this can be very dangerous. One electric
shock is enough to kill an adult, although it is not always fatal. If you do not know what you
are doing when you undertake the automatic doors repair you could electrocute yourself or
the next person who uses the door. This is not something you want on your conscience.

The automatic door has a sensor which knows when someone is approaching and tells the
motor to turn, moving the doors. Equally, once you have entered or left the store it knows
you are there and closes the door. In addition there are sensors which make sure no one is
in the entranceway when the doors close; this prevents any injuries from occurring.
You might be frustrated while you are waiting for your emergency automatic doors repair
firm to arrive. However, even with this delay it is likely that they will have the door fixed
quicker than if you tried to complete it yourself.
Warranty

If you complete a temporary repair and the doors break again you will need to spend more
time and potentially more money having the doors fixed. A reputable automatic doors repair
firm will provide a warranty for the work they have done and will quickly return to rectify any
issues, if there are any.
