Your commercial doors are designed to last for many years. As a building manager you want to increase the lifespan of your investment and avoid major commercial door repair and costly replacements. Regular preventative maintenance will keep your employees and visitors safe and ensures that your automatic doors work efficiently.
Automatic door maintenance is not just about ensuring operational efficiency; it's about prioritizing the safety and convenience of everyone who passes through your doors.
A comprehensive maintenance checklist, adhered to with regularity, can prevent unexpected malfunctions that could lead to accidents or security breaches. This automatic door maintenance often includes thorough inspections, cleaning of sensors and tracks, and adjustments to speed and force settings, ensuring that doors operate within the safety standards set by AAADM (American Association of Automatic Door Manufacturers).
By investing in a preventative maintenance plan, you're not only extending the life of your automatic doors but also safeguarding your business against potential liabilities and disruptions. This proactive approach to maintenance is essential for any facility relying on the seamless operation of automatic doors.
At Advanced Door Service we offer inspection and maintenance based on the recommendations and safety standards of the American Association of Automatic Door Manufacturers (AAADM) and adapted to your specific needs.

The best approach is to establish a schedule for routine automatic door inspection and maintenance and to stick to it. This will make sure that your automatic door keeps functioning properly and safely.
A daily safety check on your automatic door systems will reduce the risk of a malfunction. With a daily checkup you will notice if the door gets more difficult to open, makes more noise or moves too fast or too slow. When a visual inspection shows that something is changing then it is time to call on Advanced Door Service!
Our clients get a detailed maintenance plan based on their particular situation. Here are some of the routine maintenance activities we recommend to keep automatic sliding doors, swing doors and revolving doors running smoothly:
Keeping moving parts such as hinges lubricated is key to keeping your doors working smoothly. Regularly lubricate all metal moving parts, but don’t lubricate plastic parts. If you are unsure about the correct lubricant or how to apply it, it is recommended that you call an AAADM certified technician. Doing this correctly ensures the longevity and reliability of your doors, preventing premature wear and tear.
Check the tracks of sliding doors and make sure the door can run freely. Any debris or obstruction in the tracks can hinder door operation, so it's crucial to keep them clean and clear for optimal performance.
Weather stripping around a swing door or revolving door forms a barrier for temperature difference. If you notice draft from the door even when it’s closed, then the weatherstripping will likely need to be replaced. Regular checks and timely replacement of weather stripping can significantly enhance energy efficiency and comfort within your premises.
Swing doors have a latch and strike which need to be well aligned so that your door forms a tight seal. Proper alignment also ensures security and ease of use, contributing to the overall functionality of your door system.
The threshold under your swing door should remain tight so that the elements and rodents are kept out. When the threshold changes then it’s time to call a technician. Maintaining a secure and intact threshold is essential for the safety and hygiene of your environment, preventing unwanted guests and water ingress.
With our industry-leading preventative maintenance agreements we prevent break-downs and save on costs over the life of your door.

No matter what type of business you run, you want to feel safe and secure and have a competitive edge at the entrance to your building. We outfit all types of businesses and help improve their structural integrity, physical appearance, and functionality just with a new storefront installation or service.
Commercial doors occupy the front entrance to any retail establishment. When properly outfitted, they are functional (to facilitate safety requirements and heavy foot traffic) and aesthetically pleasing (they keep front entrances attractive).
Storefront, commercial door sizes vary based on the type of door. For example, revolving storefront doors typically range anywhere from 6 to 16 feet in diameter. Doors with diameters fewer than nine feet are typically reserved for security and controlled access applications. Doors more than 10 feet in diameter, can serve places like airports where there is very heavy foot traffic.
Usually made of metal or steel, these doors entice customers to enter your establishment. Therefore, they should be aesthetically pleasing, maximally functional (whether automatic or revolving), and have enough design edge to make your business feel compelling just by looking at its entrance.
Storefront doors are chosen by taking several factors into account. Some of them are location, average foot traffic, safety, type of business and associated costs. Making a decision on what door will work best for your facility is a big decision. The doors should be aesthetically pleasing, maximally functional and have enough design edge to make your business feel compelling just by looking at its entrance.
There are a few different storefront doors that can serve different purposes.
A retail store that is bound to see heavy traffic will benefit most from an automatic sliding door. The automatic sliding doors are typically glass doors which also allow customers to see the interior of your store before even entering. Seeing what is inside the store can motivate shoppers to come in and take a closer look.
Sliding doors are the perfect solution for storefronts that want quick and easy access. Sliding doors reduce wait times at the store, which means higher customer satisfaction. They can be installed on both the inside and outside of a storefront, allowing customers to quickly enter and exit without having to manually open a door.
Large offices may also opt for an automatic sliding glass door, not only to make entry and exit easier, but to let natural light through at the same time.
New! Horton Automatics® has partnered with Anthony to create an all-new Automatic Beer Cave Door for Walk-In Cooler applications. The automatic door for walk-in cooler applications features a motion sensor on the interior and exterior of the door, allowing for easy two-way traffic. Learn more about these doors, here.
Swing doors are one of the most popular types of automatic doors for retail applications. They are typically used to provide access control and detect unauthorized entry, as well as streamline traffic flow in and out of a store or building.
Automatic swing doors can be fitted with sensors that detect movement or body heat and open when triggered. These sensors allow passageways to remain open while customers move through them but close quickly once they have passed, increasing safety and security. In addition, some models are equipped with an emergency “break-away” feature that allows for a much larger opening for foot traffic, in case of fire or other emergency.
Furthermore, these types of doors can be programmed with different speeds depending on customer needs and offer the added benefit of low energy consumption due to their efficient motors and small power consumption. With great design flexibility, it’s easy to see why automatic swing doors for retail applications are increasingly popular!
Revolving doors are ideal for high-traffic retail applications. They’re designed to provide customers with an effortless and safe entrance and exit experience by revolving in one direction. Since they are see-through, you can see who is entering and exiting the building at all times, which is a nice safety feature.front entrance of a store with an elegant revolving door
Unlike sliding doors or other types of automatic entrance systems, revolving doors provide better weather control, reduce energy loss from drafts or climate change through the storefront and eliminate the possibility of the door being blocked open by a breeze. Revolving doors provide bi-directional operation for both entry and exit into your facility. They can also offer significant cost savings by minimizing air conditioning and heat loss. Compared to swing doors, revolving doors reduce over 500% of unwanted air from infiltrating the inside of a building.
Revolving doors are also preferred over sliding abilities because they significantly reduce street noise and don’t require extra space for their operation.
If you’re looking for an efficient door system for your retail business that provides both convenience and aesthetics then revolving doors are an excellent option to consider!
As these doors are the front and main entry points to your business, they must be ADA Compliant for accessibility.
If your business uses a revolving door, you’ll need another entrance, according to the ADA Compliance laws: “Revolving doors shall not be the only means of passage at an accessible entrance or along an accessible route. An accessible gate or door shall be provided adjacent to the revolving door and shall be so designed as to facilitate the same use pattern.”
Automatic sliding doors also have width stipulations. The clear width of the doors, measured from the face of the automatic sliding door to the doorstop, must be a minimum of 32 inches.
Swing doors must also meet minimum width requirements for accessibility.
Users want aesthetically-pleasing designs, easy entry and exit, and a window into the essence of your business and what it sells. Most businesses concerned with these central factors are successful because they care about the entirety of the customers’ sensory and perceptual experiences. They want a tactile connection to your products, so help them make that come alive with an attractive storefront!
