What if my automatic door was damaged in a break-in?

Call the 24/7 emergency line if the entrance cannot be secured, and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call. Damaged glass, track or operators are then priced as a repair. We can provide photos and an itemised invoice, but only your insurer can decide on a claim.

Many faults can be repaired across common makes, because sensors, belts and rollers are widely available. Some controllers and drives are specific to one maker, and older ones may be discontinued. We check parts first and tell you if the operator needs replacing.

Do automatic doors have to be serviced by law?

No single fixed legal interval applies, but the law expects them to be kept safe. In Great Britain, the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require such equipment to be maintained in working order. Maker's instructions and BS EN 16005 guide what gets checked.
