Why Servicing Is Essential

Automatic and manual doors are used thousands of times per day. Over time, components wear down, sensors fall out of alignment, and unnoticed faults can lead to breakdowns — or worse, injury and liability.

Regular servicing provides:

  • Early detection of issues before they escalate
  • Improved safety for staff, visitors, and the general public
  • Extended lifespan of entrance systems and components
  • Cost savings by reducing emergency call-outs and replacements
  • Proof of compliance for insurance and regulatory bodies

Routine servicing isn’t just good practice — it’s often a legal requirement under workplace safety and access legislation.

What’s Included in Our Servicing

Our engineers carry out full performance and safety checks on each visit, tailored to your system and building type. A typical servicing includes:

  • Full Operational Testing: We test all open/close cycles, speeds, and activation sensors to ensure the system works as designed in all usage scenarios.
  • Safety Sensor Checks: We inspect presence detection, barrier sensors, and finger protection systems — essential for preventing accidents.
  • Control System Diagnostics: We assess the control panel and automation components for errors, wear, or inconsistencies in behaviour.
  • Physical Hardware Inspection: Hinges, tracks, rollers, fixings, and all moving parts are checked for alignment and mechanical integrity.
  • Emergency Exit & Manual Override Testing: Where applicable, we confirm that fire exit routes and manual controls operate without fault.
  • Cleaning & Lubrication: We clean mechanical areas and apply suitable lubrication to reduce friction, noise, and premature wear.
  • Compliance Report: You’ll receive a written report detailing the checks performed, compliance status, and any recommended actions or upgrades.

FAQs – Servicing & Compliance

Regular servicing of automatic doors, shopfronts, shutters, and access systems is a fundamental requirement to keep premises safe, legally compliant, and fully operational in Britain. High footfall and daily usage cause significant wear to components, sensors, and safety mechanisms, eventually resulting in potential faults or breakdowns. Routine checks prevent costly downtime and mitigate the risk of injury or liability resulting from a malfunction. In many cases, servicing is a legal obligation under UK standards such as BS7036 and EN16005, ensuring powered pedestrian doors meet rigorous safety and performance criteria. Staying up to date with compliance also prevents fines from insurers, protects users, and helps landlords, health and safety officers, and business owners maintain robust operational continuity across all building types.

During a servicing visit, Evolution Entrance Systems’ engineers deliver a comprehensive performance and safety assessment, tailored to the building and specific entrance system. Services include checks of sensors, alignment, control units, door mechanisms, emergency access points, and overall compliance with legislation like BS7036 and EN16005. Clients receive a full inspection report detailing findings and recommendations, which can be used for insurance, property management, or legal records. Servicing intervals are advised based on location and usage, with one-off, biannual, or quarterly maintenance available for everything from local shops to busy hospitals. All work is documented and prioritised for breakdown support, ensuring that faults are quickly addressed and future risks minimised.

Legal requirements dictate that all powered pedestrian doors in commercial and public buildings must be maintained and regularly checked for compliance with EN16005. Failure to meet these standards risks fines, increased liability, and compromised safety, making regular professional servicing vital for every property in the UK.
