Automatic sliding doors aren’t just convenient; they are vital for busy commercial buildings like hospitals, offices, schools, and stores. Even reliable doors can develop problems over time, and when they do, you need fast, expert repairs.

We specialize in commercial automatic sliding door repair across Central Arkansas. Our skilled technicians quickly diagnose issues and restore doors to full, safe, and ADA-compliant operation.

Here are six common problems we fix and how we handle them.

Sensor Failure

Automatic doors rely on sensors to detect movement. If a sensor is dirty, misaligned, or has wiring problems, the door might not open or open too slowly.

Our technicians check each sensor carefully, clean or realign it, and replace any faulty parts so the door works reliably. Sensors also ensure safety, prevent accidents, and maintain smooth daily operation.

Track Misalignment

Sliding doors move on tracks that must be perfectly aligned. Dirt, corrosion, or bumps can knock the track out of place, causing doors to jam, drag, or fail to close.

Cenark’s team inspects the track and rollers, then realigns them so the door slides quietly. Proper alignment reduces stress, prevents damage, and improves long-term door performance.

Motor or Drive System Wear

The motor powers the door, and over time, it can wear out from heavy use. Worn belts, gears, or bearings can cause slow or uneven movement, or even stop the door completely.

Our technicians service or replace worn motor parts to restore performance and reduce the chance of breakdowns. Maintaining the motor also ensures energy efficiency, reliability, and longer operational lifespan.

Door Control or Access System Problems

Many businesses use card readers or other access systems with automatic doors. If these controls fail, doors may not open or close properly, which can be frustrating or unsafe.

Cenark specialists repair or replace control systems, making sure doors work smoothly and stay secure. Properly functioning controls also prevent unauthorized access and maintain building security.

Alignment and Seal Problems

Doors that are out of alignment or have worn seals can let in drafts, dust, or noise, reducing comfort and energy efficiency.

Our team adjusts doors and replaces worn seals to make sure they close properly, stay aligned, and keep your building comfortable. Well-aligned doors also save energy, enhance comfort, and reduce costly heating or cooling.

Emergency Breakdowns

Sometimes doors fail unexpectedly, like during bad weather or after heavy use. That’s why Cenark offers 24/7 emergency repair service.

Our technicians arrive quickly with the right tools and parts to get your doors back in working order, even at night or on weekends.

Rapid commercial sliding door repairs prevent safety hazards, minimize downtime, and keep your business running smoothly.
