A Guide to Common High Speed Door Problems
Industrial high speed doors are vital for maintaining efficiency and safety in commercial and industrial settings. However, like any mechanical system, they experience issues that can disrupt operations. At Enfix, we specialise in repairing, servicing and maintaining these doors to ensure that they function seamlessly. Below, we outline some of the most common problems and how to address them.
Understanding High Speed Doors
High speed doors are designed to open and close quickly, often being used in warehouses, manufacturing facilities and logistics centres. Their speed and durability make them essential for controlling temperature, preventing dust and improving overall workflow. However, their complexity means that they can face a range of different issues over time.
Common Issues and Solutions
Unresponsive operation often stems from a faulty motor or misaligned sensors. A quick inspection by our team can identify and resolve the issue.
Excessive noise may indicate worn rollers or damaged tracks. Regular maintenance can help prevent this and extend the door’s lifespan.
Inconsistent speed may be caused by a malfunctioning speed controller or damaged belt. Our engineers can recalibrate or replace the components swiftly.
Air leakage may occur from gaps in the door’s seal and can lead to energy loss. Replacing the rubber seals or adjusting the door’s alignment will help solve this issue.
Remote control failure is often caused by battery issues or interference from other devices. Testing the remote and checking for obstructions can restore functionality.
Preventative Maintenance Tips
Regular maintenance is key to avoiding these problems. We recommend:
- Scheduling quarterly inspections to check for wear and tear
- Lubricating moving parts monthly to ensure smooth operation
- Cleaning sensors and tracks weekly to prevent blockages
- Monitoring the door’s performance during peak usage times
