Why is professional maintenance of revolving doors important, and what does it involve?
Proper maintenance of turnstile doors is crucial to ensure both safety and functionality. Automatic revolving doors fall under the EN 16005 standard for automatic doors, which requires that safety levels comply with the standard's guidelines throughout the door’s entire lifespan. Building managers, responsible parties, or owners are obligated to maintain the door in optimal condition.
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the door continues to operate correctly and to significantly extend its lifespan. Maintenance requirements vary based on the manufacturer, door type, frequency of use, and other factors. Standard maintenance tasks include:
- Inspecting and lubricating moving components
- Replacing worn or damaged parts
- Calibrating sensors
- Checking and adjusting settings
- Updating software when necessary
In addition to professional servicing, routine tasks should be performed by the door’s manager daily, weekly, or monthly. These include:
- Conducting general inspections
- Monitoring for error codes
- Performing operational tests
- Testing the emergency stop button
- Cleaning the door
Regular and professional maintenance ensures compliance with safety standards, prolongs the door's lifespan, and guarantees reliable performance.
