Automatic Door Repair: What Our Expert Sees in the Field

The questions we get most about automatic doors, answered from the field by Yuval, one of JDM's elite technicians.

Motor, controller, or sensor

Almost every automatic door failure is one of three parts

On an automatic sliding door it is either the motor, the controller, or the sensor.

  • Those are the most popular problems by a wide margin.
  • That is why we diagnose all three before quoting anything, because the symptom at the door often points at the wrong one of the three.
The industry calls it ghosting

A door that opens on its own has a bad sensor, not a haunted one

When a door starts opening randomly with nobody there, that is called ghosting, and it means the sensor has gone bad.

  • It is not a setting and it is not something you can adjust your way out of.
  • The sensor gets changed for a new one and the ghosting stops.
Twice a year

Two maintenance visits a year prevent most of the calls we run

The customers who have us out twice a year for maintenance are not the ones calling us with an emergency.

  • Most of what we get called out for on automatic doors would have been caught on a scheduled visit while it was still an adjustment instead of a failure.

What We Fix in Broward County

  • Every Major Brand: We work on Stanley, Horton, Besam, Record, Nabco, and Dorma automatic doors, so you do not have to track down whoever installed the system years ago. If it slides or swings under power, we service it.
  • The Whole System, Not One Part: Sensors, drive belts, carriers, operators, control boards, and breakout hardware all interact. We diagnose them together, which is why our repairs tend to hold instead of coming back in a month.
  • Safety Testing on Every Visit: Before we leave, we test activation and reopen timing against ANSI A156.10 and check that the presence sensors actually hold the door for someone standing in the threshold.
  • Parts on the Truck: Common sensors, belts, carriers, and controllers ride with our technicians, so a lot of automatic door calls finish in one visit rather than waiting on an order.
  • Priority Response for Businesses: A dead automatic entry at a store or clinic is a closed front door. Commercial calls get priority scheduling, and we run after-hours and weekend service when a failure stops your operation.
  • Maintenance That Prevents the Call: Scheduled service catches drifting sensors, stretched belts, and worn carriers before they strand a door open or shut. Every visit comes with a written record of what we checked and adjusted.

Our Automatic Doors Process in Broward County

  1. Run the Door and Watch It Fail. We operate the door the way your customers do and watch where it actually goes wrong, then read any fault codes off the controller before opening anything up.
  2. Diagnose the System. Header, drive train, sensors, and safety circuit get checked as one system, so we find the cause rather than the symptom that happens to be visible.
  3. Quote, Then Repair. You get a flat-rate price before work starts. We tell you honestly whether the operator is worth repairing or has reached the end, and we never make that call before seeing the door run.
  4. Test and Hand Back. We set activation and reopen timing to ANSI A156.10, confirm the presence sensors hold the door, run the breakout, and walk you through what changed.

Automatic Doors Tips for Broward County Homeowners

Practical advice for maintaining your sliding doors in Broward County's local conditions.

Schedule Pre-Hurricane Inspections

Before each storm season, have your sliding doors professionally inspected so weather seals, locks, and frames can withstand wind-driven rain and pressure changes.

Rinse Tracks Monthly

Salt deposits build up quickly in Broward County's coastal air. Rinsing your sliding door tracks with fresh water monthly prevents the corrosive buildup that grinds down rollers and hardware.

Use Marine-Grade Lubricant

Standard lubricants break down quickly in coastal humidity. Apply a silicone-based, marine-grade lubricant to rollers and tracks every few months. See our coastal maintenance checklist for more tips.

Frequently Asked Questions: Automatic Doors in Broward County

What brands of automatic doors do you repair?

Stanley, Horton, Besam, Record, Nabco, dormakaba, ASSA ABLOY, and GEZE, plus most of the older equipment those companies absorbed over the years. Stanley operators are the ones we see most in US retail and grocery. You do not need to know who installed yours. Send a photo of the header and we can usually identify the system before the truck rolls.

My automatic door opens by itself. What causes that?

That is called ghosting, and it means the sensor has failed. When a door starts opening at random with nobody in front of it, the sensor is bad and needs replacing. Adjusting or reprogramming will not hold, because the part itself has gone.

Our automatic door is an old brand nobody seems to make anymore. Can it still be fixed?

Usually yes. Sourcing uncommon parts and discontinued hardware is a large part of what we do, and many older operators were absorbed by the manufacturers still trading today, so the parts have a current equivalent. Where a part genuinely no longer exists, the operator can normally be replaced without touching the panels or the framing, which costs a fraction of a new entrance.

The door opens but will not close, or closes too hard. Is that dangerous?

It can be, and it is worth treating as urgent. A door that will not close leaves the building open and unconditioned. A door that closes too fast or too hard is a strike risk, especially for older people and children. Both usually trace to the operator, the closing force setting, or a presence sensor that is no longer holding the door.

Do you repair the sensors, or only replace them?

Both, and which one depends on what the sensor is doing. A dirty lens or a sensitivity setting we correct on site. A sensor that has started ghosting, opening the door at random, has failed and gets replaced. We do not adjust a dead part and call it fixed.

Can you replace an automatic operator that is past its life?

Yes. When the operator has reached the end, we replace it and match the new unit to the door, the traffic it takes, and the activation setup already in place. We will not tell you it needs replacing before we have seen it run, because plenty of doors that look finished only need a carrier and a belt.

Do you offer maintenance for automatic doors?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance is where automatic doors pay you back, because sensors drift and belts stretch gradually rather than failing all at once. We run quarterly, semi-annual, or annual visits with a written record of what was checked, adjusted, and replaced.

Will the technician know the brand of operator we have?

Yes. Our technicians are trained directly on the operators they service, and between Stanley, Horton, Besam, Record, Nabco, and Dorma that covers most of what is installed out there. If you can send a photo of the header before the visit, we will have the right parts on the truck instead of making it a two-trip job.

How fast can you get someone out for a broken automatic door?

Commercial automatic door calls get priority scheduling, and we run same day or next day in most of our markets depending on capacity in your area. If the door is stuck open and the building is exposed, say so when you call and we will treat it as an emergency.

How much does automatic door repair cost?

It depends on what failed. A sensor re-aim or a belt is at the low end, an operator or control board is at the high end, and a full operator replacement is a different conversation again. We quote flat-rate after seeing the door, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

Broward County-Specific Questions

How does salt air affect automatic door repair needs in Broward County?

In my experience, salt air in coastal Broward County speeds up corrosion on metal parts: tracks, rollers, and lock mechanisms all take a beating. That is why my crew uses marine-grade, corrosion-resistant parts on every coastal repair so the fix lasts. I recommend maintenance every 6 to 12 months to get the most life out of your sliding door system near the water.

Should I get my sliding doors serviced before hurricane season in Broward County?

Absolutely, and I push every Broward County customer to do it. Pre-storm maintenance keeps your doors sealing against wind-driven rain, makes sure locks engage fully, and confirms every component is secure. We like to schedule a full inspection in late spring, and on Broward County jobs we also verify your door system meets the applicable wind code.
