We also handle storefront door repair and accessible entrance repair across Dallas County. Flat-rate pricing, most jobs done same day or next.
The questions we get most about automatic doors, answered from the field by Yuval, one of JDM's elite technicians.
On an automatic sliding door it is either the motor, the controller, or the sensor.
When a door starts opening randomly with nobody there, that is called ghosting, and it means the sensor has gone bad.
The customers who have us out twice a year for maintenance are not the ones calling us with an emergency.

Practical advice for maintaining your sliding doors in Dallas County's local conditions.
Hail bends the track lip and tears seals even when the glass looks fine. Run your finger along the track after a storm, and if it is no longer straight, get it looked at before the rollers wear crooked.
North Texas clay swells when it rains and shrinks in a dry summer, and Dallas County doors move with it. If your slider suddenly drags on one corner, that is the opening shifting. Have it checked before the rollers take the damage.
Those small drain slots in the bottom track fill with dust and grass seed over the winter. Spring storms in Dallas County come sideways, and a blocked track holds water against the frame. Clear them each March. See our track cleaning guide.
Two maintenance visits a year, and most of these calls never happen.
The customers we see twice a year for scheduled maintenance are not the ones calling with an emergency. Ask us what a maintenance schedule looks like for your doors.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Nine times out of ten in Dallas County, it is the slab, not the rollers. The clay soil under North Texas swells after a wet spell and shrinks through a dry summer, and that movement racks the door opening out of square. New rollers on a crooked opening wear out fast. My crew checks the frame and the track for square first, shims it back to where the house sits now, and then replaces the parts that are actually worn.
