Whether we're talking about automatic sliding doors or automatic swing doors, automatic doors provide convenience, accessibility, and efficiency for businesses, hospitals, shopping centres, leisure centres and more.
However, to make sure your automatic door system, or power-assisted door system functions correctly and lasts for years, it's essential to choose a reputable and capable automatic door specialist.
In this short article, we look a little deeper into this subject and give you a list of 3 of the things you should look out for and consider when choosing an automatic door specialist to provide, install, and maintain your automatic doors.
Have they got experience in the automatic door industry?
As you would with any other specialist, you need to choose an automatic door specialist that has worked in the industry for long enough to gain the necessary experience in installing, maintaining and repairing all types of automatic doors.
This will mean, they would have fitted automatic door systems at a range of different properties, know the unique complexities involved, and will have a team of qualified, and reliable engineers equipped for the challenge. To find out this information, take a good look at their website, look at testimonials, examples of previous work, awards etc., or, simply ask, as most good automatic door companies will be happy to provide the proof you need.
Do they have a good reputation as an automatic door specialist?
Reputation is everything, and when investing in a new electric sliding door, or electric swing door system, it's essential to know if your contractor has a good reputation amongst their previous customers.
As mentioned above, you could look at the testimonials on their website, but, these may not tell you the whole story, so, you might want to dig a little deeper before making your final decision of whether to go ahead. To do this, research independent reviews online, but, don't dismiss a company because of one or two bad reviews, as previous negative reviews are often a catalyst for a business to make improvements.
And, if you want to go a bit further, you could also speak to other businesses who've dealt with the automatic door specialist, and even visit their premises to see the automatic door system in situ, and the workmanship for yourself.
Are they ADSA (Automatic Door Suppliers Association) certified?
ADSA (Automatic Door Suppliers Association) is a body set up to create a standardised code of practice throughout the automatic door industry, especially when it comes to the safety of pedestrians using the doors.
By choosing an ADSA-certified automatic door specialist, you can be sure each engineer has passed rigorous exams, and will have the highest level of ‘knowledge and competence in the powered pedestrian door industry’.
