Repair or replace the operator?

Most automatic door problems are repairs: a sensor, a push button, a belt, a setting, or a door that needs realigning. Replacing the whole operator makes sense when:

• The motor or gearbox is worn out and the operator is old enough that a new unit is better value

• The control board has failed and a replacement board isn't available for that model

• The door's use has changed, for example a busier entrance that now needs a heavier-duty or full-energy operator

• You're upgrading an entrance for accessibility and the existing unit can't meet the requirement

We'll tell you which one it is before any work starts. See automatic door motor replacement in Toronto for what a replacement involves.

What to check before you call

1. Power: check the breaker and any power switch on or near the operator header.

2. Mode switch: many operators have a key or rocker switch (off, automatic, hold-open, exit only). Make sure it hasn't been switched off or locked.

3. Sensors: wipe the sensor lenses and clear anything near the door that could keep it open, such as signs, mats or stock.

4. Push buttons: if a wireless button stopped working, the battery is the most common cause.

5. After an outage: some operators need a reset or a relearn cycle once power comes back.

Step-by-step help: automatic door not opening and automatic door not working after a power outage. If the door is a safety risk, for example it closes on people or won't stop, switch it off and call us.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need the manufacturer to repair my Horton or dormakaba door?

No. A qualified automatic door technician can service most makes. If your operator is still under the manufacturer's warranty, check the warranty terms first, because some require the manufacturer or its dealer to do the work.

Can one company service different automatic door brands in the same building?

Yes. Many GTA buildings have a mix, for example Besam sliding doors at the main entrance and Micom or Hunter swing operators on washrooms and suites. KDL Locksmith services all eight brands covered here, so one call covers the building.

How do I know which brand of automatic door operator I have?

The brand name is usually printed on the operator cover (the header box above the door) or on a label inside it. If you can't find it, send us a photo of the header and the door when you request service.

What standards apply to automatic doors?

In North America, full-power automatic doors are covered by ANSI/BHMA A156.10, and low-energy and power-assist swing doors by ANSI/BHMA A156.19. In Ontario, the Building Code's barrier-free rules also require power door operators at many entrances and universal washrooms. Your door should be set up for the standard that matches how it's used.

Do you repair automatic doors outside Toronto?

Yes. KDL Locksmith serves Toronto and the GTA from 2060 Steeles Ave W, Unit 4, Vaughan. We're a family business, in the trade since 1988.
