Automatic Doors
Sliders and swing operators serviced on the locking side, where a locksmith belongs.
What this service actually involves
Automatic entrances mix a locksmith's world with an operator technician's, and the honest page says which half is whose. The locking half is ours: floor locks and hookbolts on sliding panels, electrified locking that ties into access control, cylinders keyed to the building, and manual overrides that must work when power does not.
The van also handles the failure that strands businesses at opening time, an automatic slider that will not lock at close or unlock at open, and coordinates with operator specialists when the motor and sensor side is the patient. Egress rules hold here doubly: an automatic door on an exit path must always release outbound.
Questions, answered straight
The slider will not lock at closing time.
Usually the floor lock, hookbolt or their alignment rather than the operator. Standard locksmith repair, often same visit.
Power is out and the door is stuck.
Every automatic entrance has a manual release and lock path; part of servicing yours is making sure it works and your staff know where it is.
Is the motor side your work too?
Sensors and operators belong to operator technicians, and pretending otherwise serves nobody. The locking hardware, cylinders and access integration are the locksmith's half, done properly.
