What is a commercial door operator?

A commercial door operator is the motor and drive that raises, lowers, or swings a door, doing the heavy lifting on dock doors, rolling doors, and automatic entrances. It carries its own controls, limit switches, and safety devices. A-24 Hour Door services operators across Buffalo and Western New York, from sectional and rolling drives to automatic entrance operators.

Why did my door operator burn out?

Operators burn out from wear and from being overworked. In Buffalo, cold thickens the grease so the door drags, and the operator works harder on every cycle, burning out motors and wearing gearing faster. Servicing the door and operator together heads this off. A-24 Hour Door checks whether the door is making the operator strain during any operator repair.

Are automatic door operators a safety concern?

Yes. Automatic operators open and close on their own near people, so the photo-eyes, sensors, and reversing devices that stop the door on an obstruction must work every time. AAADM certification exists for safe service of these systems. A-24 Hour Door's AAADM-certified technicians service automatic operators and their safety devices together across Buffalo.
