Automatic Door Repair and Installation in Milwaukee
Affordable Locksmith LLC provides a wide range of commercial locksmith services, including automatic door installation and repair services for properties across Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties. We service both exterior and interior doors, helping businesses maintain secure, accessible entry points that meet daily demands.

Repair Services for Automatic Doors
If your retail or other commercial property has automatic doors, you can count on our experienced technicians to provide a full range of repair and maintenance services to keep your doors working properly.
We diagnose and repair the system if your door isn’t opening, closing correctly, or responding to motion. This includes checking the motor, control arm, motion sensor, and activation switches. Noisy operation, inconsistent timing, or safety sensor malfunctions often indicate worn or misaligned parts. We fix:
- Swing and sliding entry doors in retail or healthcare facilities
- Interior systems in offices or shared restrooms
- Mechanical problems like broken actuators, misaligned tracks, or faulty switches
Our goal is to restore smooth, safe movement with minimal downtime. When possible, we replace worn components during the same visit.
Installation of Automatic Entry Systems
We install complete operator systems on wood, steel, or aluminum doors based on traffic volume and door weight. Each installation is tailored to the space, with adjustments for hold-open time, activation method, and mounting type. We provide setup for both interior and exterior access points. Doors we equip include:
- Public entrances and exits
- Restrooms and meeting rooms
- Staff-only hallways or service areas
Once installed, we test the opener for speed, timing, and user safety. We also explain system basics so your team knows how to operate and maintain the equipment.
Common Automatic Door Issues
Many businesses contact us when their automatic doors begin to show signs of trouble. Common issues include partial opening, delayed movement, unresponsive sensors, loud operation, or doors that jerk during use. In some cases, the door may slam shut or remain stuck in the open position.
These problems often result from worn components, sensor misalignment, or incorrect programming. We assess the entire system, including the motor, tracks, and activation devices, and resolve the issue to restore smooth operation.
Access Control Compatibility
Some entry points benefit from controlled access, and we can integrate standalone keypad and/or card-based access control devices if your door supports electronic hardware. We check compatibility with electronic strikes or magnetic locks during scheduling and install supported equipment during the same visit.
This option is helpful for staff-only entrances or restricted service areas where you need to manage who enters without using keys.
Support for High-Traffic and Interior Doors
Doors in busy areas like clinics, retail shops, and public offices need systems that withstand frequent use. We ensure the operator is rated for daily cycles and that all sensors and safety features are fully functional.
Interior systems have different needs, such as slower closing speeds or compact operators. We select equipment suited to rooms like accessible restrooms, shared offices, and meeting areas. Each door is adjusted to match the environment.
Preventative Maintenance Options
Many Milwaukee businesses choose recurring service appointments to keep doors running smoothly. We inspect sensors, motors, hinges, and other moving parts to catch problems early. Regular maintenance reduces the chance of unexpected downtime and extends the life of your system.
If your building depends on reliable entry access, we recommend scheduled maintenance every 6 to 12 months based on usage.
