ASSA ABLOY is a Swedish group best known for locks and door hardware. Its entrance automation arm carries the Besam name, so many sliding and swing doors in the Gulf bear either label.
Where these doors are found in Dubai
You meet this equipment at hotel lobbies on Sheikh Zayed Road, hospital and clinic entrances, office podiums in Business Bay and mall entrances in Downtown and the Marina. Such doors open and close all day, so the header, belt, carriers and controller take constant wear.
What Mount Everest Automatic Doors does
We are an independent installer and service company, not the manufacturer. Our work on ASSA ABLOY and Besam entrances includes:
- Fault finding on doors that stall, bounce back or open late.
- Replacing belts, carriers, wheels, sensors and controllers.
- Sourcing spares, or suggesting a compatible part when the original is gone.
- Scheduled maintenance with cleaning, adjustment and a safety test.
- Fitting new sliding or swing operators on suitable openings.
Check these before you call
A few details help the technician arrive prepared:
- Whether the door slides, swings or revolves.
- What the label inside the header shows, or a photo of it.
- Whether the fault is constant or only at busy hours.
- If the door is part of a fire or evacuation route, tell us, because the release function must be tested too.
- Any recent power cut, cleaning work or knock to the glass.
Older Besam units and spares
Many Besam doors in Dubai have been running for years, and some parts have since been replaced by newer designs. Send us a photo of the header label and the fault, and we will tell you whether the original part can be sourced or whether a compatible controller or sensor is the sensible route.
Planned maintenance suits towers and hotels best. A set routine of cleaning, belt and wheel checks and a safety test, agreed with your facilities team, usually finds trouble before guests or patients notice it.
What happens on the visit
A technician looks at the opening, the drive and the sensors, runs the door through repeated cycles and notes anything unsafe. You then receive a written quote for the work, with the cause explained in plain terms. Nothing is replaced before you agree, and any safety function that was touched is tested again before we leave.
Dubai conditions that affect these doors
Fine desert dust settles in floor guides and on radar lenses, while humid summer air meeting cold lobby air causes condensation on sensors. A tower on the Marina waterfront sees more salt in the air than an inland office. For hospitals and clinics, hygiene rules and round-the-clock traffic mean work is best planned outside peak hours, and we arrange that with your facilities team. Ask for a site visit and quote and we will inspect the unit before agreeing any work.
