What we did
Our team at Mount Everest Automatic Doors has completed a service visit on a high speed door at an industrial unit in Al Quoz, Dubai. The door is a tall panel door with clear vision strips, and the work was done from a mobile access tower so the technicians could reach every panel safely.
About the project
The photos show the team at work. The door sits in a black steel-clad frame with a black hood above it, and it is made of light-coloured panels with three clear vision strips across the lower half. Three technicians worked on the door at the same time. Two stood on the platforms of a mobile aluminium scaffold tower, each clipped on with a safety harness and a lanyard, and one crouched at the bottom of the door to wipe the lower edge. The tower stands on locked castor wheels on the paved yard in front of the door.
What we did
- Set up a mobile access tower in front of the door so the full height of the door could be reached.
- Worked at height in safety harnesses with lanyards fixed to the structure.
- Wiped down the door panels from the top of the door to the bottom.
- Cleaned the clear vision strips so operators can see through the door.
- Wiped the bottom edge of the door, where dust and dirt collect most.
Why high speed doors need regular maintenance
A high speed door opens and closes many times a day, so it wears faster than an ordinary door. Dust, sand and grime build up on the panels, the vision strips and the bottom edge, and in the UAE this happens quickly. A door that is cleaned and checked on a schedule stays easier to see through, runs more smoothly and is less likely to stop at a busy moment.
A normal service visit on a high speed door usually also covers checking the safety edge and the safety sensors, the guides and tracks, the seals, and the control panel. Ask us what is right for your door when you book.
