Automatic sliding doors are high-traffic, safety-critical systems. When they’re working properly, they’re seamless. When they’re not, they create safety risks, downtime, and frustration.
At SHARC, automatic sliding doors are a core service — not an occasional add-on. We design, install, service, and maintain commercial automatic sliding door systems across Edmonton and surrounding areas, with a strong emphasis on service, preventative maintenance and multi-point inspections, similar to scheduled service for a vehicle.
Whether you need a new installation, a retrofit, or an ongoing service and maintenance program, we treat your sliding doors like mission-critical equipment.
We specialize in all makes and models, such as STANLEY, DORMAKABA, Nabco (Gyrotech), record, BESAM, LCN and More.
Sliding Door Specialists — This Is What We Do Every Day
Automatic sliding doors are often installed once and forgotten — until they fail. We take a different approach.
SHARC specializes in automatic door systems. We are not locksmiths or general contractors who “also do doors.” Sliding doors are part of what we work on every day, which means:
- We understand how sliding door systems wear over time
- We know where failures typically start
- We promote systems to be serviceable, not disposable
- We maintain doors before they become a problem
That experience directly impacts safety, reliability, and long-term cost of ownership.
Why Service and Preventative Maintenance Matters
Automatic sliding doors operate thousands of cycles every month. Without regular service:
- Sensors drift out of alignment
- Tracks and rollers wear unevenly
- Operators lose proper adjustment
- Safety systems degrade
- Unplanned failures become more likely
Preventative maintenance:
- Reduces emergency breakdowns
- Extends equipment life
- Improves safety for users
- Helps maintain code compliance
- Lowers total cost of ownership
Just like a vehicle, scheduled maintenance keeps everything operating safely and predictably.
Repairs and Emergency Service
If a door fails or begins operating improperly, we provide responsive service to address:
- Operational malfunctions
- Sensor and activation issues
- Track, roller, and alignment problems
- Electrical or control faults
- Safety system failures
Our goal is to restore safe operation quickly — and reduce the likelihood of repeat failures.
Multi-Point Inspections (MPI)
A Multi-Point Inspection (MPI) is a structured, repeatable check of your sliding door system — similar to what you receive when servicing a vehicle.
Our MPIs typically include:
- Track and roller condition
- Door panel alignment and movement
- Safety sensor positioning and field testing
- Activation device performance
- Operator function, speed, and force settings
- Electrical connections and controls
- Door hardware condition
- Code-related safety checks
MPIs allow issues to be identified and corrected before they cause failures or safety concerns.
Preventative Maintenance Programs
Our preventative maintenance services are designed for commercial reliability to ensure they confirm to AAADM Specifications.
- Cleaning and lubrication of moving components
- Adjustment of sensors and safety systems
- Tightening and inspection of mechanical hardware
- Verification of proper integration with access control systems
- Performance testing under real traffic conditions
Service intervals are typically scheduled quarterly, bi-annually, or annually, depending on door usage and environment.
