How Can You Tell If a Door Sensor Is Bad?

Automatic doors rely on sensors to detect the presence of a person and trigger the door to open or close. If the sensor is not working properly, the door may not open or close correctly, which can cause inconvenience and safety issues. So how can you tell if a door sensor is bad? Here are some signs to look for:

• The door does not open or close when someone approaches it
• The door opens and closes randomly, even when no one is near it
• The door opens or closes slowly
• The door makes unusual noises when opening or closing
• The door does not stay open for the expected amount of time

If you notice any of these signs, there may be a problem with the door sensor. It could be a simple fix, such as adjusting the sensor's sensitivity or cleaning the sensor. However, if the problem persists, it may be necessary to replace the sensor altogether.
