Automatic sliding door repair and service in NYC
Bee Locksmith services and repairs automatic sliding doors for storefronts, building lobbies and medical offices in New York City, Westchester and Long Island. Sensors, belts, tracks, rollers, breakout panels and the locks on the sliders: our mobile technicians keep the entrance opening, closing and locking, and we can arrange the annual safety inspection.
Sliding door problems we fix
- Sensors: doors that will not open, open for nothing, or close on people; activation and safety sensors adjusted or replaced
- Belts and drives: worn or slipping belts, failing motors and gearboxes, control boards that fault out
- Tracks, rollers and guides: panels that drag, jump the track, grind or stop part way
- Breakout panels: panels that swing out for emergency egress, but will not reset, latch or stay aligned
- Locks for sliders: hook bolts, key and thumb-turn locks, electric locks and lock position switches
- Weather and drafts: sweeps, seals and thresholds on exterior sliders

Medical offices and clinics
Patient entrances and suite doors in medical and dental offices often run on automatic sliders, and many clinics use sliding treatment-room or ICU-style doors. We service the operator, the sensors and the locks, and tie the door to access control or the intercom for after-hours entry.
Annual safety checks
- The automatic door industry recommends a daily safety check by the owner and an annual inspection by an inspector certified by the American Association of Automatic Door Manufacturers (AAADM)
- We can arrange an AAADM-certified inspection for your doors, and our technicians make the repairs it calls for
- We show your staff the daily check: sensors, speed, breakout and signage
Locks, access control and after-hours
- Locks set so the slider is secure when the store or lobby is closed
- Card readers and intercoms that open the slider after hours; see access control
- Electric locks and lock monitoring tied into the operator controls

Frequently asked questions
Our automatic sliding door will not open. What usually causes it?
Most often a sensor, a worn belt or a control fault, and sometimes a lock that did not release. We diagnose on site and fix it or make the door secure until the part arrives.
The sliding door keeps opening for no reason. Can you fix it?
Usually. That is often a sensor that is out of adjustment or picking up traffic outside. We adjust or replace it and test the safety zones.
What are breakout panels?
Panels on many automatic sliders that swing out when pushed, so people can get out in an emergency or a power failure. We repair breakout hardware and reset panels that will not latch back in place.
Do automatic sliding doors need an annual inspection?
The industry recommends an annual inspection by an AAADM-certified inspector, plus a daily check by the owner. We can arrange the inspection and make the repairs.
Can you lock an automatic slider at night?
Yes. Sliders can be locked with key or thumb-turn locks or electric locks, and opened after hours with a card reader or intercom.
