Spring into Action with Stanair

The sun is finally making a reappearance, the days are getting longer, and there’s a fresh energy in the air—spring has officially arrived! It’s a season of renewal, making it the perfect time to ensure your industrial doors and essential equipment are in top condition. The shift from cold, damp conditions to warmer weather can have a significant impact on the performance of your doors. 

As you prepare for the months ahead, now is the time to ask: Are your industrial doors ready for the change in seasons? Read on to discover why spring is the ideal time for servicing, the risks of delaying maintenance, and how Stanair can help keep your business running smoothly. 

 

Winter’s harsh conditions may have left your industrial doors with hidden damage. The repeated cycle of freezing and thawing can cause metal components to expand and contract, leading to misalignment and wear. 

Moisture from rain and condensation can accelerate rust and deterioration, affecting not only the door itself but also its mechanisms and safety features. Addressing these issues now, before they escalate into major problems, can save your business significant time and money. 

 

 

It’s understandable that some businesses attempt to carry out door maintenance themselves, but without professional expertise, this can lead to costly mistakes. Industrial doors have many complex moving parts, and failing to spot early warning signs of damage can result in unexpected failures. Using incorrect lubricants or tools can actually cause more harm than good, reducing efficiency instead of improving it. Safety features, such as sensors and emergency stop mechanisms, must also be checked thoroughly to ensure compliance with the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992. A professional servicing plan with Stanair eliminates these risks by ensuring your doors are inspected, maintained, and repaired by fully trained experts.

As a registered member of the Door & Hardware Federation (DHF), we strictly follow the latest industry standards, ensuring that our services are always up to date and fully compliant. 

All our engineers undergo continuous training to ensure they are equipped with the latest knowledge and skills.

Regular maintenance isn’t just good practice—it’s a legal requirement. The UK’s Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 state that employers must ensure workplace equipment, including industrial doors, is kept in an efficient state and in good repair. Failing to meet these obligations can result in hefty fines, legal consequences, and, most importantly, increased safety risks for employees and visitors. Additionally, the DHF Code of Practice sets out strict servicing guidelines to ensure compliance. A professional servicing contract with Stanair gives you peace of mind that your doors and safety products are fully compliant, avoiding any potential regulatory issues. 

 

 

Our January 2025 guide, "Ensure Your Premises is 2025 Ready," highlighted how planning ahead with servicing can prevent unexpected breakdowns. Spring is the ideal time to act. Booking servicing now ensures your industrial doors remain in peak condition before higher summer temperatures cause additional strain. 

 

Preventative maintenance is always more cost-effective than reactive repairs, and our servicing plans can help extend the lifespan of your equipment while reducing long-term costs. Even if you have newly installed doors, regular servicing is essential to maintain your warranty validity and ensure optimal performance.
