Automatic Door Opener – Repair (Commercial & Residential)
Opener not activating, door slamming, or sensors acting up? GOAT Locksmith and Doors diagnoses and repairs automatic door openers and related hardware across Toronto & the GTA. We restore safe activation, smooth travel, and positive latching—then fine-tune for daily reliability.
Common Automatic Opener Problems We Fix
- Door won’t open/close: power, control board, relay, or activation circuit issues
- Slamming or drifting: arm/closer mis-set (sweep/latch), incorrect sizing or handing
- Inconsistent activation: faulty push plate, wave sensor, or wireless receiver
- Safety concerns: approach/safety sensor alignment and stop times out of spec
- Hardware wear: loose arms, bent pivots/hinges, misaligned strikes causing re-open
Our Repair & Calibration Process
1) Inspect & Test
Check power, controller, sensors, push plates, door closer, hinges/pivots, strike, and travel limits.
2) Fix the Root Cause
Replace faulty activation/safety components, secure arms, correct mounts, and repair worn hardware.
3) Calibrate & Time
Set opening speed, dwell, and closing (sweep/latch) timing for smooth operation and clean latching.
4) Final Verification
Test activation methods (push plate/wave) and verify safe re-opening behavior during approach.
What We Service
- Swing door operators and arms
- Wired/wireless push plates and receivers
- Wave-to-open sensors (approach/safety)
- Closers integrated with operators (sweep/latch tuning)
- Hinges/pivots/continuous hinges and strikes
When Replacement Makes Sense
On older or repeatedly failing operators, we’ll advise replacement options. We also ensure the door, closer, hinges, and strike are aligned so a new operator performs properly long-term.

Automatic Door Opener – FAQs
The opener runs but the door won’t move—what’s wrong?
Often an arm issue, loose hardware, or closer settings fighting the operator. We secure hardware and re-tune closer and timing.
Our push plate works sometimes—sensor or wiring?
Could be either. We test plate, receiver, cabling, and power; we also verify wave sensor alignment and range.
The door re-opens after closing—why?
Safety/approach sensors may be detecting motion or misaligned. We align sensors and adjust dwell/closing timing.
Do you replace operators if repair isn’t viable?
Yes. We’ll recommend options and ensure the door, hinges, closer, and strike are aligned for long-term reliability.
