GEZE UK’s individual approach to door servicing

01 February 2013

A new tailor made service has been developed by a manufacturer of door and window control systems

GEZE UK uses in-depth data analysis to identify the most appropriate service level for each and every automatic door across an estate, ranging from one star to four stars. This detailed planning can help maximise the lifetime of each door as well as reduce the costs associated with it.

For FM companies with contracts for large estates, a system like this can be very beneficial, ensuring that doors are prioritised according to their need for regular servicing, rather than adopting a ‘one size fits all’ approach.

Service Director Steve Marshall explains: “A busy main entrance will need four star attention, with regular visits and the most reactive response times, whereas a side entrance that is seldom used would typically be classified as a one star, requiring only limited routine attention each year. A two star may be a delivery entrance, while a three star could be a fire door. It’s important though, that the service package chosen is reviewed annually, as part of an evaluation that examines the data and re-classifies doors where necessary.”

The tailor-made service can also utilise other technologies including asset management and GEZE UK’s remote monitoring device iContact to gain more specific and accurate data, providing individual cost analysis for each door.
