What factors determine the frequency of electric door opener failures?
Are electric door motors prone to frequent malfunctions? What factors determine the frequency of electric door opener failures? As a manufacturer of electric door/gate openers, J&G Motor will address these questions in this article, aiming to help you select high-quality, stable, and reliable electric door motors.
• The frequency of electric door opener failures depends on the manufacturer.
Reputable manufacturers of electric door motors typically avoid competing solely on low prices, thereby ensuring reasonable and sufficient profit margins. This allows them to use quality materials without cutting corners and to maintain precise manufacturing processes—all of which contribute to reducing malfunctions. Conversely, manufacturers relying on low-price competition often compromise on material quality and workmanship, inevitably increasing the likelihood of failures.
• The frequency of electric door opener failures depends on the operating environment.
For instance, most roller shutter door motors are not waterproof. If installed in an environment with exceptionally high humidity, their failure rate will naturally increase. Conversely, installing them in suitable environments significantly reduces the occurrence of malfunctions.
• The frequency of electric door opener failures depends on the installation.
Whether it is friction between the electric roller shutter door panel and guide rails or installing a roller-type swing gate opener on a steeply sloped ground surface, improper installation inevitably leads to increased motor failures. Only correct and professional installation can minimize malfunctions.
• The frequency of electric door opener failures depends on usage duration.
In the market, you will find electric door motors with one-year warranties, as well as those offering three- or five-year warranties; some vendors even advertise “lifetime warranties.” In reality, warranty periods reflect how usage time affects failure rates. Therefore, when selecting a product, avoid electric door motors with excessively short warranty periods or those promising unlimited lifetime warranties.
