Why is my automatic door not closing?
The Door Isn't Opening or Closing
If customers are standing by the automatic sliding door and it's refusing to budge, it could be a sign of a bad sensor. The first thing you'll want to check, however, is the power supply. A blown fuse or popped circuit are two other reasons the door might not be working.
How do automatic closing doors work?
