How Preventive Maintenance Can Save You Money and Trouble with Your Turnstile

The Problems of Reactive Repairs

When a turnstile stops working, it can cause many problems, such as:

• Less work done: If workers can’t get in or out of the building, they lose time and can’t do their work.
• Less security: A broken turnstile can let in people who don’t belong there.
• More money spent: Fixing a big turnstile problem can cost a lot of money, especially if you need special parts or workers.

The Advantages of Preventive Maintenance

Preventive maintenance is a cheaper way to avoid these problems and keep your turnstile in good condition. By doing regular maintenance tasks, you can:

• Spot and fix small problems before they become big problems.
• Make your turnstile last longer, so you don’t have to buy a new one.
• Make your turnstile work better and more dependably.

What to Do for Preventive Maintenance

Here are some of the main things you should do to take care of your turnstile:

• Check the turnstile gates, hinges, and sensors for any damage.
• Oil the parts that move to make them run smoothly.
• Clean the turnstile to get rid of dirt, dust, and rust.
• Test the turnstile to make sure it works right.
• Update the turnstile software, if it has any.
