Because power-operated doors are essentially machines with moving parts, the safety of users is a key consideration. The obvious hazards are where moving parts move past fixed parts, creating the possibility of trapping fingers or even crushing bodies.

For a typical automatic revolving door, there are several potential danger points due to the number of closing edges. Even though the revolver door at the Hodson Bay Hotel is manual, it is still of utmost importance to maintain and service all moving parts. As with any product over time parts become worn and may need replacing.

However servicing and maintaining your equipment ensures the lifespan of the products are increased. It is vital that you maintain your automatic and manual entrance equipment in order to ensure safe and efficient operation and keep it running at peak capacity.
