High-use properties in Somerset — including large apartment blocks, busy office buildings, and care homes — put significant demands on their intercom systems. The higher the usage, the faster components wear and the more frequently faults develop.
Why High-Use Properties Are More Vulnerable
- Door release mechanisms are activated dozens of times daily
- Entrance panel buttons are pressed hundreds of times per week
- Handsets in communal areas receive heavier handling
- More users means more opportunities for misuse or accidental damage
- Delivery drivers and contractors may use excessive force on entrance panels
Preventing Failures
- Specify robust equipment: Vandal-resistant entrance panels and commercial-grade handsets
- Increase maintenance frequency: Quarterly or even bi-monthly servicing for the busiest systems
- Keep spare parts available: Common replacement items should be held in stock to minimise downtime
- Educate users: Clear instructions for residents and staff help reduce misuse
