Aluminium shopfronts Randburg businesses need are usually small and practical. A neighbourhood centre unit, a pharmacy, a doctor’s rooms or a hair salon typically has a 3 to 6 m frontage with one entrance door. Coetz™ makes the aluminium shopfront at our Laser Park workshop, a short drive from Randburg, and MC Automations, our parent company, measures, quotes and installs it. The standard glass is 6.38 mm clear laminated safety glass, in any frame colour.

Aluminium shopfronts Randburg: small frontages done properly
A small frontage still needs three things to work:
- A door that suits the traffic. A hinged door is fine for a quiet service business. For a busy pharmacy or café, an automatic door saves staff and lets customers with trolleys, prams or wheelchairs in without help.
- Privacy where you need it. Obscured glass on the lower part of the frontage suits medical rooms, salons and offices while keeping light in. It’s quoted separately.
- A place for signage. A fixed panel or fascia above the door carries your name.
Medical rooms and professional practices
Doctors, dentists, physiotherapists and other practices in Randburg’s centres often need:
- Obscured glass to the waiting room and consulting areas.
- An easier entrance. An automatic swing door opens on its own, which helps wheelchair users and patients on crutches.
- A calm, neutral colour, or your practice colour. Any powder-coat colour is available.
Automatic doors for small entrances
For a single small entrance, the swing operator is usually the right choice:
- MCW-100 swing operator: R15 900 excluding VAT, with installation included in Gauteng.
- MC-125 sliding operator: R27 590 excluding VAT, with installation included in Gauteng, where there is room for a sliding door.
Both have a 24-month warranty on the operator and a 6-month service interval. See automatic doors Randburg.
Upgrading an older frontage
Many Randburg centres are 30 years old or more, with tired frames and single glazing. A new aluminium shopfront replaces the whole frontage:
- MC Automations measures the opening and checks what the old frame is fixed to.
- Coetz™ makes the new framing to the measured sizes.
- MC Automations removes the old front and installs the new one. Agree the timing with your centre manager.
Getting a quote
Every shopfront is quoted per project after a site measure. Send the frontage width and height, photos and how the entrance is used through get a quote. Glazing for shops must meet SANS 10400-N, published by the South African Bureau of Standards.
