Regular automatic door maintenance keeps your doors safe, reliable and running smoothly — and helps you avoid costly breakdowns. Coetz™ and MC Automations offer automatic door servicing and maintenance plans across Gauteng for sliding and swing systems.
Why automatic doors need regular servicing
Automatic doors are high-use mechanical systems. Over time, sensors drift, belts and rollers wear, and settings can change. Scheduled maintenance keeps safety sensors accurate, catches wear before it causes failure, and extends the life of your operator — protecting both users and your investment.

- Operator and motor inspection
- Belt, roller, track and guide inspection
- Full safety-function test

Working with Coetz Glazing
Every automatic door maintenance project at Coetz starts with a free site measure, so we can confirm the opening, the power supply and the traffic flow before quoting a fixed price.
We build each entrance around a durable aluminium frame, glaze it with 6.38mm laminated safety glass, and set the operator to safe opening and closing speeds during commissioning.
Because we supply, install and service every automatic door maintenance ourselves, one accountable team handles the job from quote to aftercare, with operators, sensors and spares kept in stock for fast repairs.
Why aluminium is the right choice
For automatic door maintenance, aluminium is the material that lasts. It will not rust, warp or rot, it shrugs off the South African sun, and it needs almost no maintenance beyond an occasional wipe-down.
Our frames are powder-coated in any colour, from crisp white and charcoal to bronze and natural anodised finishes, so the windows match the architecture instead of fighting it. Slim sightlines let in more glass and more daylight.
Every unit is glazed with 6.38mm laminated safety glass as standard, which improves security, cuts outside noise and holds together if it is ever broken. Double glazing and performance glass are available where thermal comfort matters.
We manufacture automatic door maintenance to your exact sizes in our own factory, so there is no waiting on imported stock and no compromise on fit. Large and repeat orders are planned and delivered on schedule.
From a single building to a full development, Coetz supplies, installs and services what we make. One accountable team, one point of contact, and a workmanship guarantee stands behind every installation.
