How the safety side actually works
Two sensor types work together on automatic door Services Cape Town: motion detection to open on approach, and presence detection to hold the door while somebody stands in the opening. Add safety beams and a force limit and the door reverses rather than pushing. Most call-outs we attend are sensors knocked out of alignment by a trolley or a delivery, not motors that have failed.
We walk the opening with a trolley and at normal walking pace before handover, then record the speed, hold-open and force settings.
Servicing, spares and call-outs
We recommend a professional service every six months, with more frequent visits for very busy entrances such as malls. A visit checks and realigns the sensors, inspects the belt, rollers and guides, re-checks opening and closing force, and replaces wear parts before they strand the door. Wear items are replaced as part of servicing rather than under warranty.
We stock the operators, sensors, drive belts and control boards we fit, so a repair does not wait on an imported part. Automatic doors are installed and serviced nationwide, with call-outs within 24 hours in Gauteng.
What changes the price
Pricing for automatic door Services Cape Town follows the opening width, the glass, the sensors and any access control, so a figure quoted without seeing the opening is a guess. Every project starts with a free site measure, which confirms the opening, the power supply and the traffic flow before a fixed price is quoted. Glazing is 6.38 mm laminated safety glass as standard, and frames are powder-coated to suit the building.
What warranty applies to the operator?
The MC-125 and MCW-100 carry a 2-year manufacturer warranty. Wear items such as belts, rollers and guides are replaced as part of servicing rather than under warranty.
How often should the door be serviced?
Every six months as standard. A supermarket door doing thousands of cycles a day may need more frequent visits than a quiet office entrance.
What the entrance is made of
Glass and frame decide how automatic door Services Cape Town looks and how it behaves in use. The standard is 6.38 mm laminated safety glass; performance and tinted glass are options, quoted separately, where heat or privacy are a factor. Frames are powder-coated to the building colour, and slim sightlines keep more of the opening as daylight rather than aluminium.
Upgrading an existing entrance
An existing doorway can usually be automated without rebuilding the frontage. A swing operator suits a hinged door that is staying put; a sliding installation replaces a tired frontage and gives a wider, cleaner opening. The deciding factors are the strength of the head, the squareness of the opening and the route for power.
Reading the symptoms
Most faults on automatic door Services Cape Town are diagnosable before anybody arrives. A door held permanently open is usually a sensor fault or something moving in its detection zone. A door that reverses halfway is reacting to an obstruction or a tight force setting. Noise from the track points to rollers or guides. Telling us the symptom on the phone means the right part is on the van.
Can we add card readers or an intercom?
Yes. They are far cheaper included with the original installation than retro-fitted, because the cable route is open while the header is being fitted.
Can the door be set to stay open at busy times?
Yes. Hold-open time is adjustable, and many sites run a longer setting during deliveries or peak trading and a shorter one the rest of the day.
