Automatic door installation in Durban
A powered entrance is only as good as the install behind it. We survey the opening, size the operator to your traffic, position the sensors and commission the door to recognised automatic door technology safety principles – so it opens hands-free and closes safely from day one. See our installation guide for detail.

Sensor doors, electric doors and access control
If you are searching for a sensor door or an electric door, that is exactly what an automatic door is – a powered door driven by an operator and motion sensors. We fit every kind of sensor (microwave motion, infrared presence, touchless wave and safety photocells), supply electric sliding doors, and can add keypads, card readers or intercoms for full access control. Whatever term you use, Coetz covers it in Durban.

What to expect from Coetz Glazing
Every automatic door project we take on in Durban 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 entrance ourselves, one accountable team handles the job from quote to aftercare, with operators, sensors and spares kept in stock for fast repairs.
Backup power and access control
Battery backup, fail-open or fail-secure behaviour and the manual release are decisions about the building, not the operator, so they belong in the specification for automatic door Services Durban from the start. The same is true of access control — readers, buttons, intercoms and time clocks all interrupt or enable the operator, and retro-fitting them is mostly cable and ceiling work.
Choosing the right configuration
A single sliding leaf suits a shop door or a reception; a bi-parting pair moves the same opening in half the travel, which is why malls, supermarkets and hospital corridors use it. Where the wall beside the opening is too short for the leaves to park, a telescopic arrangement stacks them. Hinged doors are automated instead with a swing operator.
- MC-125 sliding: up to 150 kg single leaf or 2 × 120 kg bi-parting, 1450–5000 mm clear opening.
- MCW-100 swing: fits an existing hinged door up to 1,200 mm and 150 kg (interdependent), push-arm or pull-arm.
- Both are tested to one million operating cycles and carry a 2-year manufacturer warranty on the operator.
What we check before quoting automatic door services Durban
The structural opening decides most of the specification, so we measure that rather than any existing frame. We then check whether the head is level and can carry an operator, what sits above the opening — a bulkhead, sprinkler line or services void all dictate where the header can physically go — and whether there is power at the head. Getting those three right before anything is ordered is what keeps automatic door Services Durban on programme.
What lifespan should I expect?
Cycles matter more than years. The MC-125 is tested to one million operating cycles; how long that lasts depends on the traffic the doorway carries and whether it is serviced on interval.
How long is the warranty?
Two years on the operator, from the manufacturer. Wear parts — belts, rollers, guides and seals — are handled through servicing rather than warranty.
What to send us for a quote
A useful quotation needs very little: the structural opening width and height, a photograph of the doorway taken square-on, a note of what is above the opening, and a rough idea of daily traffic. Tell us whether access control or a battery backup is wanted and the quote comes back complete rather than caveated.
- Structural opening width and height in millimetres.
- A square-on photograph of the doorway and what sits above it.
- Rough daily traffic, including deliveries.
- Whether access control, intercom or battery backup is wanted.
- Any deadline the entrance has to meet.
Making the entrance work for everybody
Hands-free access matters most to the people who find doors hardest: wheelchair users, parents with prams, delivery staff with both hands full. For automatic door Services Durban we set hold-open time against how quickly people really move through the opening, and presence detection holds the door for anyone who pauses. A push-pad or a wave switch can be added where staff want manual control.
Estimating the traffic honestly
One cycle is one open-and-close, so a doorway used by 400 people a day is not doing 400 cycles — it is doing far more once deliveries, staff and trolleys are counted. Estimating that number before ordering is what separates an entrance that lasts from one that needs a call-out every few months, because the operator, the sensors and the service interval are all chosen against it.
Can we choose a different glass?
Yes. The standard is 6.38 mm laminated safety glass, and tinted, obscured or performance glass can be specified, and is quoted separately, where the frontage needs it.
