Automatic door installation in Pretoria

A powered entrance is only as good as the install behind it.

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.

Whatever term you use, Coetz covers it in Pretoria.

Which door type suits the opening

Traffic and wall space decide the layout for automatic door Services Pretoria. Single sliding is the everyday shopfront answer; bi-parting halves the travel and handles the busiest public entrances; telescopic stacks the leaves where there is not enough wall to park them; and a swing operator automates a hinged door you already have.

  • MC-125 sliding: single leaf to 150 kg, or bi-parting 2 × 120 kg, openings 1450–5000 mm.
  • MCW-100 swing: existing hinged doors to 1,200 mm / 150 kg (interdependent).
  • Tested to one million operating cycles, 2-year manufacturer warranty on the operator.

Survey and specification for automatic door services Pretoria

A survey for automatic door Services Pretoria is short but specific: structural opening width and height, the condition and support of the head, what runs above the ceiling line, the power position, and how people actually approach the doorway. Those notes become the specification, and they are also what makes two quotations comparable instead of guesswork.

Power, load-shedding and access control

Decide up front whether the door should fail open for escape or fail secure for stock, and whether a battery backup should keep it running through a load-shedding slot or simply park it safely. Whichever you choose, staff need to be shown the manual release. Access control belongs in the same conversation: card readers, push buttons, intercoms and time clocks are far cheaper specified with the door than cabled in afterwards through a finished ceiling.

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.

What glass is used?

6.38 mm laminated safety glass as standard, with the framing powder-coated to suit the building.

How much work will the door really do?

Traffic is the number that sizes automatic door Services Pretoria. Count people in and out, then add deliveries, staff movements and trolleys. A quiet reception and a supermarket entrance can look identical on a drawing and behave completely differently in service, which is why the cycle estimate belongs in the specification rather than in the assumptions.

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 Pretoria 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.

How quickly can a fault be attended?

Gauteng call-outs are attended within 24 hours, and service runs nationwide. Telling us the symptom when you call means the right spare travels with the technician.

Can access control be added later?

It can, but cabling into a finished ceiling costs more than specifying it with the door. Readers, push buttons, intercoms and time clocks are all straightforward at installation stage.
