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 Witbank.

How much do automatic door services Witbank cost?

Costs depend on the door type, size and whether it is supply, installation or a repair – a free site assessment gives an accurate, itemised quote.

What to expect from Coetz Glazing

Every automatic door project we take on in Witbank 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.

What we check before quoting automatic door services Witbank

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 Witbank on programme.

Keeping automatic door services Witbank working through a power cut

South African entrances have to answer a question most overseas specifications ignore. An optional battery backup keeps the operator running through a slot; without one, the door should be set to fail open or fail secure to suit the building, with a manual release your staff know how to use. If card readers, intercoms or a time clock are wanted, specify them now rather than cutting into a finished ceiling later.

Matching the system to the traffic

Count the people, not the doors: one cycle is one open-and-close, so a doorway used by hundreds of people a day is doing far more work than the same doorway in a quiet office. That count, the opening width and the glass weight decide which system suits automatic door Services Witbank.

  • Single sliding for shops, receptions and clinics.
  • Bi-parting for malls, supermarkets and hospital corridors — openings up to 5000 mm.
  • Telescopic where the wall beside the opening is short.
  • Swing operators to automate an existing hinged door.

How long do automatic doors last?

Life depends on traffic, environment and maintenance rather than age. The MC-125 operator is tested to one million operating cycles, and a serviced entrance comfortably outlives an unserviced one.

Can an existing hinged door be automated?

Usually yes. The MCW-100 swing operator fits an existing hinged door up to 1,200 mm and 150 kg (interdependent), with push-arm and pull-arm options.

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.

Comfort, access and energy

A door that opens only when it is needed keeps conditioned air inside and dust and noise out, which is the practical argument for automation beyond convenience. Set the hold-open time for the slowest user rather than the fastest, add presence detection so nobody is caught in the opening, and the entrance works for everybody who uses the building.

Sizing against real use

Before anything is ordered we work out roughly how many cycles the doorway will see in a day. That figure drives the operator choice, the sensor layout and the service interval. It is also the honest way to compare quotations: two prices for the same opening mean very little if one was specified for light use and the other for constant public traffic.

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.

What happens when we report a fault?

We take the symptom over the phone so the right part is loaded, then attend — within 24 hours in Gauteng and within 48 hours elsewhere.
