Why hospitals choose automatic doors: automatic doors for hospitals
- Hygiene & infection control — hands-free entry reduces contact with door handles.
- Accessibility — effortless access for wheelchairs, beds, trolleys and stretchers.
- Wide, clear openings — sized for hospital equipment.
- Reliability — healthcare cannot afford downtime, so quality and servicing matter.
- Access control — secure restricted areas like wards, theatres and dispensaries.
The right automatic doors for healthcare
Main entrances typically use automatic sliding doors for wide, hands-free access, while automatic swing doors suit internal and ward doors. Regular maintenance keeps safety sensors accurate and doors dependable.

Choosing automatic doors for a hospital or clinic
Healthcare entrances put hygiene and access first. Touchless automatic doors let staff, patients, wheelchairs, beds and trolleys through hands-free, with wide clear openings and quiet operation that suits wards and theatres. Presence sensors and controlled speed keep everyone safe, and fail-safe operation means doors on escape routes open on power loss.
We fit both sliding and swing systems to the room. za/automatic-doors/”>automatic door range.

Why choose Automatic Doors For Hospitals
Hospitals, clinics and theatres depend on automatic doors for hospitals because hands-free operation is essential for hygiene, infection control and moving beds, trolleys and wheelchairs. Coetz supplies hermetic and standard automatic sliding doors with smooth, quiet operation, adjustable speed and hold-open timing, and sensors tuned for busy healthcare corridors.
Frames are aluminium, glazed with laminated safety glass, and finished to healthcare specifications. Battery backup ensures the doors keep working during power interruptions, and our maintenance team keeps them compliant and reliable. We supply, install and service nationwide, so every healthcare entrance stays safe and dependable.
Installation, service and pricing
Coetz Glazing manages every hospital automatic door project end to end. It starts with a free site measure, where our team checks the opening width, floor condition, power supply and traffic flow, then recommends the right operator, sensors and door configuration for the space.
38mm clear laminated safety glass as standard, and powder-coat it in the colour that suits the building. Installation is handled by our own installers, not subcontractors, so the fit and commissioning are done to spec and signed off on site.
Every automatic door is set to safe opening and closing speeds, with hold-open timing tuned to how the entrance is used during the day. Because we supply, install and service what we sell, there is one accountable team for the whole project and one number to call if anything ever needs attention.
We also stock the operators, sensors, drive belts and control boards we install, so repairs and routine maintenance are fast and there is no long wait for imported parts.
Pricing depends on the opening size, the operator, the glass specification and the sensors, so the quickest way to an accurate figure is a site visit and a fixed-price quote. Maintenance plans are available to keep the door safe, compliant and reliable, with scheduled service visits and priority call-outs.
From a single entrance to a nationwide roll-out, Coetz delivers automatic doors that look right, work every day and are backed by proper local support.

Specifying automatic doors for hospitals: what we need to quote
Most of the cost and most of the delay on a project is settled before anything is ordered. If you are specifying automatic doors for hospitals, the points below move the price, the lead time or the compliance position, so they are worth deciding early rather than on site.
- The structural opening. Measure the brickwork opening rather than an existing frame, and note whether the reveal is square.
- Traffic and duty cycle. A quiet office entrance and a centre entrance passing thousands of people a day are not the same specification.
- Power and controls. Confirm what supply reaches the head of the opening, and whether access control, an intercom or a fire panel must interface.
- Glass. Coetz™ glazes as standard with 6.38 mm clear laminated safety glass.
- Service access. Automatic door systems are installed and serviced by our team, so plan for periodic servicing from day one.
Send those details with your enquiry and we can price automatic doors for hospitals accurately first time. If something is still open, say so — quoting two options for automatic doors for hospitals now is far cheaper than altering a manufactured unit later.
