Choosing automatic doors for a hotel
A hotel entrance should feel effortless and grand. Automatic doors welcome guests hands-free, make light work of luggage and trolleys, and keep the lobby climate steady around the clock. Quiet, dependable operators suit an entrance that runs 24/7, and frameless glass creates an elegant, high-end arrival.
For larger openings we specify high-duty sliding systems with battery backup. See our automatic door range.
Why choose automatic doors For Hotels
Hotels and guesthouses across South Africa choose automatic doors for hotels because they create a welcoming, hands-free arrival for guests carrying luggage while sealing the lobby against dust, heat and noise.
A slim aluminium slider at the main entrance keeps air-conditioning in and street noise out, and pairs neatly with revolving or swing configurations for secondary doors. Coetz supplies, installs and services the complete system, with battery backup so the entrance keeps working through load-shedding and safety sensors that protect guests and staff.
Powder-coated framing is matched to your brand colours, and we handle everything from site measure to commissioning, then back it with local service and spares.
Installation, service and pricing
Coetz Glazing manages every hotel 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.
We glaze every door with 6.38mm 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.

What we check before quoting automatic doors for Hotels & Hospitality
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 doors for Hotels & Hospitality on programme.
Keeping automatic doors for Hotels & Hospitality 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.
Which door type suits the opening
Traffic and wall space decide the layout for automatic doors for Hotels & Hospitality. 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.
Do automatic doors work during load-shedding?
Only if that was specified. A battery backup keeps the door operating through a slot; without one, the door should be set to fail open or fail secure, with a manual release staff know how to use.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What glass comes as standard?
6.38 mm clear laminated safety glass, with tinted and performance options, quoted separately, where solar gain or privacy matters.
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.
