Choosing automatic doors for an office
A reception sets the tone. Automatic doors give an office a professional, welcoming entrance and integrate neatly with access control, intercoms and card readers so security is never compromised. They also hold heated or cooled air inside, cutting energy costs.
A swing operator suits a single reception door; a sliding system suits a busy corporate lobby. See our automatic door systems.
Why choose automatic doors For Offices
Offices and reception areas choose automatic doors for offices to give visitors a professional, accessible and hands-free welcome. An automated aluminium entrance supports touch-free access, helps with climate control and works seamlessly with access-control and intercom systems for security.
Coetz supplies and installs sliding or swing automatic doors to suit the reception layout, all glazed with laminated safety glass and powder-coated to match the building. Battery backup keeps the door working during power cuts, and our team services and repairs what we fit, so your entrance stays reliable and presentable year-round.
Installation, service and pricing
Coetz Glazing manages every office 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.

Why offices choose automatic doors
A reception is a first impression. Automatic doors give offices a professional, welcoming entrance, integrate with access control, and keep heated or cooled air in. Swing and sliding operators suit everything from a single door to a corporate lobby. Compare options in our automatic door operator guide or browse the full automatic door range.

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 doors for Offices & Receptions 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 doors for Offices & Receptions
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 Offices & Receptions on programme.
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.
Which glass comes as standard?
6.38 mm laminated safety glass, with powder-coated framing in the finish that suits the frontage.
How much work will the door really do?
Traffic is the number that sizes automatic doors for Offices & Receptions. 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 doors for Offices & Receptions 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.
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.
Automatic doors for offices in short

Automatic doors for offices are supplied, installed and serviced by one team, with spares held locally.
Ask us about automatic doors for offices and we will confirm the opening, the power supply and the traffic flow before quoting a fixed price.
