Automatic entrance doors Benoni: the options
Most powered entrances fall into a few types. Sliding units handle the highest foot traffic; swing operators automate hinged doors; telescopic doors give a wide clear opening in a narrow wall; and heavy-duty commercial doors are built for constant public use.
- Automatic sliding doors – the everyday shopfront and mall choice.
- Automatic swing doors – a cost-effective upgrade for offices and hinged doors.
- Telescopic sliding doors – a wide opening within a tight wall.
- Bi-parting commercial doors – hospitals, malls and campuses.
The right choice balances traffic, opening width, safety and the look of the frontage. See our full automatic sliding doors guide for how the technology works.

Working with Coetz Glazing
Every automatic entrance door project in Benoni 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 automatic entrance door in Benoni ourselves, one accountable team handles the job from quote to aftercare, with operators, sensors and spares kept in stock for fast repairs.
Budgeting for automatic entrance doors Benoni
Opening width, glass specification, sensor layout and access control are what separate one quotation from another, so compare them line by line rather than on the total alone. A free site measure confirms the opening, the power supply and the traffic before we commit to a fixed price, and the standard glazing is 6.38 mm laminated safety glass.
Sensors, safety and commissioning
An entrance is only as good as its sensors. Motion sensors open the door as somebody approaches and see movement rather than a standing person; presence sensors hold it open while somebody is in the opening, which is what stops a door closing on a person who has paused. Safety beams and a force limit reverse the leaf if something is in the way.
Commissioning sets opening and closing speed, hold-open time, force and the safety zones either side, and the settings are written down at handover so anyone adjusting the door later can see what it was signed off at.
What maintenance on automatic entrance doors Benoni involves
We recommend a service every six months, with more frequent visits for very busy entrances. Each visit realigns sensors, inspects belt, rollers and guides, re-checks opening and closing force and swaps wear parts before they fail. Because we hold operators, sensors, belts and control boards in stock, most repairs happen on the visit rather than waiting on an import.
Servicing runs nationwide, and Gauteng call-outs are attended within 24 hours.
What glass is used?
6.38 mm laminated safety glass as standard, with the framing powder-coated to suit the building.
Glass, frames and finishes
Standard glazing is 6.38 mm clear laminated safety glass, which holds together if it is ever broken and takes the edge off outside noise. Tinted and performance glass are available, quoted separately, where solar gain or privacy matters, and toughened glass suits frameless and low-level applications. The framing is powder-coated in the colour that suits the building, so an entrance reads as part of the frontage rather than something bolted on afterwards.
Upgrading an existing entrance
An existing doorway can usually be automated without rebuilding the frontage. A swing operator suits a hinged door that is staying put; a sliding installation replaces a tired frontage and gives a wider, cleaner opening. The deciding factors are the strength of the head, the squareness of the opening and the route for power.
Reading the symptoms
Most faults on automatic entrance doors Benoni are diagnosable before anybody arrives. A door held permanently open is usually a sensor fault or something moving in its detection zone. A door that reverses halfway is reacting to an obstruction or a tight force setting. Noise from the track points to rollers or guides. Telling us the symptom on the phone means the right part is on the van.
Can the hold-open time be changed?
Yes — it is adjustable at commissioning and afterwards, which is how sites run a longer hold during deliveries and a shorter one at quiet times.
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.
