Automatic entrance doors Carletonville: 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.

Tips for a smooth project
Confirm the power supply and opening size early, and add battery backup so the door works through load-shedding. Ask about warranty on the operator, whether a service plan is included, and how quickly call-outs are answered in your area. Given the mining-belt dust, choose robust, dust-sealed operators and quality sensors from the start – it costs a little more up front and saves a lot in call-outs.

Working with Coetz Glazing
Every automatic entrance door project in Carletonville 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 Carletonville ourselves, one accountable team handles the job from quote to aftercare, with operators, sensors and spares kept in stock for fast repairs.
How the safety side actually works
Two sensor types work together on automatic entrance doors Carletonville: motion detection to open on approach, and presence detection to hold the door while somebody stands in the opening. Add safety beams and a force limit and the door reverses rather than pushing. Most call-outs we attend are sensors knocked out of alignment by a trolley or a delivery, not motors that have failed.
We walk the opening with a trolley and at normal walking pace before handover, then record the speed, hold-open and force settings.
What maintenance on automatic entrance doors Carletonville 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.
Budgeting for automatic entrance doors Carletonville
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.
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.
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 the entrance is made of
Glass and frame decide how automatic entrance doors Carletonville looks and how it behaves in use. The standard is 6.38 mm laminated safety glass; performance and tinted glass are options, quoted separately, where heat or privacy are a factor. Frames are powder-coated to the building colour, and slim sightlines keep more of the opening as daylight rather than aluminium.
Can the existing opening be used?
Most retrofits work. We check three things for automatic entrance doors Carletonville: the head and its support, how square the opening runs, and where the power is. If all three are workable, an operator goes onto the opening you already have. If they are not, we say so before quoting rather than discovering it on installation day.
Common faults and what they mean
Doors that stay open usually have a sensor seeing something that is not there — a reflection, a banner moving in the draught, or a unit knocked out of alignment. Doors that stop short are often reacting to an obstruction or a force limit set too tight. Grinding or juddering points at the rollers or the guide rather than the motor. None of those need a new operator; they need a technician with the right spares in the van.
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.
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.
