Automatic entrance doors Centurion: 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.

What to expect from Coetz Glazing
Every automatic entrance door project in Centurion 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 Centurion ourselves, one accountable team handles the job from quote to aftercare, with operators, sensors and spares kept in stock for fast repairs.
What we check before quoting automatic entrance doors Centurion
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 entrance doors Centurion on programme.
Power, load-shedding and access control
Decide up front whether the door should fail open for escape or fail secure for stock, and whether a battery backup should keep it running through a load-shedding slot or simply park it safely. Whichever you choose, staff need to be shown the manual release. Access control belongs in the same conversation: card readers, push buttons, intercoms and time clocks are far cheaper specified with the door than cabled in afterwards through a finished ceiling.
Which door type suits the opening
Traffic and wall space decide the layout for automatic entrance doors Centurion. 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.
What glass is used?
6.38 mm laminated safety glass as standard, with the framing powder-coated to suit the building.
What happens when the power goes off?
With the optional battery backup the door keeps running through a slot. Without it, the door parks in the fail-open or fail-secure state you chose, and can be released by hand.
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 entrance doors Centurion 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.
Sizing against real use
Before anything is ordered we work out roughly how many cycles the doorway will see in a day. That figure drives the operator choice, the sensor layout and the service interval. It is also the honest way to compare quotations: two prices for the same opening mean very little if one was specified for light use and the other for constant public traffic.
How quickly can a fault be attended?
Gauteng call-outs are attended within 24 hours, and service runs nationwide. Telling us the symptom when you call means the right spare travels with the technician.
Can access control be added later?
It can, but cabling into a finished ceiling costs more than specifying it with the door. Readers, push buttons, intercoms and time clocks are all straightforward at installation stage.
