Automatic entrance doors Lephalale: 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.
Why Lephalale chooses automatic entrances
Lephalale is a power-generation and mining town in the Limpopo bushveld, where heat and dust are hard on hardware. Reliable automatic entrances here use heat-tolerant, dust-sealed operators and quality sensors.

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 bushveld heat and dust, choose heat-tolerant, dust-sealed operators from the start – it costs a little more up front and saves a lot in call-outs.

Which door type suits the opening
Traffic and wall space decide the layout for automatic entrance doors Lephalale. 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 we check before quoting automatic entrance doors Lephalale
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 Lephalale on programme.
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 entrance doors Lephalale 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.
How long do automatic doors last?
Life depends on traffic, environment and maintenance rather than age. The MC-125 operator is tested to one million operating cycles, and a serviced entrance comfortably outlives an unserviced one.
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.
Getting a fast, accurate figure
Send the structural opening sizes, a photograph taken square-on, and a note of the traffic, and a quotation for automatic entrance doors Lephalale comes back quickly. Where a site survey is needed, we will say so; a free site measure confirms the opening, the power supply and the traffic flow before a fixed price is given.
- Opening width and height, measured to the structure.
- A photograph showing the doorway and the space above it.
- Daily traffic and trading hours.
- Access control, intercom or backup power, if wanted.
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.
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.
