Automatic entrance doors Menlyn: 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.

Which door type suits the opening
Traffic and wall space decide the layout for automatic entrance doors Menlyn. 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.
Getting the opening right for automatic entrance doors Menlyn
Most trouble with a powered entrance starts at the opening, not the operator. We measure the structural opening, confirm the head can carry the load, look for anything above it that competes for space, and establish where the power comes in. An operator fixed to an inadequate head is the single most common cause of early call-outs, and it is entirely avoidable at survey stage.
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 Menlyn 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 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.
How often should the door be serviced?
Every six months as standard. A supermarket door doing thousands of cycles a day may need more frequent visits than a quiet office entrance.
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 Menlyn 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.
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.
