Automatic entrance doors Mokopane: 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 Mokopane chooses automatic entrances
Mokopane sits in the hot Limpopo bushveld, in platinum-mining country, where heat and dust are hard on hardware. Reliable automatic entrances here use heat-tolerant, dust-sealed operators and quality sensors. Automation also improves accessibility, keeps cooled air inside, and gives retail and offices a professional, hands-free welcome.

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.

What to expect from Coetz Glazing
Every automatic entrance door project in Mokopane 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 Mokopane 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 Mokopane
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 Mokopane 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.
Matching the system to the traffic
Count the people, not the doors: one cycle is one open-and-close, so a doorway used by hundreds of people a day is doing far more work than the same doorway in a quiet office. That count, the opening width and the glass weight decide which system suits automatic entrance doors Mokopane.
- Single sliding for shops, receptions and clinics.
- Bi-parting for malls, supermarkets and hospital corridors — openings up to 5000 mm.
- Telescopic where the wall beside the opening is short.
- Swing operators to automate an existing hinged door.
What glass is used?
6.38 mm laminated safety glass as standard, with the framing powder-coated to suit the building.
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.
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 Mokopane 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.
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.
Can the door be set to stay open at busy times?
Yes. Hold-open time is adjustable, and many sites run a longer setting during deliveries or peak trading and a shorter one the rest of the day.
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.
