Automatic entrance doors North Rand: 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.

Working with Coetz Glazing
Every automatic entrance door project in North Rand 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 North Rand 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 North Rand: 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.
Keeping it running after handover
The running cost of automatic entrance doors North Rand is decided by two things: how often it is serviced, and whether spares are local. Service intervals follow cycle counts, and a visit covers sensor alignment, belt, rollers and guides, opening and closing force, and wear parts. We keep the operators, sensors, drive belts and control boards we fit in stock. Installation and service cover the whole country, with call-outs within 24 hours in Gauteng.
How automatic entrance doors North Rand is priced
Four things move the number: how wide the opening is, what glass it carries, how many sensors the layout needs, and whether access control is included. That is why we confirm the opening, the power supply and the traffic flow at a free site measure and then quote a fixed price. Standard glazing is 6.38 mm laminated safety glass, powder-coated framing to match the frontage.
Which glass comes as standard?
6.38 mm laminated safety glass, with powder-coated framing in the finish that suits the frontage.
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.
Upgrading an existing entrance
An existing doorway can usually be automated without rebuilding the frontage. A swing operator suits a hinged door that is staying put; a sliding installation replaces a tired frontage and gives a wider, cleaner opening. The deciding factors are the strength of the head, the squareness of the opening and the route for power.
When something goes wrong
Describe what the door is doing and a technician can usually name the cause before travelling: held open points to sensors or a detection zone problem, reversing points to an obstruction or force limit, and noise points to rollers, belt or guides. Because the operators, sensors, belts and control boards we fit are held in stock, most of those are fixed on the first visit.
Specifying the glass and the frame
Laminated safety glass at 6.38 mm is the standard specification, chosen because it stays in the frame when broken. Where a frontage faces hard afternoon sun, performance glass earns its cost back in comfort; where privacy matters, tinted or obscured glass does the same (tinted glass is quoted separately). Powder-coated framing finishes the job in a colour that matches the rest of the building.
What glass comes as standard?
6.38 mm clear laminated safety glass, with tinted and performance options, quoted separately, where solar gain or privacy matters.
