Automatic entrance doors Randburg: 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 Randburg. 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 Randburg
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.
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.
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.
Which glass comes as standard?
6.38 mm laminated safety glass, with powder-coated framing in the finish that suits the frontage.
How much work will the door really do?
Traffic is the number that sizes automatic entrance doors Randburg. Count people in and out, then add deliveries, staff movements and trolleys. A quiet reception and a supermarket entrance can look identical on a drawing and behave completely differently in service, which is why the cycle estimate belongs in the specification rather than in the assumptions.
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.
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.
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.
What happens when we report a fault?
We take the symptom over the phone so the right part is loaded, then attend — within 24 hours in Gauteng and within 48 hours elsewhere.
