Frequently asked questions
Do you install automatic sliding doors in Brakpan?
Yes. Coetz supplies and installs automatic sliding doors Brakpan wide and across the East Rand, including Benoni, Boksburg, Springs and Kempton Park, with installation and service arranged by our Gauteng team.
What do automatic sliding doors cost in Brakpan?
Cost varies with opening size, the glass and the sensors. We quote a fixed price after a quick site measure — contact us for a figure specific to your entrance.
Will the door work during load-shedding?
With the optional battery backup the operator keeps working through a power cut, and the door can be moved by hand if needed, so people are never trapped. For background, see this automatic door overview.
Can you automate an existing sliding door?
Often, yes. If the frame and track are sound we can fit an operator and sensors; otherwise we supply a new purpose-built automatic sliding door.

Which door type suits the opening
Traffic and wall space decide the layout for automatic sliding doors Brakpan. 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 sliding doors Brakpan
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 sliding doors Brakpan 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 sliding doors Brakpan 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.
Do automatic doors work during load-shedding?
Only if that was specified. A battery backup keeps the door operating through a slot; without one, the door should be set to fail open or fail secure, with a manual release staff know how to use.
What warranty applies to the operator?
The MC-125 and MCW-100 carry a 2-year manufacturer warranty. Wear items such as belts, rollers and guides are replaced as part of servicing rather than under warranty.
How much work will the door really do?
Traffic is the number that sizes automatic sliding doors Brakpan. 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.
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 sliding doors Brakpan 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.
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.
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.
Can the hold-open time be changed?
Yes — it is adjustable at commissioning and afterwards, which is how sites run a longer hold during deliveries and a shorter one at quiet times.
