What are automatic sliding doors?
Automatic sliding doors use an overhead operator, motion sensors and a controller to slide glass panels open as people approach and close them again behind. Set up to recognised automatic door technology safety principles, they open hands-free and close safely – improving accessibility and keeping conditioned air inside.

Questions about automatic sliding doors in Centurion? Call 010 412 0062 or WhatsApp 076 613 4418 and our team will help. Before quoting automatic sliding doors in Centurion, we check the opening, the power supply and the traffic, then give a fixed price.
What to expect from Coetz Glazing
Every project starts with a free site measure so we can confirm the opening, the power supply and the traffic flow before quoting a fixed price. There are no surprises later.
We manufacture the aluminium frame to size, glaze it with 6.38mm laminated safety glass as standard, and powder-coat it in the colour that suits the building. Our own installers handle the fit and commissioning.
Because Coetz supplies, installs and services what we sell, there is one accountable team from quote to aftercare. We also stock the operators, sensors and spares we fit, so maintenance and repairs are fast and local.
Servicing, spares and call-outs
We recommend a professional service every six months, with more frequent visits for very busy entrances such as malls. A visit checks and realigns the sensors, inspects the belt, rollers and guides, re-checks opening and closing force, and replaces wear parts before they strand the door. Wear items are replaced as part of servicing rather than under warranty.
We stock the operators, sensors, drive belts and control boards we fit, so a repair does not wait on an imported part. Automatic doors are installed and serviced nationwide, with call-outs within 24 hours in Gauteng.
How automatic sliding doors Centurion 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.
How the safety side actually works
Two sensor types work together on automatic sliding doors Centurion: 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.
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.
Do you work outside Gauteng?
Yes. Automatic doors are supplied, installed and serviced nationwide, with call-outs within 24 hours in Gauteng.
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.
Reading the symptoms
Most faults on automatic sliding doors Centurion are diagnosable before anybody arrives. A door held permanently open is usually a sensor fault or something moving in its detection zone. A door that reverses halfway is reacting to an obstruction or a tight force setting. Noise from the track points to rollers or guides. Telling us the symptom on the phone means the right part is on the van.
Glass, frames and finishes
Standard glazing is 6.38 mm clear laminated safety glass, which holds together if it is ever broken and takes the edge off outside noise. Tinted and performance glass are available, quoted separately, where solar gain or privacy matters, and toughened glass suits frameless and low-level applications. The framing is powder-coated in the colour that suits the building, so an entrance reads as part of the frontage rather than something bolted on afterwards.
How quickly can a fault be attended?
Gauteng call-outs are attended within 24 hours, and service runs nationwide. Telling us the symptom when you call means the right spare travels with the technician.
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.
