Automatic sliding doors Durban: the MC-125 system
The MC-125 is a microprocessor-controlled automatic sliding door built for busy Durban entrances. It runs on a quiet brushless motor, carries single or double glass leaves, and pairs with sensors, access control and electric locks. Key features include automatic and manual adjustment, wide-voltage operation, two-door interlocking and optional battery backup for load-shedding. See the full automatic sliding doors guide for how the technology works.
Where automatic sliding doors Durban are used
Across Durban, automatic sliding doors are fitted at shopfronts, malls, offices, clinics, hotels and reception areas — anywhere a smooth, hands-free arrival matters and foot traffic is constant. Retailers use them to keep trolleys moving; clinics and offices rely on touch-free, accessible access. Each entrance is specified to its real traffic rather than a one-size kit.
Sensors, safety and glass on automatic sliding doors
Every automatic sliding door is set up with safety detection, adjustable open, close and hold-open timing, and an emergency-stop function, commissioned to suit the doorway. Glazing is safety glass selected for a public entrance, in line with South African glazing practice (see SAGGA). Safety functions are set during commissioning and verified through regular service.

Frequently asked questions
Do you install automatic sliding doors in Durban?
Yes. Coetz supplies the MC-125 and MC Automations Entrance Systems installs, commissions and services automatic sliding doors across Durban and KwaZulu-Natal.

With the optional backup battery the MC-125 keeps operating through a power cut, and it can be moved by hand if needed, so people are never trapped.

Pricing depends on the opening, glass, sensors, access control and installation. Send your opening details for an itemised, project-specific quote.

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 Durban 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.
Which door type suits the opening
Traffic and wall space decide the layout for automatic sliding doors Durban. 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 Durban
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 Durban on programme.
Do you work outside Gauteng?
Yes. Automatic doors are supplied, installed and serviced nationwide, with call-outs within 24 hours in Gauteng.
What lifespan should I expect?
Cycles matter more than years. The MC-125 is tested to one million operating cycles; how long that lasts depends on the traffic the doorway carries and whether it is serviced on interval.
How much work will the door really do?
Traffic is the number that sizes automatic sliding doors Durban. 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.
Accessibility and everyday use
A powered entrance is the most reliable way to make a doorway usable by somebody with a pram, a wheelchair, crutches or an armful of shopping. Hold-open time is set so that a slower user is through before the door begins to close, and presence detection keeps it open for anyone who stops in the opening. Those settings are chosen for the people who actually use the building rather than left at factory defaults.
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 access control be added later?
It can, but cabling into a finished ceiling costs more than specifying it with the door. Readers, push buttons, intercoms and time clocks are all straightforward at installation stage.
