More about automatic sliding doors Johannesburg
Understanding automatic sliding doors Johannesburg helps you specify the right entrance the first time. The best results come from matching the operator, sensors and glass to the building and its traffic, then commissioning the door so it opens smoothly and closes safely. Cutting corners on any of these usually costs more later in call-outs and downtime, so it pays to get the specification right at the start.
Every site is a little different, so the automatic sliding doors Johannesburg that suits a busy mall entrance is not the same as a quiet office door. Traffic volume, opening width, safety requirements and the look of the frontage all shape the final choice, which is why a short site assessment is always worth the time before you commit.
Coetz supplies, installs and services automatic doors across South Africa, and we are happy to advise on automatic sliding doors Johannesburg for your project – from a single entrance to a multi-door development, backed by service and genuine spare parts.
Questions about automatic sliding doors in Johannesburg? Call 010 412 0062 or WhatsApp 076 613 4418 and our team will help. Before quoting automatic sliding doors in Johannesburg, we check the opening, the power supply and the traffic, then give a fixed price.
For automatic sliding doors in Johannesburg, MC Automations, our parent company, handles installation and servicing, with installation included in Gauteng. We hold genuine spares locally for automatic sliding doors in Johannesburg, so repairs do not wait on imported parts.
What we check before quoting automatic sliding doors Johannesburg
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 Johannesburg on programme.
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.
Matching the system to the traffic
Count the people, not the doors: one cycle is one open-and-close, so a doorway used by hundreds of people a day is doing far more work than the same doorway in a quiet office. That count, the opening width and the glass weight decide which system suits automatic sliding doors Johannesburg.
- Single sliding for shops, receptions and clinics.
- Bi-parting for malls, supermarkets and hospital corridors — openings up to 5000 mm.
- Telescopic where the wall beside the opening is short.
- Swing operators to automate an existing hinged door.
Is installation available nationwide?
Yes — installation and service cover the country, with a technician on site within 24 hours in Gauteng and within 48 hours elsewhere.
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.
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.
How much work will the door really do?
Traffic is the number that sizes automatic sliding doors Johannesburg. 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.
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.
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.
