Automatic sliding doors Sandton: the MC-125 system
The MC-125 is a microprocessor-controlled automatic sliding door built for busy Sandton 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 Sandton are used
Across Sandton, 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.

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 Sandton 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 Sandton: 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.
What glass is used?
6.38 mm laminated safety glass as standard, with the framing powder-coated to suit the building.
Do you work outside Gauteng?
Yes. Automatic doors are supplied, installed and serviced nationwide, with call-outs within 24 hours in Gauteng.
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.
Retrofit or new installation
Automating an opening that already exists is usually possible, and it is often the cheaper route. The questions are whether the head can carry an operator, whether the opening is square enough to run true, and whether power can reach the header. Where a hinged door is staying, a swing operator automates it; where the frontage is being replaced anyway, a new sliding installation is generally the better long-term answer.
When something goes wrong
Describe what the door is doing and a technician can usually name the cause before travelling: held open points to sensors or a detection zone problem, reversing points to an obstruction or force limit, and noise points to rollers, belt or guides. Because the operators, sensors, belts and control boards we fit are held in stock, most of those are fixed on the first visit.
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.
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.
