Most powered entrances fall into a few types. Sliding units handle the highest foot traffic; swing operators automate hinged doors; telescopic doors give a wide clear opening in a narrow wall; and heavy-duty commercial doors are built for constant public use.
- Automatic sliding doors – the everyday shopfront and mall choice.
- Automatic swing doors – a cost-effective upgrade for offices and hinged doors.
- Telescopic sliding doors – a wide opening within a tight wall.
- Bi-parting commercial doors – hospitals, malls and campuses.
The right choice balances traffic, opening width, safety and the look of the frontage. See our full automatic sliding doors guide for how the technology works.
Why East London chooses door automation
East London is a coastal city, and humid, salt-laden air is hard on hardware. Quality door automation for Buffalo City uses corrosion-resistant aluminium framing, sealed operators and stainless fixings so the entrance keeps working by the sea. Automation also improves accessibility, keeps conditioned air inside, and adds a professional, hands-free welcome for retail, offices and the busy automotive and port sectors.

Tips for a smooth project
Confirm the power supply and opening size early, and add battery backup so the door works through load-shedding. Ask about warranty on the operator, whether a service plan is included, and how quickly call-outs are answered in your area. Because of the coastal salt air, choose corrosion-resistant hardware and a sealed operator from the start – it costs a little more up front and saves a lot in call-outs.

We match the operator, sensors and glass to your traffic and building, install to standard, and back every entrance with service and genuine spare parts – so the door keeps working long after the invoice is paid.
