Automatic doors Alberton: supply, installation and repairs
Automatic sliding, swing and revolving entrances for Alberton, Alrode and New Redruth: industrial and logistics offices, shopping centres, private hospitals, retirement villages and frail care, and offices.
Alberton sits south of Johannesburg and Germiston, with the large Alrode industrial area on one side and established suburbs, shopping centres, a private hospital and many retirement villages on the other. Industry brings dust and shift traffic; the retirement population brings users who need gentle, predictable doors. Automatic doors Alberton buildings use have to serve both.
This page explains what drives the specification for automatic doors Alberton needs, how we support it from Laser Park, and what to send us for a quotation. Places named here describe the area. They are not a client list.
Alrode industry
Alrode is one of the biggest industrial areas in the south of Gauteng, with manufacturing, engineering and logistics. Office blocks, staff entrances, canteens and change rooms see shift traffic, forklifts and dust.
Automatic doors Alberton industrial sites use are robust sliding or swing doors with brush seals and access control. We automate pedestrian entrances only. See automatic warehouse doors.
Automatic doors Alberton: what we supply, install and repair
People search for this work in different words: automatic doors Alberton, automatic sliding doors Alberton, automatic glass doors, automatic door installers, automatic door repairs Alberton or door automation. It is the same team and the same operators either way, with 24 months on the operator.
We supply and install sliding, telescopic, swing, revolving and hermetic doors, carry out repairs on any brand and service entrances on a planned cycle. Pedestrian entrances only: no garage doors, gates, roller shutters, door closers or private homes.
Retirement villages and frail care
Alberton has many retirement villages and frail-care centres. Residents use walking frames, wheelchairs and scooters, and need doors that open fully, close slowly and hold open while someone is in the way.
Slow, gentle settings and controlled exits where residents need supervision are the usual specification. See automatic doors for retirement homes.
Malls and retail
Shopping centres in Alberton and New Redruth serve the south-east, with month-end and weekend peaks. Mall entrances need wide bi-parting doors that keep up and stay secure at night.
See shopping centre automatic doors.
Private hospital and clinics
The private hospital and clinics need hands-free entrances, wide openings and battery backup through load shedding.
Offices and practices
Offices, medical suites and professional practices in Alberton want access control, a tidy reception and slow, gentle doors for patients.
Controlled exits in frail care
Frail-care and dementia units need exits that let staff and visitors through but stop residents leaving unsupervised, while still opening for escape where the fire strategy requires it.
We set this up with the care team and the fire consultant. See automatic door safety requirements.
Katlehong and Thokoza
Katlehong and Thokoza, east of Alberton, have shopping centres, clinics, schools and community buildings with heavy traffic and month-end peaks.
Wide bi-parting doors on retail and hands-free doors with battery backup on clinics suit them. See shopping centre automatic doors.
The systems we install in Alberton
Most automatic doors Alberton buildings need come down to two operators, both imported and assembled at Laser Park and tested to one million operating cycles: the MC-125 sliding door operator, supplied from R27 590 excluding VAT, and the MCW-100 swing door operator, supplied from R15 900 excluding VAT, as published on our sister company Coetz.
The finished price depends on the leaves, glass, header, sensors, locking and access control, all quoted per site. See our automatic door prices guide and sliding vs swing door guide.
Every entrance also gets a defined power-failure behaviour, agreed with the building and its fire strategy; see automatic doors and load shedding.
