Automatic doors Kempton Park: supply, installation and repairs
Automatic sliding, swing and revolving pedestrian entrances for the OR Tambo airport precinct, logistics and industrial parks in Isando, Spartan and Jet Park, hotels, retail and offices. Installed, commissioned and repaired by our own technicians.
Kempton Park and the corridor around OR Tambo International are dense with logistics, light industry, hotels and airport-related buildings. Many of them never close. Automatic doors Kempton Park buildings use therefore run more cycles, at more hours of the day, in harsher conditions than a typical office entrance.
This page explains what drives the specification for automatic doors Kempton Park and the wider East Rand need, and what to send us for a quotation. Places named here describe the area. They are not a client list.
Airport precinct and hotels
Buildings around the airport serve travellers with luggage, trolleys and tight timelines at every hour. Automatic doors Kempton Park hotels and airport-related buildings run need wide openings, long enough hold-open times for luggage trolleys, and doors that keep working through the night.
Airports and their surrounding buildings also bring security and access requirements. We work on landside and airside pedestrian entrances, with security requirements agreed with the operator of the site. Our guide to airport automatic doors covers terminals and controlled areas, and hotel automatic doors covers lobbies and back of house.
Automatic doors Kempton Park: what we supply, install and repair
People search for this work in different words: automatic doors Kempton Park, automatic sliding doors Kempton Park, automatic glass doors, automatic door installers, automatic door repairs Kempton Park 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.
Logistics and industrial parks
Isando, Spartan, Jet Park, Pomona and the surrounding industrial areas are full of warehouses and distribution centres. We do pedestrian entrances only, so on these sites we automate staff, visitor, office and canteen entrances, not loading-bay doors or roller shutters.
Those entrances see sharp peaks at shift change, dust from yards and trucks, impact from trolleys and pallet jacks, and doors that are propped open in summer. They are specified with robust running gear, sensors placed away from the worst dust, impact protection where trolleys pass and service intervals set on cycles. See automatic warehouse doors.
Round-the-clock duty
An office door may complete a few hundred cycles a day. A logistics canteen door or a hotel entrance in the airport corridor can complete thousands, every day of the year. Wear follows cycles, not the calendar, so automatic doors Kempton Park sites run reach their service points far sooner than the same door in a quiet building.
The MC-125 and MCW-100 are tested to one million operating cycles, and our guide to automatic door lifespan shows how quickly a busy entrance reaches that figure. As standard we service every six months, and high-traffic entrances here are usually serviced more often.
Retail, offices and the wider East Rand
Away from the airport and industrial parks, Kempton Park has shopping centres, offices, clinics and the Emperors Palace entertainment precinct, and the wider East Rand adds Boksburg, Benoni, Germiston and Edenvale. Those entrances follow the usual pattern: retail wants throughput and secure closing, offices want access control, and clinics want hands-free, accessible doors.
One service arrangement can cover a mixed estate across the East Rand and the rest of Gauteng. See our service level agreement.
Staff entrances and security
Logistics and airport-related sites control who comes and goes. Staff entrances often have card readers, turnstiles behind the door and, on some sites, a search area, so the automatic door has to work with security rather than around it.
We wire the operator, the lock and the access control together, and where two doors form a controlled lobby the MC-125 can interlock them so only one opens at a time. The site’s security team signs off the behaviour before handover.
The systems we install in Kempton Park
Most automatic doors Kempton Park 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.
Choosing the right entrance in Kempton Park
Around Kempton Park the choice is driven by duty and by trolleys. Hotel and airport-related entrances need wide bi-parting sliding doors with long hold-open times for luggage. Logistics staff and canteen entrances need robust sliding or swing doors placed away from forklift routes, with impact protection where pallet jacks pass.
Controlled staff entrances often need two doors interlocked so only one opens at a time, which the MC-125 supports.
Common faults on automatic doors Kempton Park
High cycle counts are the main cause of faults here. Rollers, belts and floor guides reach the end of their life far sooner on a round-the-clock entrance. Dust from yards and trucks clouds sensors, and impact from trolleys knocks leaves out of line.
On airport-precinct and hotel entrances the commonest complaint is a door closing too soon on someone pushing a loaded trolley, which is fixed by the hold-open time and sensing, not by a new operator. See automatic door speed.
Working on site in Kempton Park
Airport-precinct sites and many logistics parks have strict access rules: security clearance or escort, site inductions, PPE and set working hours. We arrange those with the site before the job is booked, and our technicians carry the documentation the site asks for.
Round-the-clock entrances cannot simply be closed for a day. Work is phased, with one leaf or one door of a pair kept running where the design allows, or a temporary entrance agreed with the site. The new or repaired door is commissioned and handed over with its settings written down before the old arrangement is removed.
Servicing automatic doors Kempton Park
Round-the-clock entrances in Kempton Park can reach their service points in weeks rather than months. Six months is our standard interval, and busy logistics, hotel and airport-precinct doors are usually seen more often, on a schedule set from the cycle counter.
Every visit ends with a written record, and several doors or buildings can sit under one service level agreement. Safety settings are re-checked on every visit; see automatic door safety requirements and the South African Bureau of Standards.
