Automatic doors Klerksdorp: supply, installation and repairs
Automatic sliding, swing and revolving entrances for Klerksdorp, Orkney, Stilfontein and Matlosana: mining offices, shopping centres, hospitals, schools and public buildings.
Klerksdorp is the commercial centre of the Matlosana goldfields, with mining towns such as Orkney and Stilfontein around it, regional shopping centres, hospitals, schools and municipal buildings. Mine dumps and dry winters put fine dust into the air, summers are hot, and storms bring power dips. Automatic doors Klerksdorp buildings use need to deal with dust, heat and heavy regional traffic.
This page explains what drives the specification for automatic doors Klerksdorp needs, how we support it, and what to send us for a quotation. Places named here describe the area. They are not a client list.
Mine-dump dust
Wind off mine dumps and dry fields carries very fine dust that coats sensor lenses and fills floor guides. A door that opens for nobody or refuses to close is often just a dirty sensor or a gritty track.
Automatic doors Klerksdorp sites use are specified with brush seals, sensibly placed sensors and thresholds that are easy to clean, and serviced more often than a clean urban site. See automatic door sensors.
Automatic doors Klerksdorp: what we supply, install and repair
People search for this work in different words: automatic doors Klerksdorp, automatic sliding doors Klerksdorp, automatic glass doors, automatic door installers, automatic door repairs Klerksdorp 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.
Mining offices and change houses
Mine offices, training centres, canteens and change houses see shift traffic in bursts, with people in boots carrying equipment. Robust sliding doors with wide openings and kick protection at the bottom of the leaf suit them.
We automate pedestrian entrances only; vehicle and equipment openings stay with the appropriate trade.
Regional retail
Klerksdorp’s shopping centres serve a large part of the North West and parts of the Free State, so they are at full stretch at month-end. Mall entrances need wide bi-parting doors that keep up and stay secure at night.
See shopping centre automatic doors.
Hospitals and public buildings
Hospitals, clinics and municipal offices in Matlosana carry heavy public traffic. They need accessible, hands-free entrances, battery backup and access control after hours.
See automatic doors for disabled access.
Schools and churches
Schools and churches in Matlosana need accessible entrances with staff control. Swing doors with push buttons often suit them.
See automatic door push button.
Monthly cleaning between visits
On mine-dump dust, a door can foul faster than any service interval. A five-minute clean of the sensor lenses and the floor guide by site staff once a month prevents many of the call-outs we would otherwise make.
We show staff what to clean, and what not to touch, at handover. See automatic door maintenance checklist.
Older buildings and modernising
Much of the commercial building stock in Matlosana dates from the boom years of the mines. Older automatic doors here are often from brands with hard-to-find parts, while the leaves and track are still sound.
Replacing only the operator, sensors and controls is usually the sensible route. See automatic door modernisation.
The systems we install in Klerksdorp
Most automatic doors Klerksdorp 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.

Mining offices get robust sliding doors. Malls get bi-parting sliding doors. Hospitals and public buildings get hands-free sliding doors with battery backup and access control.
