Automatic doors Mamelodi: supply, installation and repairs
Automatic sliding, swing and revolving entrances for Mamelodi and east Tshwane: the hospital and clinics, the university campus, shopping centres, schools and public service centres.
Mamelodi is the largest township in east Tshwane, stretching along the Magaliesberg ridge east of the city, with a hospital, a university campus, several shopping centres, many clinics and schools, and commuters travelling to Silverton, Pretoria East and the city every day. Automatic doors Mamelodi buildings use carry heavy public traffic, student flows and month-end crowds.
This page explains what drives the specification for automatic doors Mamelodi 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.
The university campus
The university’s Mamelodi campus brings students in bursts between classes and quiet holidays. Lecture halls, libraries and student centres need wide, robust entrances, card access after hours and accessible routes.
Automatic doors Mamelodi campus buildings use are usually wide sliding doors at the main entrances and swing doors on lecture rooms, with work planned for the holidays. See automatic doors for schools and campuses.
Automatic doors Mamelodi: what we supply, install and repair
People search for this work in different words: automatic doors Mamelodi, automatic sliding doors Mamelodi, automatic glass doors, automatic door installers, automatic door repairs Mamelodi 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.
The hospital and clinics
Mamelodi’s hospital and community clinics serve a very large population, with outpatient queues from early morning. Entrances need hands-free activation, wide openings for wheelchairs and beds, and battery backup.
Malls along the main roads
Mamelodi’s shopping centres sit on the main routes in and out of the township, so they catch commuters on the way home as well as month-end shoppers. The evening peak can be as heavy as the weekend.
Entrances are set with hold-open times that suit the evening rush and lock reliably at closing. See automatic door speed.
Hillside sites
Much of Mamelodi climbs the slopes of the ridge, so many entrances sit on sloping ground with ramps and steps. An automatic sliding door needs a level floor along the full travel of the leaf.
We check the floor at survey; where the slope is too steep, a swing door on the MCW-100 can be the better answer. See sliding vs swing door.
Commuters to Silverton and the east
Many residents work in Silverton and the eastern suburbs, so shops and service points near taxi ranks and stations open early and close late, with dust from the roads.
Robust bi-parting doors with brush seals suit them. See automatic doors Pretoria East.
Load shedding at clinics
A clinic entrance that stops in a power cut either traps patients outside or leaves the building open. Battery backup on the MC-125 keeps it running for a period, and the fail state is agreed with the clinic.
See automatic doors and load shedding.
Nellmapius and Eersterust
Nellmapius and Eersterust nearby add schools, clinics and shopping centres with similar needs: accessible entrances, battery backup on health sites and secure retail.
The systems we install in Mamelodi
Most automatic doors Mamelodi 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.
