Automatic doors near me: why distance matters
An automatic door that stops working closes an entrance. The nearer the team and the spares, the faster it opens again. Because our workshop and stock are in Gauteng, most breakdowns near me in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Ekurhuleni can be attended the same day, and most faults are cleared on the first visit.

Repairs
See automatic door repairs near me.
We repair automatic doors of any brand: sliding, swing, telescopic and revolving. Common faults are sensors out of line, worn rollers and belts, failed controllers and doors that will not lock. Our technicians carry the common spares, so most repairs are finished on the first visit. Where an old operator is beyond economic repair, we quote a new MC-125 or MCW-100 on the existing leaves first. See automatic door repairs and automatic door troubleshooting.
Sliding doors
See automatic sliding doors near me.
Most busy entrances near me are sliding doors: bi-parting for malls and hospitals, single for shops and offices, telescopic where the wall is short. Our MC-125 sliding door operator starts from R27 590 excluding VAT, imported and assembled at Laser Park and tested to one million cycles. See automatic sliding doors.
Automatic swing doors near me
Swing doors suit narrow openings, corridors, toilets and existing doors. The MCW-100 swing door operator starts from R15 900 excluding VAT and can often be fitted to the door you already have. See automatic swing doors.
Installers
See automatic door installation near me.
Our own technicians install, commission and service every door. We do not sub-contract the work, so the people who fit your door are the people who service it.
Servicing
See automatic door servicing near me.
Servicing keeps a door safe and prevents most breakdowns. Average doors are serviced every six months; busy, dusty and hospital entrances more often, based on the cycle count. Several doors and buildings can sit under one service level agreement, with a written record per door. See automatic door servicing.
Which automatic doors near me suit my building?
- Shopping centres and shops: bi-parting sliding doors, secure after hours.
- Offices: sliding doors with access control.
- Hospitals and clinics: hands-free sliding doors with battery backup, hermetic doors for theatres.
- Hotels: wide sliding or revolving doors.
- Factories and warehouses: robust staff entrances on pedestrian routes.
- Schools and churches: swing doors with push buttons.
We do pedestrian entrances only: no garage doors, gates, roller shutters, door closers or private homes.
Automatic doors near me: prices
The MC-125 sliding door operator starts from R27 590 excluding VAT and the MCW-100 swing door operator from R15 900 excluding VAT. The finished price of automatic doors near me depends on the leaves, glass, header, sensors, locking and access control, and every site gets a written quotation. See our automatic door prices guide.
How to get automatic doors near me quoted
Send us a photograph of the doorway, a photograph of the header, the clear opening width and height, who uses the door and your address. A quotation usually follows within two working days of a site visit or a full set of photographs.
Request a quote or call 010 412 0062, Monday to Thursday 08:00 to 16:30 and Friday 08:00 to 14:00.
The doors we install
Sliding doors
Single and bi-parting sliding doors are the workhorse of commercial entrances. They move the most people, open fully without swinging into anyone and suit malls, hospitals, offices and shops. Our MC-125 operator drives leaves of glass, aluminium or timber, with sensors, locking and battery backup chosen per door.
Telescopic sliding doors
Where the wall beside an opening is short, telescopic doors stack two leaves on each side so the clear opening stays wide. They suit narrow shopfronts and refurbishments.
Swing doors
Swing doors suit corridors, toilets, back-of-house routes and existing doors. The MCW-100 operator can usually be fitted to a sound door, with push buttons where the door should only open on request.
Revolving doors
Revolving doors keep wind, dust and heat loss out of a lobby and suit tall office towers and hotels. They are always installed with a swing door beside them for wheelchairs, prams and goods. See automatic revolving doors.
Hermetic doors
Hermetically sealed sliding doors hold air pressure and keep theatres, isolation rooms, laboratories and clean rooms sealed. See hermetic doors.
What happens when you call us
- We ask four questions: where the building is, what the door is, what it is doing and how urgent it is.
- We book the right technician with the right spares, based on the make of the operator.
- On site, the technician makes the entrance safe first, finds the fault and repairs it where possible on the same visit.
- You get a written report of what was found, what was done and anything that still needs attention.
- If parts are needed, we quote them in writing and return to fit them, keeping the entrance safe in the meantime.
Power cuts and load shedding
Every entrance we commission gets a defined behaviour for a power failure: open and stay open, close and lock, or keep running on battery backup. The choice is agreed with the building and its fire strategy and tested on every service visit. See automatic doors and load shedding.
Access control and security
Doors can be linked to card, tag, biometric, keypad or intercom readers, to timers for trading hours and to the alarm, and two doors can be interlocked where screening is required. See automatic door access control.
Accessible entrances
An automatic door is the simplest way to make an entrance usable for wheelchair users, parents with prams and people carrying goods. Speed, hold-open time and the sensor field are set on site for the people who use the door. See automatic doors for disabled access.

Keeping a door safe
Safety sensors stop or reverse a door before it touches anyone, and opening and closing forces are limited. We set these on commissioning, test them on every service and can add signage and glass markings. See automatic door safety requirements and automatic door maintenance checklist.
Typical attendance by area
These are typical, not promises. Response for each site is agreed in writing, based on what a failed entrance costs the building.
| Area | Typical breakdown attendance | Planned servicing |
|---|---|---|
| Roodepoort, Randburg, West Rand | Same day, often within hours | Any weekday |
| Johannesburg, Sandton, Midrand, Fourways | Same day where possible | Any weekday |
| Pretoria and Centurion | Same day where possible | Grouped by area |
| East Rand and the airport | Same day where possible | Grouped by area |
| The Vaal and southern Gauteng | Same or next day | Grouped by area |
| Other provinces | Agreed in writing per site | Planned visits, batched |
Before the technician arrives
- Switch the door to manual or open mode if it is safe to do so, and keep people away from a door that is moving erratically.
- Note what the door is doing: not opening, not closing, stopping halfway, reversing, making a noise or showing a light on the controller.
- Check that the power and the key switch are on, and that nothing is blocking the track or the sensors.
- Take a photograph of the door and the operator label if you can see it, and send it with your call.
See automatic door not opening for the most common faults and what they usually mean.
Planning automatic doors for a new building
On a new building, the best time to involve us is before the shopfront or the entrance is ordered. The header needs a fixing above the opening, the floor needs to be level for sliding leaves, and a power point and a cable route for access control need to be planned. Getting these right on the drawings avoids cutting and patching later. We can supply drawings and specifications for the architect and the shopfitter; see our automatic door CAD drawings and automatic door specification guide.
Replacing an old automatic door
Many entrances in Gauteng were automated fifteen or twenty years ago and the original operators are now hard to repair. In most cases the leaves, the glass and the frame are still sound, and a new operator can be fitted to them in a day, at a fraction of the cost of a new entrance. The new operator comes with new sensors, a new controller and a 24-month warranty, and the door can be connected to the building’s current access control at the same time. See automatic door modernisation.
One supplier for several sites
Groups with shops, clinics or offices in several suburbs or provinces can put every door under one agreement, with one asset register, one service schedule and one point of contact. Standardising on one operator family across the estate means one spares list and technicians who know the unit wherever they attend.
