Automatic doors Vosloorus: supply, installation and repairs
Automatic sliding, swing and hermetic entrances for Vosloorus, Dawn Park and Windmill Park: a regional hospital, shopping centres, clinics, schools and government offices.
Vosloorus lies south of Boksburg on the East Rand, with a large regional hospital, shopping centres, clinics, schools and government offices, and Dawn Park and Windmill Park next door. The hospital sets the highest standard, so automatic doors Vosloorus buildings use must be hands-free and keep working through power cuts.
This page explains what drives the specification for automatic doors Vosloorus 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 regional hospital
A large regional hospital has casualty, maternity, outpatient and main entrances that never close, with theatres inside.
In Vosloorus, MC Automations supplies, installs and services automatic doors for commercial buildings, from commercial automatic doors and automatic glass doors to the automatic door operators that drive them.

Accessible entrances in Vosloorus
An automatic door is the simplest way to make an entrance usable for a wheelchair user, a parent with a pram or someone carrying stock. Opening width, opening speed, hold-open time and the sensor field are set on site for the people who actually use the door, and push buttons can be added where a door should only open on request. See automatic doors for disabled access.
Common faults on automatic doors Vosloorus
Wear on hospital doors that never close, and beds and trolleys knocking sensors. See automatic door repairs.
Most faults are cleared on the first visit because our technicians carry common spares. Where a door is beyond economic repair, we quote a new operator on the existing leaves first, before a full replacement. See automatic door lifespan.
Working on site in Vosloorus
Hospital work is planned with facilities and infection control. Every job starts with a safe-work method, and the doorway is barricaded while it is open.
Servicing automatic doors Vosloorus
Hospital entrances are serviced against cycles, often quarterly; offices on our six-month standard.
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.

Automatic doors Vosloorus by building type
The buildings in Vosloorus set the specification more than anything else. These are the starting points we use for each type, before every doorway is confirmed on site.
Healthcare entrances in Vosloorus
Healthcare buildings need hands-free entry for patients in wheelchairs, on crutches and on stretchers, and doors that never trap anyone. For automatic doors Vosloorus clinics and hospitals use, we set slow closing speeds, long hold-open times and a wide sensor field, fit battery backup so the entrance keeps working through load shedding, and use hermetically sealed doors where theatres or isolation rooms need an air seal.
Retail entrances in Vosloorus
Shop and centre entrances are judged on two things: they must never stop trading, and they must lock tight at closing. For automatic doors Vosloorus retailers use, we fit bi-parting sliding doors with a wide clear opening for trolleys and prams, a night lock that throws automatically when the centre closes, and sensors set so that people walking past the shopfront do not keep opening the door and letting the air-conditioning out. Busy entrances get a service interval based on cycles, not months.
Office receptions in Vosloorus
An office reception sees staff, visitors and couriers all day and needs to stay controlled. Automatic doors Vosloorus offices use are normally sliding doors linked to the building’s card, tag or biometric readers, with a free-entry mode in office hours and controlled entry after hours. The door releases on the fire signal, and it can be set to stay locked during a panic event while still allowing escape from inside.
Schools, churches and halls in Vosloorus
Schools, churches and halls move large numbers of people in a few minutes and then need the entrance controlled. Automatic doors Vosloorus schools and halls use are usually swing doors with push buttons on halls and classrooms, so staff decide when a door opens, and sliding doors at reception linked to the visitor system.
Public and government buildings in Vosloorus
Public buildings serve queues, people of every ability and, often, security screening at the door. Automatic doors Vosloorus public buildings use are accessible sliding doors, interlocked lobbies where screening is required, and access control that takes over after hours.
How we deal with conditions in Vosloorus
The four things that wear an entrance in Vosloorus are shown in the first diagram. This is what we do about each of them on automatic doors Vosloorus.
| Condition in Vosloorus | What we do |
|---|---|
| Never closed | Doors that never rest get a heavier service schedule, a battery backup and spares held at Laser Park for the parts that wear first. |
| Infection control | Hands-free sensors remove a touch point, and hermetically sealed doors hold air pressure where theatres, laboratories or clean rooms require it. |
| Month-end queues | A busy entrance can cycle several thousand times a day. We size the operator for the real count, set opening speed for the peak, and service against cycles so wear is caught before it causes a breakdown. |
| Power cuts | Battery backup keeps a door working through load shedding, and every entrance gets a defined power-failure behaviour, open or closed, agreed with the building and its fire strategy. |
Sliding, swing or revolving: choosing automatic doors Vosloorus
Most entrances in Vosloorus are one of three types. The right one depends on the opening, the traffic and the people who use the door.
| Door type | Best for | Operator |
|---|---|---|
| Sliding (single or bi-parting) | Busy main entrances, malls, hospitals, offices | MC-125 |
| Telescopic sliding | Wide openings where the wall space is short | MC-125 telescopic |
| Swing | Corridors, toilets, existing doors, low traffic | MCW-100 |
| Revolving | Tall or windy lobbies, energy saving | Revolving system |
| Hermetic sliding | Theatres, laboratories, clean rooms | Hermetic system |
Sliding doors move the most people and suit most automatic doors Vosloorus main entrances. Swing doors suit narrow openings and existing doors. Revolving doors keep wind and heat loss out of a lobby but always need a swing door beside them for wheelchairs and goods. See automatic sliding doors, automatic swing doors and automatic revolving doors.

- Installation. Our own team installs the operator and leaves, usually in a day for a standard entrance, keeping one door working where possible.
- Commissioning. Speeds, hold-open times, sensors and locking are set for the users, and the safety sensors are tested.
- Handover and service plan. You get a record of the settings and a service interval based on how busy the door is.

Maintaining automatic doors Vosloorus
An automatic door is a machine that opens and closes thousands of times a week. Regular servicing keeps it safe and avoids most breakdowns. On every service of automatic doors Vosloorus we:
- Clean and check the track, rollers and guides.
- Check the belt, motor, gearbox and controller.
- Test the activation and safety sensors, and re-aim them if needed.
- Check the locking, the battery backup and the power-failure behaviour.
- Record the cycle count and the settings, and report anything that needs attention.
See the automatic door maintenance checklist and automatic door servicing.
Safety settings on automatic doors Vosloorus
Safety sensors stop or reverse a door before it touches anyone, and the opening and closing forces are limited. We set and test these on commissioning and on every visit, and we can add signage and markings so that people can see the glass. See automatic door signage.

The door releases on the fire signal and can be set to lock during a panic event while still letting people out. See automatic door access control and automatic door security.
Power failures and fire release
Every automatic doors Vosloorus entrance is commissioned with a defined behaviour for a power failure and for a fire alarm: open and stay open, close and lock, or keep running on battery backup. The choice is agreed with the building owner and its fire strategy and recorded at handover, then tested on every service. See automatic door power.
