Decorative stainless-steel automatic entrance with sliding glass leaves

AUTOMATIC DOOR SYSTEMS

Automatic doors planned around the opening, leaf and control interfaces

Plan sliding and swing automatic doors by opening dimensions, leaf data, sensors, access control, safety interfaces, installation conditions and acceptance tests.

Prepare a project inquiry

Direct answer

An automatic door is selected as a complete entrance system, not as a motor attached to any door leaf. Confirm the opening geometry, leaf construction, travel path, traffic, sensors, access-control logic, safety devices, header space and finishing conditions before choosing the operator. Final capacity and compatibility must follow the quoted model documents.

Start with the door layout

Record the structural opening width and height, required clear opening, number of moving leaves, fixed side panels, opening direction and available storage space. A single sliding leaf, bi-parting pair, telescopic arrangement and swing leaf use different geometry even when the clear passage looks similar.

Measure the header, ceiling, side pocket, floor level and nearby walls. Identify glass, framed, timber, metal or composite leaves and note the estimated finished mass rather than the bare-panel mass. Handles, decorative cladding and seals change the final load.

Separate activation, safety and access control

Activation devices request an opening; safety devices monitor the travel or threshold; access-control devices decide who may enter. These functions should not be treated as one sensor. A project may combine radar or presence sensing, safety beams, push buttons, card readers, face terminals, electric locks and a fire signal.

Write the required behavior for normal entry, authorized entry, exit, hold-open, locked mode, fire alarm, power loss and manual release. The controller interface must be checked against that sequence before wiring starts.

Installation interfaces that affect reliability

Interface	Confirm before installation	Acceptance evidence
Support	Header strength, fixing points, level and access for service	Fixing record and alignment check
Door leaf	Finished mass, hangers, bottom guide and edge details	Leaf data and full-travel test
Electrical	Supply, isolation, cable routes and earthing interface	Wiring record and functional test
Finishes	Covers, glass, frames, ceiling closure and protection	Visual inspection and snag list

Commissioning is a sequence, not a speed setting

First move the leaf manually where the equipment permits and check for rubbing, uneven guides or blocked travel. Then verify the mechanical installation, controller wiring and sensor zones. Run learning or setup procedures for the actual model, test low-risk operation, and only then confirm the required opening and closing behavior.

Acceptance should cover repeated cycles, approach from different directions, threshold occupancy, obstruction response, lock release, selected operating modes and power-loss recovery. Record the model, settings and any site-specific limitation.

Questions buyers ask

Which is better, a sliding or swing automatic door?

Neither is universally better. Sliding doors suit openings with side storage space and predictable lateral travel. Swing operators may suit an existing hinged leaf or a layout without a sliding pocket. Traffic, wind, leaf data and safety zones decide the fit.

Can an existing glass door be automated?

It can be assessed, but the leaf, frame, pivots or rollers, clearances, structural support, handles, locks and safety zones must be checked. The existing door should not be assumed suitable from photographs alone.

What should be tested before handover?

Test full travel, repeated cycles, activation, presence and safety sensing, obstruction behavior, operating modes, access control, lock release, manual release and power-loss recovery as applicable to the confirmed design.

Does this page specify a universal door weight limit?

No. Capacity belongs to a specific operator, configuration, leaf and test condition. Submit the actual finished leaf data and obtain a model-specific selection statement.
