Automatic Sliding Doors in Dubai

Merac Dubai supplies and installs automatic sliding door systems for offices, retail units, healthcare facilities, hotels, and residential towers across Dubai and the UAE. We're an authorized dealer for Portalp (France) and Gilgen (Switzerland), and also supply and install GEZE and Dorma (Germany) sliding door operators — genuine, manufacturer-warrantied products installed and maintained by our SIRA-certified technical team.

Why Automatic Sliding Doors Matter in Dubai's Climate

Dubai's heat, humidity, and dust put real demands on entrance doors. Fast, reliable automatic operators reduce the time entrances stay open — cutting cooling loss in air-conditioned lobbies, retail floors, and hospital entrances, and keeping dust out of high-traffic commercial spaces. Sensor-based automatic sliding doors also support accessibility (hands-free entry for wheelchair users, deliveries, and high foot-traffic buildings) and can integrate with access control and fire alarm systems where required.

Supply, Installation & AMC

We handle the full lifecycle — supply, professional installation, commissioning, spare parts, and ongoing maintenance through an Annual Maintenance Contract. A large portion of our AMC portfolio is automatic sliding doors we service across Dubai and the UAE, whether we originally supplied them or not.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you install automatic doors, or just supply them?

Both. We supply, install, commission, and provide after-sales service and AMC support — you don't need a separate contractor for installation.

Which brands of automatic doors do you carry?

We're an authorized dealer for Portalp and Gilgen, and also supply and install GEZE and Dorma sliding door operators, all with manufacturer warranty.

Can automatic sliding doors handle Dubai's heat and dust?

Yes — the operators we supply are built for continuous commercial use in high-heat, high-dust environments, and we specify the right IP-rated components for exposed or semi-outdoor entrances.

Do you offer an AMC for automatic doors you didn't originally supply?

Yes. A large share of our AMC portfolio is doors installed by other suppliers that we now service and maintain.

Can automatic doors integrate with access control or fire alarm systems?

Yes, our automatic door installations can be integrated with access control credentials and fire alarm break-glass/fail-safe requirements where the building specification calls for it.

How long does automatic door installation take?

It depends on the number of doors and site readiness — we provide a firm timeline after a site survey, and prioritize minimizing downtime for active entrances.

Do you provide a site survey before quoting?

Yes, we survey the opening, structural support, and power/wiring before quoting to make sure the specified operator actually fits the installation.

What happens if our automatic door breaks down?

AMC clients get priority response for breakdowns. We stock common spare parts for the brands we carry to reduce downtime.

Do you serve areas outside Dubai city?

Yes, we supply, install, and service automatic doors across Dubai and the wider UAE.

Are your automatic door installations SIRA-compliant where required?

Our technical team is SIRA-certified, and we ensure installations meet the relevant compliance requirements for the building type.
