Automatic Sliding Doors Dubai

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, Dorma (Germany) and ASSA ABLOY sliding door operators — genuine, manufacturer-warrantied products installed and maintained by our own 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.

Add an Air Curtain Above Busy Sliding Doors

On entrances that face outside heat and open hundreds of times a day, an air curtain above the sliding door keeps cool air in and dust and insects out while the door is open. It can switch on automatically with the door. See air curtain prices from AED 2,350, or read our guide to air curtains for automatic sliding doors.

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, Dorma and ASSA ABLOY 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.

Should I add an air curtain above my automatic sliding door?

On busy entrances that face outside heat, yes. The air curtain reduces the hot air, dust and insects that come in each time the door opens, and it can be linked to switch on with the door.

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.

Do your installations meet building compliance requirements?

Yes. We specify and install to the requirements of the building type, including fire alarm integration and fail-safe operation where the specification calls for it.
