Types of Automatic Doors

Sliding doors

The most common automatic door for shops, offices, malls and lobbies. One or two glass leaves slide sideways, so the door never swings into the walkway.

Automatic sliding doors · Sliding operators · Sensors · Spare parts

Swing doors

An operator opens a hinged door. Used where the full opening width is needed, such as hospital corridors, accessible entrances and fire doors.

Swing door operators · Merac swing operator · Underfloor operator

Folding doors

Panels fold back along a track for a wide opening in a small space. Popular for shopfronts, restaurants and terraces.

Folding door systems

Telescopic doors

Sliding leaves stack behind each other to give a wider opening where wall space is limited.

Gilgen telescopic door

Revolving doors

Keep a constant seal between inside and outside, cutting air-conditioning loss in hotel and office lobbies. We supply, retrofit and repair them.

Safety sensor · Safety bumper · Slipring

Hermetic doors

Airtight sliding doors for operating theatres, ICUs, labs and cleanrooms.

Merac hermetic door · Gilgen SLX-D

Fire-Rated Automatic Doors

Fire doors on corridors and lobbies can also open automatically. A certified fire door is fitted with a fire-door version operator (GEZE Powerturn F, Gilgen FD 20F or Portalp ISO F) that closes and latches the door when the fire alarm activates. See fire rated automatic doors.

What Affects Automatic Door Cost

  • Door type: sliding is usually the lowest cost; telescopic, revolving and hermetic doors cost more.
  • Opening size and leaf weight: wider, heavier doors need a stronger operator.
  • Brand: see the price list above.
  • Glass and profiles: single glazing, double glazing, framed or frameless.
  • Sensors and access control: number of motion and safety sensors, card readers or intercom.
  • Site work: new opening vs. replacing an operator on an existing door, and power supply.

How installation works

  1. Free site survey: we measure the opening and check power and structure.
  2. Quote within 24 hours for door, operator, sensors and installation.
  3. Installation and commissioning: usually 1 to 2 days for a standard sliding door.
  4. Handover: minimum 1-year manufacturer warranty, with optional AMC.

Already have a door and only need the motor changed? An operator retrofit kit often reuses the existing glass and track.

Automatic Door FAQs

How much does an automatic door cost in Dubai?

Automatic sliding door operators start from AED 3,800 (Merac) and AED 5,000 to 7,760 for European brands such as ASSA ABLOY, GEZE, Portalp, Gilgen and DORMA. Swing door operators start from AED 5,500. Glass, sensors and installation are added after a site survey; installation starts from AED 1,200.

Which automatic door brand is best?

GEZE, DORMA, ASSA ABLOY, Portalp and Gilgen are all reliable European brands. The best choice depends on door size, traffic and budget, and on which brand is already in your building so spare parts match.

What types of automatic doors are available?

Sliding, swing, folding, telescopic, revolving and hermetic doors. Sliding doors are the most common for shops, offices and malls.

Can you automate my existing door?

Often yes. An existing sliding or swing door can usually take an operator if the leaf, frame and track are in good condition. We check on site before quoting.

How long does installation take?

A standard sliding door usually takes 1 to 2 days. Larger, telescopic, revolving or hermetic doors take longer.

Can automatic doors be fire rated?

Yes. A certified fire door with a fire-door version operator, such as GEZE Powerturn F, Gilgen FD 20F or Portalp ISO F, closes on fire alarm and keeps its fire rating.

What happens to an automatic door in a power cut?

Most operators can be fitted with a battery backup that opens or closes the door when power fails. Swing doors can also be opened by hand.

How often should automatic doors be serviced?

At least twice a year, and quarterly for busy entrances in malls, hospitals and hotels because of heat, sand and heavy use in the UAE.

Do you repair doors installed by other companies?

Yes. We repair and maintain all major brands regardless of who installed them, and keep common spare parts in stock in Dubai.

Which areas do you cover?

Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah and the rest of the UAE.
