Types of Automatic Door Systems
Selecting the right automatic door system depends on foot traffic, building layout and operational requirements. We offer a range of solutions tailored to different commercial applications.
There are four main types of automatic doors: swing doors, sliding doors, telescopic doors and bifolding doors. Each offers distinct advantages depending on the environment and operational needs.

The most common solution for commercial entrances, sliding doors provide smooth, space-efficient access and are ideal for high-traffic areas.
Swing Automatic Doors
Suitable for buildings where space is limited or where retrofitting is required, swing doors offer flexibility while maintaining automated functionality.
Bi-Parting Doors
Designed for wider openings, bi-parting doors improve accessibility and allow for efficient movement of people and equipment.
Telescopic Doors
Ideal for restricted spaces, telescopic systems maximise opening width while minimising the footprint.
