Automatic Sliding Glass Doors

Automatic Sliding Glass Doors

Automatic Sliding Glass Doors provide a clean, modern and convenient entrance for buildings with regular pedestrian traffic. The glass leaves open automatically when a person approaches and close after passage, giving visitors easy hands-free access while helping maintain a controlled indoor environment.

AZTÖR Automation supplies and installs complete sliding door systems across the UAE and wider GCC, including the operator, aluminium header, glass leaves, activation sensors, presence safety sensors, locking and control accessories. Systems can be designed as single-sliding or bi-parting entrances with framed, slim-framed or frameless-style glass configurations depending on the opening, architecture and operating requirement.

For UAE buildings, selecting the operator only by door width is not enough. Leaf weight, daily traffic, wind exposure, external temperature, air-conditioned indoor conditions, available side space, glass specification, structural fixing and safety requirements all influence the final design. AZTÖR provides a free site inspection to check these conditions before recommending the appropriate system.

Depending on the project requirement and availability, AZTÖR can work with established automatic entrance brands used in the UAE and GCC such as dormakaba, GEZE, ASSA ABLOY, TORMAX and other suitable manufacturers. We also repair, maintain and retrofit existing automatic sliding doors, including installations originally supplied by other contractors.

Automatic sliding doors can be integrated with access control, card readers, biometric readers, push buttons, remote controls, building management systems and other authorised building interfaces where required. After installation, the system is adjusted, safety functions are tested and operating parameters are configured for the actual traffic pattern of the entrance.

Preventive maintenance is particularly important for busy entrances in malls, hotels, hospitals, offices and residential towers. AZTÖR provides scheduled maintenance, fault diagnosis, sensor replacement, operator and control-board repair, component replacement and emergency breakdown support to help keep automatic entrances safe and reliable throughout their service life.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is a motorised pedestrian entrance where one or more glass leaves slide horizontally when an activation device detects an approaching user. The operator, controller, sensors and safety devices are normally housed within or around the overhead header.

Yes. AZTÖR Automation provides a free site inspection for applicable automatic sliding door enquiries so we can check the opening, dimensions, fixing conditions, glass requirements, power availability, traffic level and integration requirements before recommending a system.

Depending on the project specification and product availability, we can provide solutions using established brands such as dormakaba, GEZE, ASSA ABLOY, TORMAX and other suitable automatic entrance systems commonly used in the UAE and GCC.

In many cases, yes. If the existing glass leaves, framing, track arrangement and structural support are suitable, an operator and safety package may be retrofitted instead of replacing the complete entrance. A site inspection is required to confirm feasibility.

Yes. Compatible systems can be interfaced with card readers, biometric readers, keypads, push buttons, intercoms and other authorised access-control systems so that automatic opening can be controlled according to the building's security requirements.

Yes. Operators are available for frequent and high-traffic applications such as malls, hospitals, hotels, airports and commercial buildings. The correct operator is selected according to leaf weight, opening width, expected cycles and site conditions.

Depending on the selected operator and project requirements, battery backup or an emergency operating configuration can be provided. The required behaviour during a power failure should be established during system design.

Yes. AZTÖR can inspect, diagnose, maintain and repair many existing automatic sliding door systems even when they were originally installed by another contractor, subject to the condition of the equipment and availability of compatible spare parts.

Maintenance frequency depends on traffic, operating environment and manufacturer recommendations. High-traffic UAE entrances generally require more frequent inspection than lightly used doors. AZTÖR can recommend an appropriate preventive maintenance schedule after assessing the installation.

Yes. AZTÖR Automation supports projects across the UAE and wider GCC, subject to project location, scope, mobilisation requirements and product availability.
