Automatic sliding doors
Automatic sliding doors for Cape Town entrances.
We supply, install and service automatic sliding doors for shopping centres, hospitals, offices and anywhere people need to get through without touching a handle. Our own operators are the CDS-SL-800 Sliding Door and the CDS-SL-1000 Sliding Door.
The range
Two operators, one difference: how much door they carry.
Both run on the same brushless motor and controller. Choose by the weight of the door leaves.

Features
Built to run quietly, all day.
1
Microcomputer control
Opening speed, closing speed and hold-open time are set on the controller to suit the entrance.
2
Self-learning at start-up
On every power-up the operator measures the door width and adjusts itself to match.
3
Brushless motor
A 24 V brushless DC motor with low friction and a long service life.
4
Quiet running
Polyoxymethylene rollers and shock-absorbing rubber cut noise. A wool brush keeps the rail free of dust.
5
Electric lock and interlock
Works with access control systems through an electric lock. Two doors can be interlocked so only one opens at a time.
6
Backup battery ready
An optional battery keeps the door working through load-shedding and outages.

Questions
Automatic sliding doors: what people ask us.
What is the difference between the CDS-SL-800 and the CDS-SL-1000?
Door weight. The CDS-SL-800 carries a single leaf of up to 120 kg, or two leaves of up to 100 kg each. The CDS-SL-1000 carries a single leaf of up to 180 kg, or two leaves of up to 160 kg each. Speeds, opening width, motor and controller functions are the same on both.
Do you repair automatic sliding doors from other brands?
Yes. We service and repair automatic sliding doors of all makes, including Dorma, Tormax, Geze, Assa Abloy, FAAC and Frost, whether or not we installed them.
Will an automatic sliding door work during load-shedding?
It can. Both CDS-SL operators have a 24 V backup battery input. With the optional battery fitted, the door keeps operating through load-shedding and power cuts.
Can an automatic sliding door be fitted to an existing entrance?
Yes. Our sliding door operators can be retrofitted to most existing openings, and specified for new buildings. We measure the opening and check the door leaves on a site visit before we quote.
