The Complete Entrance

One Entrance, Coordinated Components

An automatic sliding door system brings together the door leaves, powered drive, sensing and control logic. Each part needs to work with the opening and the way the entrance will be used.

For a new project, SEPPES configures and supplies the complete door. We review the door construction and system requirements together, with the final specification developed around your project.

01

Operator & Drive

The motor and transmission move the door leaves. Review the drive together with the leaf weight, travel distance and expected use, so the complete entrance can be configured around its operating needs.

02

Track & Hangers

The rail and hanger hardware support guided movement. Their arrangement depends on the door construction, panel travel and mounting structure. Allow space for both installation and later service access.

03

Controller & Power

The controller coordinates opening requests, timing, operating modes and detection inputs. Power preparation and the required control interfaces are part of the project review.

04

Activation & Presence Detection

Activation requests opening; presence detection monitors relevant doorway areas. These are separate functions even when one sensor assembly combines them. Device positions follow the entrance layout.

05

Operating & Access Inputs

A push button, mode selector or access-control signal may form part of the agreed configuration. Define who can enter, when access is permitted and how the door should respond.

06

Door Leaves & Connections

Glass, frames, fixed panels, lower guidance and seals complete the physical entrance. Their weight and connection details need to be coordinated with the operator and surrounding construction.

Configured to Your Project

Start with the Opening and How It Will Be Used

Your project details guide the configuration. Begin with the opening and door construction, then coordinate the operating and installation requirements.

01

Opening & Panel Travel

Share the clear opening you need, overall opening dimensions and available side space. Single-sliding, bi-parting and telescopic arrangements need different movement and hardware reviews.

Useful starting informationOpening sketch, side-space dimensions and preferred movement.

02

Door Construction

Glass and frame choices affect the moving mass and attachment details. If door weight is not yet known, provide the proposed dimensions and construction for review.

Useful starting informationLeaf dimensions, glass specification and frame direction.

03

Header & Installation Space

The fixing surface, header depth, adjacent ceiling and service access affect the operator arrangement. Existing entrances also need their current condition reviewed.

Useful starting informationElevation, header detail or clear site photographs.

04

Daily Use & Control

Describe pedestrian traffic, opening requests, controlled-access periods and any special operating needs. Sensing, locking and control responses are then considered together.

Useful starting informationBuilding use, access requirements and intended operating modes.

Describe the Required Response

For access control, tell us which equipment will request entry and how the door should behave during normal and restricted use. Emergency Opening and Manual Release can be reviewed for the applicable configuration. Required accessories, interfaces and power-loss behavior are confirmed with the project.

For activation, presence and mounting inputs, review the Sliding Door Sensor Configuration guide.

Early Planning

Typical Configuration Reference

Use these common sliding-door ranges to frame the initial discussion. They are reference information, not a fixed SEPPES model specification.

These figures are general planning references. Final specifications and supplied components are confirmed for each customized project. The ranges describe different possible configurations; their maximum values should not be combined as one system specification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Your Sliding Door System

Practical answers for a new complete-door project or support for an existing SEPPES installation.

Do you supply a complete door or only the operator?

Our main focus is complete door supply. Operator systems, components and accessories are generally supplied to existing customers as replacement, spare or repair parts. Large-volume standalone requirements, such as hundreds or thousands of sets, can be discussed separately. Replacement compatibility is reviewed against the original configuration.

How do I select a system without a model number?

Start with the opening, door construction, installation space and operating requirements. SEPPES configures the complete door around those inputs rather than asking you to select a fixed catalog model. Share the information already available; unresolved details can be identified during review.

Are the reference parameters guaranteed for every door?

No. The table gives general planning ranges across possible configurations. The final dimensions, door-leaf capacity, speed, power supply and control options are confirmed for your project. A maximum in one row does not mean all other maximum values are available in the same configuration.

Can the door work with access control or special operating modes?

Include the required entry method and operating response in the project brief. The controller, sensing, locking and interfaces need to be reviewed together. Emergency Opening and Manual Release can be discussed for the applicable configuration; their operating logic and power-loss behavior are confirmed for the project.

How can an existing customer request a replacement part?

Send the previous order or project reference, photographs of the door and relevant component, any available identification labels and a description of the issue. We can review the earlier supply configuration before confirming a replacement or operator package.

What should I send for an initial quotation?

Opening width and height, site photographs or a drawing, the preferred door arrangement, glass or frame requirements, quantity and destination are useful starting points. Include access-control needs and the building's normal use where known. Final technical details can develop during the project discussion.
