Two Types of Automatic Entrance Doors

Commercial automatic doors use different movement structures to suit different entrance spaces, pedestrian patterns and architectural requirements. Start with the two automatic door families supplied by SEPPES below.

Automatic sliding glass door at a modern commercial entrance

Automatic Sliding Doors

Automatic sliding doors provide direct, straight-line pedestrian access and are commonly selected for frequently used commercial entrances.

Best considered when

  • Straight pedestrian flow is required
  • Side space is available for door-panel travel
  • Touchless activation or access control is needed

Representative products: Automatic Sliding Glass Door, Commercial Automatic Sliding Doors, Telescopic Automatic Sliding Door

Typical applications: Retail stores, office buildings, hospitals, shopping malls and public entrances

Automatic revolving door at a hotel entrance

Automatic Revolving Door

Automatic revolving doors create a continuous rotating entrance path for large commercial buildings that need organized pedestrian circulation and a strong architectural presence.

Best considered when

  • Continuous pedestrian circulation is required
  • Indoor and outdoor areas need ongoing separation
  • The entrance is part of the building’s architectural identity

Typical applications: Hotels, office towers, commercial complexes and major public-building entrances

Selection Guide

Choose an Automatic Entrance Door by Project Requirements

Start with the physical opening and the way people use it. These six factors help narrow the door family before detailed engineering and component selection.

  1. Available Side Space

    Review the wall or frame area available for door-panel travel. Where lateral clearance is limited, a telescopic sliding arrangement may be considered after project review.

    Telescopic Sliding or Project Review
  2. Required Clear Opening

    Define the required usable passage for pedestrians, carts, luggage or accessibility needs before selecting the door movement and panel arrangement.

    Bi-parting or telescopic sliding product directions
  3. Pedestrian Flow

    Estimate expected traffic volume, peak periods, entry and exit direction, luggage movement and the need for continuous circulation.

    Sliding or Revolving
  4. Indoor–Outdoor Separation

    Consider air-conditioning, outdoor exposure, opening frequency, entrance vestibules and the required separation between indoor and outdoor areas.

    Sliding or Revolving after project review
  5. Architectural Appearance

    Choose between minimal all-glass entrances, framed commercial sliding doors and prominent revolving entrances.

    Match the entrance concept to the building
  6. New Construction or Retrofit

    Existing entrances require verification of structural space, mounting position, electrical supply and finishes. New construction allows earlier coordination.

    Confirm site conditions before selection

Practical Answers

Automatic Entrance Door FAQs

Use these answers to prepare an initial discussion. Final product selection and supply scope follow verified project information.

What types of automatic entrance doors does SEPPES offer?

SEPPES supplies automatic sliding doors and automatic revolving doors. Each family can be reviewed with different structures, glass and frame directions, operators, sensors, controllers and project-specific supply scopes.

What is the difference between sliding and revolving doors?

Sliding leaves travel horizontally, while revolving wings rotate around a central axis. Their side-space needs, passage patterns and relationship with the building entrance are different.

Which automatic door is suitable for limited side space?

A telescopic sliding product may be considered where lateral clearance is limited, but the opening and available wall or frame space must be confirmed through project review before selection.

Which door type is suitable for frequent pedestrian traffic?

The decision should consider traffic direction, peak volume, opening size, luggage or carts, indoor–outdoor separation and the wider entrance plan. Sliding and revolving directions may both be relevant after project review.

Can automatic entrance doors integrate with access control?

Yes, subject to project coordination. Confirm the controller, lock, input and output signals, access-control devices, supply responsibility and commissioning responsibility.

Can SEPPES supply complete automatic entrance systems?

Depending on the project, the supply can include a complete door system, door leaves and frames, operators, sensors, controllers and related components. The final scope is confirmed in the project proposal.

Can the glass, frame and door dimensions be customized?

Customization is reviewed against the opening size, glass specification, frame profile, operator capacity, building conditions and project requirements.

What information is required for a quotation?

Provide the opening width and height, available side space, expected pedestrian flow, preferred door type, glass and frame requirements, access-control needs, quantity and project country.
