Office Entrance Planning
Plan automatic doors for office buildings around employee and visitor movement, reception and access control. Review the public lobby and controlled interior routes separately, then coordinate the door configuration and project interfaces.
An office project commonly contains more than one automatic entrance. Separate each opening by who uses it, what decision allows movement, and which team owns the surrounding interfaces.
This is the public arrival point for employees, visitors, deliveries, and reception. Review the facade opening, approach routes, peak arrival periods, lobby circulation, weather exposure, appearance, and the required clear passage.
This route separates the reception or public lobby from controlled office areas. Define who requests access, who approves release, how the lock and door respond, and how safe movement is maintained in both directions.
Turn operating conditions into review questions before selecting a movement type. This keeps the proposal tied to the actual building route.
Describe routine and peak movement, approach directions, group arrivals, and the clear route through the lobby.
Map each user route from arrival to reception or the controlled area, including any manual verification or reception release.
Share opening dimensions, fixed glazing, available side travel, headroom, nearby walls, and the required usable passage.
Create one interface schedule for credentials, access decisions, locking, door control, sensors, power, cabling, testing, and handover.
Define normal, restricted, cleaning, delivery, emergency, and locked modes with the parties responsible for each command and release.
Main Lobby
Start with movement through the lobby. Compare the verified opening, side travel or footprint, approach routes, passage, facade, controls, safety sensing, and destination-project requirements.
Primary review direction
Start with an automatic sliding arrangement when the lobby needs a direct, transparent passage and the facade can provide suitable travel space for the moving leaves.
Conditional review direction
Review a revolving arrangement when the entrance concept, available footprint, pedestrian circulation, project requirements, and adjacent escape or accessible route strategy support it.
The revolving direction is conditional. It should be selected from the building concept and verified project conditions, not treated as an automatic upgrade from a sliding entrance.
Once sliding movement is established, refine the leaf layout and construction against the opening, facade, required passage, appearance, moving mass, and supply boundary.
A centered opening can support two moving leaves that separate from the middle, subject to verified clear passage, side travel, leaf construction, and surrounding glazing.
Review Bi-Parting Sliding DoorsUse this path when the entrance design calls for framed glass leaves and the project needs the frames, glass, fixed panels, finishes, operator, and installation boundary coordinated together.
Review Aluminum-Framed DoorsUse this path when visual transparency is central to the lobby design and the glass, patch fittings, bottom guidance, moving mass, surrounding construction, and supply scope can be verified.
Review All-Glass Sliding DoorsConsider telescopic movement only when limited side stacking space must be balanced with the required clear passage and the more involved leaf arrangement can be accommodated.

Interior Controlled Route
An interior automatic sliding door can preserve a transparent office route while coordinating controlled release. The door selection alone does not define who grants access or how the lock, controller, sensors, and building systems exchange signals.
Record entry and exit behavior, reception involvement, credential type, locking method, operating modes, signal ownership, cabling, testing, and the intended response when power or another system is unavailable.
Interface Planning
Use this simple responsibility flow to identify interfaces. It is a planning sequence, not a wiring diagram. The involved suppliers must confirm compatible signals, timing, lock behavior, fail states, testing, and handover for the actual project.
Explore Automatic Door SystemsA person presents a credential or reception initiates a release according to the building access policy.
The access system decides whether the route may be released and passes the project-defined permission to the locking interface.
The automatic door controller and lock respond according to the agreed sequence, timing, status signals, and fail-state requirements.
The operator moves the verified leaf arrangement through its programmed opening and closing cycle.
Project-selected sensors support activation and presence monitoring around the moving door and intended pedestrian route.
Published Project Context
These published cases show office entrance applications already represented in the project library. Use them as context, then verify the new building conditions independently.

View Office Revolving Entrance ProjectA shared sequence helps the architect, facade team, security team, automatic door supplier, installer, and buyer compare the same entrance boundary.
Identify the public lobby entrance and each controlled interior route before comparing door types.
Record the facade, opening, side travel, passage, leaf construction, floor, structure, and installation conditions.
Define users, peak movement, access decisions, locking, sensing, operating modes, signals, and fail states.
Align inclusions, exclusions, responsibilities, destination, quantity, testing, documentation, and handover before proposal review.
Share confirmed information and mark what still needs site verification. Drawings and photographs help the review stay tied to the real opening.
These answers support early planning. Final selection depends on the verified opening, intended operation, interfaces, destination-project requirements, and agreed responsibilities.
An automatic sliding glass entrance is the primary review direction for many direct lobby routes when the opening and side travel support the required passage. The final choice still depends on verified facade, traffic, circulation, control, safety, and project requirements.
Consider it when the entrance concept and footprint suit revolving movement and the project team can coordinate circulation, adjacent route requirements, facade, canopy, floor, controls, installation, and destination-specific safety requirements.
The two roles should first be assessed separately because their users, release decisions, locking, operating modes, and responsibilities differ. A project may coordinate connected routes, but each opening needs its own verified operation and interfaces.
A project-defined interface may coordinate credential or reception decisions with locking and door operation. Compatibility, signal sequence, fail states, power, cabling, testing, and responsibility boundaries must be confirmed by the involved suppliers and project team.
Share drawings or photographs, opening dimensions, available side travel, required passage, leaf construction, traffic and access routes, operating modes, sensor and locking needs, power and cabling responsibilities, quantity, destination, and the requested supply scope.
