Automated Doors & Controlled Entry Solutions
Modern facilities often need entrance systems that make movement easier while maintaining security, access control, and efficient traffic flow. Bolthooks Technical Services supports automatic entry systems in Saudi Arabia for commercial buildings, offices, hotels, retail properties, industrial facilities, hospitals, and other high-traffic environments.
Our scope can cover automatic door equipment, entrance mechanisms, control components, installation, upgrades, and maintenance.
Automatic Door Solutions
Different entrances require different operating mechanisms. Depending on the application, solutions may include:
- Automatic sliding doors
- Automatic swing doors
- Revolving doors
- Telescopic sliding doors
- High-speed doors
- Automatic entrance operators
The appropriate system depends on door size, traffic volume, available space, security requirements, and building usage.
Automatic Sliding Doors
Sliding doors are suitable for entrances with frequent pedestrian movement.
They can be configured with suitable:
Motion Sensors | Presence Sensors | Door Operators | Safety Sensors | Access Readers
These systems can be used for commercial entrances, office buildings, healthcare facilities, retail locations, and other busy areas.
Automatic Swing Doors
Automatic swing operators can convert suitable conventional doors into powered entry points.
They may be useful where:
- Space limits sliding-door installation
- Existing doors need automation
- Accessibility is required
- Controlled entry is needed
- Pedestrian traffic needs smoother movement
Revolving Door Systems
Revolving doors can help manage high pedestrian traffic while reducing unnecessary air exchange between indoor and outdoor environments.
They are commonly considered for larger:
- Hotels
- Office buildings
- Commercial properties
- Corporate facilities
- High-traffic entrances
High-Speed Industrial Doors
Industrial environments may require doors that open and close rapidly to maintain workflow and separate different operating areas.
High-speed doors can be suitable for:
Warehouses | Factories | Loading Areas | Production Facilities | Industrial Workshops
Selection depends on traffic frequency, opening dimensions, environmental conditions, and operational requirements.
Access Control Integration
Automatic entry systems can be connected with security and access-control equipment where compatible.
Integration may include:
- Card readers
- Biometric readers
- Keypads
- Exit devices
- Intercom systems
- Security systems
- Building Management Systems
This allows automatic doors to operate according to defined access permissions or building controls.
Safety Features
Automatic doors require appropriate safety measures to reduce the risk of accidental contact or obstruction.
Depending on the system, safety features may include:
- Presence sensors
- Safety sensors
- Emergency release
- Obstacle detection
- Manual override
- Emergency opening functions
The required safety configuration depends on the door type and installation environment.
Installation & Commissioning
Our technical scope can include:
Site Assessment → Equipment Installation → Control Setup → Sensor Configuration → Testing → Commissioning
Existing entrance conditions, door dimensions, electrical requirements, and access-control arrangements can be considered before installation.
Repair & Maintenance
Automatic doors contain mechanical, electrical, and control components that may require periodic servicing.
Maintenance requirements can include:
- Sensor inspection
- Door alignment
- Operator checks
- Motor inspection
- Lock and access-control checks
- Safety-device testing
- Component replacement
- Troubleshooting
Maintenance can be arranged for existing automatic entry systems according to the equipment and site requirements.
Automatic Entry Applications
Systems can be used across:
Commercial Buildings | Hotels | Hospitals | Offices | Retail Stores | Warehouses | Industrial Facilities | Corporate Buildings | High-Traffic Entrances
Upgrading Existing Entrances
Existing doors may be upgraded with automatic operators, sensors, access readers, safety devices, or other compatible components.
This can provide automated entry without necessarily replacing the complete entrance assembly, depending on the existing door configuration.
