Automatic Doors for Quick Shops & Forecourts
Twelve automatic entrance designs — bi-parting, single sliding, telescopic, swing and bi-fold — framed or frameless, configured in the full safety-glass range and specified for high-traffic fuel-station quick shops.
Entrances Built for the Quick Shop
Fuel forecourts are the hardest working entrances in the country: constant traffic, wind, dust, wet floors and power interruptions. These are the framed and frameless entrances we specify for them.
Forecourt quick shop — framed bi-parting entrance
Dusk at the forecourt: a framed bi-parting sliding entrance on the quick shop, motion-activated, with the shop lit through clear toughened glass.
Sensor activated
Radar or push-button activation opens the entrance before the customer reaches the glass.
Built for wind loading
Deep head boxes, heavy-duty tracks and floor guides specified for exposed forecourt elevations.
Battery backup
Optional battery backup keeps the entrance working through load shedding and power failures.
Safety certified
Safety light curtains or presence sensors on both sides, with hold-open times set on site.

Start configuringFramed or Frameless
Every design in the range can be built either way. Which one suits your entrance depends on exposure, cycle count and how much of the shopfront you want the glass to be.
Framed
A powder-coated or anodised aluminium frame carries the glass, the operator and the track. The frame protects the glass edges, takes the wind loading on an exposed forecourt and is the practical choice for service doors that see thousands of cycles.
- Frame face and colour set per entrance
- Laminated or toughened safety glass
- Operator, track and sensors concealed in the head
Frameless
The leaves are the glass — 10, 12 or 15 mm toughened safety glass with polished edges and butt-jointed meeting stiles, carried on a recessed head track and floor guide. The shopfront reads as one continuous sheet of glass.
- Toughened safety glass with polished edges
- Recessed head track and floor guide only
- Best in a sheltered or deep-canopy entrance
Configured in the Full Safety Glass Range
The same glass already offered across our aluminium doors, shopfronts and mirror doors — safety glass only in an entrance leaf.
Laminated safety
Clear, frosted, low-iron, bronze or grey — 6.38 · 8.38 · 10.38 · 12.38 mm
Toughened safety
Clear, frosted, low-iron, bronze or grey — 4 · 5 · 6 · 8 · 10 · 12 · 15 · 19 mm

Measure Your Door Opening
A quick guide to the dimensions we need to cut your door to size.
W = opening width · H = opening height
4 measurements to get right
- 1
Measure the structural opening width at three points (top, middle, bottom) and use the smallest.
- 2
Measure the opening height on the left, centre and right — again use the smallest.
- 3
Note the handing: view from outside and record which side the hinges sit on.
- 4
Measure the wall thickness so we can size the frame correctly.
Always measure twice in millimetres. If your opening is out of square, give us the smallest figure so the door fits without forcing.
