The cost of auto door including installation, can vary depending on several factors. In Malaysia, for a general idea, the current minimum will start around RM 3500 for the swing door and RM 4500 for the sliding door.
However, to provide more details and specific estimation, various considerations come into play.
Factor such as:
- Door condition
- Accessories add on
- Installer
All of this affects the budget needed to allocate.
So in this article, we’re going go more in depth about it. We’ll be basing the price on the Ranger auto door. The cost of installation and cabling also will be included in the calculation.
First, let’s understand what is auto door and its benefits.
What are an auto door and their types?
An auto door system, also known as an automatic door system, refers to a set of mechanisms and sensors designed to operate doors without the need for manual intervention.
The automatic door opens when the door controller receives an activation signal from the sensor and activates the gear motor to drive the belt and pulley. When no one is detected inside the activation area, the door starts closing after a designated period.
Key components of an auto door system typically include:
- motion sensors
- activation devices
- door actuators
- control system
- safety features
- power supply
Auto door systems can be categorized based on the type of movement:
Automatic sliding doors
- A sliding door is a type of door that opens horizontally by sliding along a track. Instead of swinging open like a traditional hinged door, a sliding door moves parallel to the adjacent wall. This design saves space and provides a sleek, modern look.
- Sliding doors are commonly used in various settings, including residential homes, offices, commercial buildings, and public spaces.
Automatic swing doors
- A swing door, also known as a hinged door, is a traditional type of door that is attached to a door frame by hinges, allowing it to swing open and closed.
- This type of door is one of the most common and widely used door styles in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. The swinging motion of the door is typically either inward or outward, depending on the design and user preferences.
Revolving doors
- A revolving door is a type of entrance door that consists of multiple door panels arranged in a circular shape around a central axis. The entire structure rotates around this axis, allowing people to enter or exit a building without the need for them to push or pull the door.
- Revolving doors are commonly used in various public and commercial buildings due to their energy efficiency, aesthetic appeal, and ability to control the flow of people in and out of a space.
Folding doors
- A folding door, also known as a bi-fold door, is a type of door that folds in sections, similar to an accordion. This design allows the door to occupy a minimal amount of space when opened, making it a practical solution for areas with limited space or for creating large openings between indoor and outdoor spaces.
- Folding doors are commonly used in residential and commercial settings, particularly in spaces where a wide and unobstructed entrance is desired.
Automatic doors are often used in various public places such as shopping malls, airports, hospitals, and other commercial buildings to improve accessibility, comfort and energy efficiency. The advantages of automatic doors include ease of use, comfort, and increased security, especially in situations where there are large numbers of people coming and going.
Auto door price/cost in Malaysia
Going back to the main topic, the cost of auto door installation is mainly influenced by three key components:
- Door condition
- Accessories add on
- Installer
As mentioned previously, the minimum cost will be RM3500 and RM 4500. But if take these three factors into account, you probably need to top up the budget.
Door condition
- Defective doors that permit door replacement or repair, such as doors that are difficult to close completely or have broken hinges. You’ll need to add more money as a result. In this case, an estimated cost of start is around RM 500 and above. (depending on door condition)
Accessories
- An extra budget is needed if you’re considering adding extra accessories for your door such as sound when the door opens and device connection to access control and attendance system. In this case, an estimated extra cost can start as low as RM 500 and go up until RM 4000 and can be much higher. (depending on the accessories you want)
Installer
- Payment for installation fees may vary according to the installer. Some installers may change and up their cost depending on the workload and time strain caused by client requests. For instance, it is feasible to construct five sliding doors in a single day, but the final cost may be higher than having an installer working for a few days.
On this part, it is just important to take note that your specific requirement may cause the installation fee to increase.
Note that this price is mainly for swing and sliding doors. For revolving and folding doors will probably be much higher.
End note
With the advantages that this auto door brings, there is no doubt that this purchase will pleasure in the future.
