Find the right automatic sliding door for your requirements – GEZE will assist you.
Be it as access to an elegant foyer, as the entrance to a store in a shopping centre or as a hygienic door in the nursing and health care sector – depending on the type of building and location, automatic sliding doors must meet a wide range of different user requirements. This results in a wide variety of sliding door solutions, which even for experts is not easy to keep track of. This page provides you with an overview of our range of automatic sliding doors. Can’t find the right solution for your needs? Please contact us, we would be pleased to talk to you personally about appropriate solutions.
GEZE sliding doors for various requirements
In most cases, automatic sliding doors are used in entrance areas of buildings. As the "calling card" of the building, they must therefore satisfy appropriate requirements – for example, they must act as an escape and rescue door or as protection against burglary. And of course, design aspects often tend to play a key role here. The use of sliding door systems in the entrance area offers the advantage that they are both comfortable and barrier-free/access. In addition, sliding door systems require little space for installation. And let's not forget daylight, which, in combination with the stylish design of sliding glass doors, significantly enhances the ambience and flair of the building. This is why hotels and stores like to use automatic sliding door solutions in reception and entrance areas.
Automatic sliding doors are however also used inside buildings - for example in industrial buildings or clinics. Here, further requirements come into play: for example, extra large and heavy door leaves or special hygiene conditions for surgical doors. A further strength of sliding doors lies in room partitioning, for example, the separation of guest rooms and kitchens. Here, too, the automatic sliding door stands out due to its contactless ease of access.
Our GEZE portfolio includes automatic sliding doors for all these requirements and applications.

In addition, we also provide solutions for very specific and highly individual requirements. For example, automatic sliding doors for use in narrow glass facades or with special burglar resistance. We also have the experience required for solutions with particularly large automatic sliding doors or automatic sliding door systems with integrated skylights. Feel free to contact us – together with our GEZE Solution Team, you will find the optimal solution to cater to your specific needs.
Individual sliding door solutions for projects with specific requirements
Five questions to find the perfect automatic sliding door
When you start your search for your automatic sliding door, first identify your key requirements. To help you do this, we have listed five questions below to help you find the right sliding door system.
We offer various sliding door systems, each of which is characterised by basic features. These can be a valuable initial guide for you to narrow down your selection and find the perfect sliding door solution.
GEZE ECdrive T2: Our drive featuring a particularly attractive price-performance ratio. An extremely useful solution is achieved in combination with our energy-efficient profile systems.
GEZE Slimdrive: Our solution with a low overall height of only 7 cm. The clear design line of the Slimdrive drive series adapts perfectly to any building architecture.
GEZE Powerdrive: These drives are genuine powerhouses. They are able to move even heavy doors comfortably and safely.
Hygienic Doors: With Powerdrive PL-HAT and ECdrive H, we are offering two drive variants that have been specially developed for use in areas with increased hygiene requirements.
Perlan AUT: Our Perlan sliding door fitting for internal application can be automated with this drive. Variants are available for leaf weights up to 80 kg and up to 120 kg. There is also a version especially for glass doors.
All of our sliding door systems are highly versatile and can be used both as building access and for installation inside the building. The choice of material, such as glass leaves to take advantage of daylight, and possible requirements for tightness and energy efficiency depend on the respective location.
In order to find a meaningful answer to this question, you should clarify whether - if there is enough space – a linear sliding system or – if there is less space - a telescopic sliding system would be suitable for you. The latter function can be implemented with the GEZE Slimdrive. The overall height of the cover with the drive also influences the space available for the door leaves. Depending on the various solutions, the cover height varies between 70 and 200 mm.
The individual security requirements of your sliding door depend on the type of building as well as the installation location. Do you need an escape and rescue door? Should your sliding door be smoke-tight? How should the access control be handled? We would be happy to assist you in answering all these questions.
Our wide range of products also encompasses special sliding door systems designed for buildings with increased hygiene requirements, whether in the nursing and healthcare sector or in airports and public facilities. The GEZE ECdrive and GEZE Powerdrive can be equipped with the corresponding functions. We would be pleased to inform you about further details.
