In modern buildings, user experience is measured not only by aesthetic design and durability, but also by comfort, hygiene, and energy efficiency. Photocell door systems, which come into play here, have become one of the most effective solutions, especially in areas with high human traffic.

Photocell doors, which detect approach and automatically open and close thanks to sensor technology, offer significant advantages such as contactless access, reduced heat loss, and user safety. It also enhances the functionality of the building with models specifically developed for different needs.

What is a Photocell Door?

A photocell door is an access system that works with motion or proximity sensors and opens and closes automatically without user contact. Today, it is preferred in many areas, especially commercial buildings, hospitals, hotels, public institutions, and industrial facilities.

Main areas of use:

• Shopping malls and chain stores
• Hospitals, clinics, and laboratories
• Airports and transportation hubs
• Office buildings and hotels
• Industrial facility entrances

Main Advantages of Photocell Doors

Contactless and Hygienic Use

Because it does not require user contact, it meets the highest hygiene standards, especially in healthcare facilities and sterile areas.

bold;">Energy Efficiency

Because doors only open and close when needed, heat loss is reduced and air conditioning costs are significantly reduced.

High User Comfort

Thanks to the automatic opening and closing feature in heavy traffic, waiting times are eliminated and transitions become much smoother.

Security and Accessibility

Provides safe, sensor-controlled access for disabled people. In emergency situations, it can be supported by manual control options.

Aesthetic and Modern Design

Manufactured with contemporary materials such as glass and aluminum, it gives modern buildings a professional appearance.

Photocell Door Types: Telescopic and Sliding Systems

Photocell doors are divided into two main categories depending on their area of ​​use and needs: sliding and telescopic models. Both models offer solutions suitable for different architectural and operational requirements.

1. Sliding Automatic Doors

The most commonly used type of photocell door. When sensors detect movement, the door wings slide open sideways.

• Ideal for entrances with high foot traffic.
• Its aesthetic appearance makes it a popular choice in corporate buildings.
• Its energy efficiency is high and it operates quietly.

Areas of use: Shopping mall entrances, office lobbies, hospitals, hotels, and stores.

2. Telescopic Automatic Doors

Designed to provide maximum clearance in narrow passageways than standard side-sliding models. The door wings open by moving telescopically inward.

• Provides a wide opening in limited façade widths.
• Offers advantages in areas with high traffic density.
• Provides flexibility in architectural designs.

Area of ​​use: Buildings with narrow entrances, stations and airports with high traffic, compact commercial areas.

How to Choose the Right Photocell Door?

The following criteria should be considered when making a selection:

• Transition density: Motor power and sensor type should be determined according to frequency of use.
• Area width: A telescopic or sliding model should be chosen.
• Safety and standards: Products with international certifications such as EN and ISO should be preferred.
• Maintenance and service support: Manufacturer support is important for long-term use.
