For a business, the front door does a lot of work. It welcomes customers, manages foot traffic, keeps heating and cooling inside and needs to be easy for everyone to use, including people with prams, wheelchairs or trolleys. An automatic door handles all of that without anyone touching a handle.
We install automatic sliding doors, swing door operators and retrofit kits for commercial premises, from small shopfronts to medical centres and apartment lobbies. Each installation is planned around access, safety sensors and your opening hours.
In short: Hustle Installations installs commercial automatic doors for shops, offices, clinics and strata buildings. Cost depends on door type, size, glass, operator and access control. We aim to respond to enquiries within one business day and offer a free site assessment and quote.
Every commercial entry has different demands. A supermarket or pharmacy may see hundreds of people an hour and needs a wide, fast bi-parting door. A medical clinic needs gentle, reliable operation for patients with limited mobility. An office lobby or apartment building may need the door to lock after hours and open only for authorised users. Hospitality venues often want an entry that keeps weather and noise out while staying inviting.
We start with a site assessment covering traffic, the opening, existing frames, power supply and any security requirements. From there we recommend the door type, operator and sensor setup, confirm compliance considerations and schedule installation to minimise downtime. Our auto door installation page covers our broader automatic door services if you are still comparing options.
When businesses call us about problem automatic doors, the root cause is usually one of these.
The wrong door for the traffic. A single slider on a high-traffic entry opens too slowly, causing queues and wear.
Poor sensor setup. Badly positioned or adjusted sensors cause doors to open for passing pedestrians, waste energy or close too soon on slower users.
No plan for after-hours security. Doors installed without suitable locking or access control leave businesses exposed overnight.
Neglected servicing. Automatic doors are mechanical systems. Without regular checks, tracks wear, rollers fail and safety sensors drift out of adjustment.
We configure each commercial entry to suit the building, traffic and security needs.
Commercial automatic doors are priced on the door system and the work needed to install it.

Most businesses cannot afford to close their entry for long. We plan commercial installations so the old door stays in service as long as possible, prefabricate what we can and, where practical, complete the changeover outside trading hours. The site is kept safe and secure throughout, and staff are shown how to use the new door before we leave.

An automatic door is one of the most effective ways to make a commercial entry accessible. Requirements for accessible entrances in many commercial buildings come from the National Construction Code, which references AS 1428.1 for matters such as door width, circulation space and the force needed to open a door. Automatic doors can help meet these requirements where required, particularly where a manual door would be too heavy or awkward to use.
Safety is equally important. Commercial automatic doors rely on correctly set motion and presence sensors so they open for approaching people and do not close on someone in the doorway. After installation, regular servicing keeps sensors, tracks and operators working as intended. We can set up a servicing schedule that suits your traffic levels and record what was checked on each visit.
A broken automatic door can stop a business in its tracks. Customers queue outside, staff prop the door open, heating and cooling escape and the premises may not be secure at closing time. Business owners and property managers often tell us their bigger frustration is the lack of clear communication: vague quotes, missed appointments and installers who leave without explaining how the system works.
We take a straightforward approach. You receive a written scope and price, a confirmed installation time that fits your trading hours and a proper handover with your team. If something needs attention later, you know exactly who to call.
What sets us apart:
We match door type, width and speed to how many people use your entry.
Installations are scheduled to keep your business open wherever possible.
Sensors are set up and tested so the door responds safely to every user.
Keypads, card readers and after-hours locking can be built into the system.
Your staff are shown how to use, lock and reset the door before we leave.
We offer servicing and repairs to keep your automatic door running reliably.
Tell us what you need, where the project is located, and what outcome you want. We ask the right questions, review the scope, and provide a clear quote with no obligation.
We inspect access, openings, levels, existing frames, surrounding finishes, and any site-specific requirements. Accurate measurement helps prevent delays, gaps, and unnecessary rework.
We confirm the installation approach, materials, scheduling, and finish expectations. For Melbourne projects, we can also discuss thermal performance, double glazing, weather sealing, and BAL rating considerations where required or relevant.
Our team installs with care, precision, and safety. We focus on alignment, fixing, glazing, sealing, operation, and clean presentation.
Before we leave, we check the installation, clean the work area, and walk through the finished result. You get a tidy site and a result built to perform.
Commercial automatic door installation covers a site assessment, supply of the door system or operator, installation of tracks, glass and frames where needed, wiring, sensor setup, access control integration and commissioning. We test the door, adjust its settings for your traffic and show your staff how to operate and lock it before handover.
Shops, supermarkets, pharmacies, medical and dental clinics, aged care facilities, offices, hotels, restaurants and apartment lobbies all benefit. Automatic doors improve accessibility, keep conditioned air inside, help manage foot traffic and give a more professional first impression for customers and visitors.
Often, yes. Many existing swing doors and some sliding doors can be fitted with an automatic operator if the door, frame and hinges are in good condition and the door is a suitable size and weight. We inspect the door during the site assessment and let you know whether retrofitting or a new door system is the better option.
It can. The National Construction Code and AS 1428.1 set accessibility requirements for many commercial buildings, including door widths, circulation space and opening forces. Automatic doors are a common way to make an entry easier to use. Your building surveyor or access consultant can confirm what applies, and we install to suit where required.
A retrofit operator on an existing door can often be installed in a day. A new automatic sliding door with glass panels and framing usually takes one to two days on site, after a lead time for manufacture. We confirm the schedule in your quote and can complete much of the work outside trading hours where practical.
Yes, where practical. We understand that closing an entry costs money, so we often schedule the most disruptive parts of the work early in the morning, in the evening or on quieter days. We also keep the site secure overnight if the work runs across more than one day.
Most commercial automatic doors can be set to lock automatically or switched to a locked mode at closing time. Electric locks, keypads, card readers and key switches can be added so staff or tenants can still enter after hours. We set up the locking mode and access control during commissioning.
Yes. We remove the old door if it is being replaced, take away packaging and offcuts, clean the glass and leave the entry ready for customers. Where installation creates dust or debris, we contain it and clean as we go so your business can keep operating around us.
Servicing frequency depends on how busy the entry is and the manufacturer’s recommendations, but regular inspections are important for safety and reliability. High-traffic doors generally need more frequent checks. We can recommend a schedule after installation and keep a record of each service visit.
