Melbourne businesses rely on their front door more than most people realise. It is the first thing customers touch, the barrier between the shop floor and a cold southerly, and the last line of security when staff lock up for the night.
We supply and install commercial automatic doors for retail, healthcare, hospitality, office and strata clients across Melbourne, and we service existing systems so they keep working through busy trading periods. Many Melbourne tenancies also come with landlord or owners corporation requirements, which we factor in from the start.
In short: Hustle Installations supplies, installs and services commercial automatic doors for Melbourne businesses and strata buildings. Price depends on the system, opening, glass, locking and access control. We aim to respond to enquiries within one business day, with a free site assessment and written quote.
The commercial mix across Melbourne is broad. Strip-shopping tenancies along tram routes need doors that cope with sudden crowds. Medical and allied health clinics in the middle suburbs want doors that patients with limited mobility can use without help. Apartment and office lobbies in the inner south-east need doors that tie into intercoms and fobs and lock reliably after hours.
We assess each entry for traffic, structure, power and security, then specify a system with the right operator, sensors and operating modes, and set it up around your trading hours. Our commercial automatic doors page explains the systems and features in more detail, and our main automatic doors page covers the full range we work with.
Commercial entries around Melbourne come with some recurring constraints.
Narrow strip-shop frontages. Older shopfronts along streets like Chapel Street and Glenferrie Road often leave little wall space for sliding leaves, so the configuration has to suit the width.
Landlord and fitout requirements. Shopping centre and managed tenancies often set rules on door types, finishes and work times, which need to be checked before ordering.
Growing health precincts. Clinics, pharmacies and aged care sites need longer hold-open times and reliable sensors for patients with walking aids.
Lobby security. Apartment and office buildings expect doors to integrate with intercoms and fobs and lock after hours, often with owners corporation sign-off.
Every Melbourne commercial project is put together from the components your entry needs.
As a general guide, a new commercial automatic sliding door with operator and glass panels costs around $6,000–$15,000+ supplied and installed in Melbourne. Retrofitting an operator to a suitable existing door is typically $3,500–$7,000, and a swing door operator around $2,500–$5,000. Servicing and repair call-outs start from about $150–$300.

We work to your trading calendar, not the other way around.
Closing a Melbourne shop or clinic for a door upgrade is rarely an option, so we plan the job around your hours. Preparation is done ahead of time, the main changeover is booked early, late or on a quieter day where practical, and we coordinate with centre management, owners corporations and electricians as needed. After installation, staff are shown how to use modes and locks.

We are based on Bayfield Road East, Bayswater North VIC 3153, in the City of Maroondah, and work on commercial automatic doors across metropolitan Melbourne. That includes retail strips and clinics in Burwood and Glen Waverley, around 25 to 30 minutes away, the busy Chapel Street precinct in South Yarra and Prahran in about 45 minutes, and bayside businesses in Port Melbourne and St Kilda in around an hour, depending on traffic.
Our eastern base means service visits and follow-up adjustments are straightforward to schedule. See our suburb pages for automatic door work in Prahran, South Yarra, Burwood and Port Melbourne.
Walk along almost any Melbourne shopping strip in winter and you will find an automatic door switched to manual or wedged open because it kept faulting. Customers struggle with heavy glass, heating pours out onto the footpath and the door no longer locks the way it should at closing time. For clinics and aged care providers, an unreliable door can become an access problem for the very people they serve.
Managers also tell us they want one contact who can install, adjust and service the door without delays. We provide clear proposals, plan work around trading and stay available for servicing after handover.
What sets us apart:
Operators and hardware are rated for the traffic your entry actually sees.
Settings, seals and locking are set for Melbourne winters, busy strips and lobby security needs.
We plan installation and servicing to keep your business open.
Doors can be linked to intercoms, fobs, card readers and timed schedules.
Your quote spells out the system, modes and components being supplied.
We provide adjustments, repairs and planned servicing after handover.
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.
Yes. We supply, install and service commercial automatic doors in Melbourne for shops, supermarkets, clinics, offices, hospitality venues and strata buildings. That includes sliding doors, swing door operators, sensors, locking and access control. Every commercial automatic door project in Melbourne starts with a free site assessment and written proposal.
As a general guide, a new automatic sliding door costs around $6,000–$15,000+ supplied and installed, a retrofit operator $3,500–$7,000 and a swing door operator $2,500–$5,000. Servicing call-outs start from about $150–$300. Access control, tenancy requirements and after-hours work can change the total, so we confirm pricing after a site visit.
Where practical, yes. We can book the main changeover early in the morning, in the evening or on a quieter trading day, and do preparation work in advance. Some shopping centres set specific work times, and we plan around those too. We confirm the schedule with you before the job starts.
Often it can. Many Melbourne strip shops have narrow frontages, so we look at single sliders, telescopic systems or a swing door operator depending on the wall space beside the opening. We measure the frontage and explain which configuration gives the best clear opening for your customers.
In many Melbourne tenancies and strata buildings, yes. Shopping centre leases and owners corporation rules often cover changes to entries, finishes and work times. We can provide quotes, specifications and product information to support your application, and we check any building requirements before ordering.
Usually they can. Lobby doors can be set to open from the intercom, fob readers or a timed schedule and to lock outside set hours. We check compatibility with your existing intercom and access control system and coordinate with your security provider where required.
Common modes include fully automatic, exit only, hold open, partial opening and night lock. Staff can switch modes with a programme selector or key switch, for example setting exit only at closing time. We set up the modes that suit your trading pattern and show staff how to use them.
Retrofitting a swing operator can often be done in a day, while a new automatic sliding door usually takes one to two days on site once materials arrive. Supply times vary with glass and system type. We confirm dates and expected disruption with you in advance.
Yes. We service and repair commercial automatic doors across Melbourne, including doors installed by other companies where parts are available. A service checks sensors, safety functions, rollers, guides, belts, locks and settings. Busier entries benefit from more frequent servicing, and we can suggest a schedule that suits your door.
