Telescopic Sliding Door Wide Access Narrow Headers
Frameshft's automatic telescopic sliding door uses a multi-panel design to achieve wide-span openings where standard sliding door geometry cannot fit, serving hospitals, malls, and industrial facilities across Singapore.
When Standard Sliding Doors Cannot Fit
Standard automatic sliding doors require header space proportional to the full door leaf travel — a constraint that eliminates them from many hospital corridors, mall entrances, and industrial thresholds where wide openings are operationally essential. Frameshft's telescopic sliding door solves this with a multi-panel system that stacks panels in a fraction of the header run required by a single-leaf design. The result is a wide-span, high-traffic entrance that fits within the architectural envelope already in place — no structural modification required to gain the opening width you need.

01 / 04Panel GeometryMulti-Panel Design for Tight Headers
The telescopic system stacks multiple door panels that travel and retract together, achieving a wide clear opening within a header run that a single-leaf sliding door cannot occupy. Engineered for constrained architectural envelopes.
Key Specifications
- 01
- Multiple panels retract in tandem
- 02
- Wide clear opening achieved
- 03
- Fits constrained header runs
02 / 04Opening CapacityWide-Span Openings for High Traffic
Where pedestrian throughput demands a broad entrance — hospital main lobbies, mall atria, or industrial dispatch zones — the telescopic configuration delivers the clear width required without expanding the structural header space available.
Key Specifications
- 01
- Broad clear width for crowds
- 02
- Suitable for high-traffic lobbies
- 03
- Hospitals, malls, and industrial zones
03 / 04Space EngineeringSolving the Constrained Header Problem
Standard sliding doors park the open leaf beside the aperture, consuming wall space equal to the door width. The telescopic system eliminates this requirement by folding panels over one another, freeing the adjacent wall zone entirely.
Key Specifications
- 01
- No full-leaf park space needed
- 02
- Adjacent wall zone preserved
- 03
- Addresses standard door limitations
04 / 04Sector FitEngineered for Demanding Environments
Frameshft's telescopic sliding door is specified across hospitals, retail malls, and industrial facilities — environments where both opening width and operational continuity are non-negotiable requirements that a standard door geometry cannot satisfy.
Key Specifications
- 01
- Hospital and healthcare verified
- 02
- Retail and mall operations
- 03
- Industrial facility compatible
