UAE

Hi-Life supplier, installation & repair in Dubai

Supplied, installed, serviced and repaired by Mount Everest Automatic Doors.

Hi-Life is a name that appears on gate and door automation in the UAE, often with limited public documentation. That affects how we approach it: the unit in front of us tells the story.

Hi-Life units in Dubai

We usually find them on villa gates, compound entrances and some glass sliding doors in areas such as Al Barsha and Al Quoz. Owners often do not know the model, and the original installer may no longer be reachable.

What Mount Everest Automatic Doors does for Hi-Life

We are an independent company. We read the labels, trace the wiring, test the behaviour, and write down what the unit is and what it needs. That takes longer than looking at a catalogue, but the advice stays honest.

  • A gate that stops partway suggests a sensor, limit or friction fault.
  • A gate that does nothing suggests supply, fuse or board.
  • A motor that turns without moving the leaf points to the release or drive parts.
  • Remote faults: batteries, receivers and antennas, then new handsets where possible.

Before suggesting a board repair or replacement, we measure supply and test each safety input.

Check before you call

  • Is the gate on mains and is the release locked?
  • Is the photocell beam clear and clean?
  • Try the remote close to the receiver.
  • Photograph every label, the control box and the motor.

Spare parts

We cannot promise parts before seeing the unit. After inspection we tell you what can be sourced and what a compatible replacement would be.

For a new automation job we survey weight, size, track or springs, and the supply, then explain what fits. A service visit covers lubrication, release, limit settings, safety devices and an obstruction test. We work on sliding gates, swing gates, glass sliding doors and residential garage doors alike.

Dubai conditions

Summer sun heats control boxes, humidity brings damp into junction points, and sand collects in racks and tracks. Cleaning, sealing and a stable supply prevent a lot of repeat visits. If the gate belongs to a community or a managed compound, check with the building owner or community management before changes.

To plan the work, request a site visit and quote.

Safety firstDo not force a moving gate or a door held by a spring, and switch off the power before you look at an opener. Springs and motors can injure.

02Questions

Questions about this brand

All questions and answers

Can you help if I have no idea which Hi-Life motor I own?
Yes, plenty of owners have no paperwork. At the site visit we work out the operator type, read the labels fitted to the motor and its control box, and observe its behaviour. Sending a picture of the label beforehand helps. Afterwards we describe the fault in simple terms and say which parts we can source, without assuming another brand's parts will fit.
Hi-Life gate opens but will not come back closed, what should I look at?
Treat it as a safety signal problem. Smudged or misaligned photocells, a damaged wire or a sensor stuck open will block closing, and an auto close timer may have been turned off. Clean the lenses and clear the beam. If the gate still stays open, we test every board input to find the broken circuit and repair it properly without bypassing any safety device.
Hi-Life gate ignores the handset, how do I tell remote from gate?
Try a wall button or keypad if there is one. If the gate responds, motor and board are fine and the trouble is the radio side: battery, receiver or aerial. If it ignores everything, suspect power, board or drive. We test remote, receiver and supply to tell which. A receiver that lost its memory can be retaught, and spares added where supported.
What does a Hi-Life gate or door opener service include?
There are three strands. Mechanical covers rollers or hinges, rail, rack, springs, bolts and release. Electrical covers power feed, fuses, board and limit setup. Safety covers photocells, edges and reversal when blocked. We grease, wipe detectors and cycle the equipment many times. You are given a clear summary of results and items to keep an eye on.
How do I prepare for a Hi-Life gate or door visit?
Make sure the opening and the box that controls it can be reached, with the route cleared of vehicles and people. Describe the symptom, its first appearance and whether it is intermittent. Collect every handset, keypad and wall switch. If an intercom, alarm or entry system is wired to the opener, say so, because it might be contributing.
Do I need landlord approval to install an automatic sliding door in my Dubai shop?

Yes, in most cases you should get written permission first. A tenant who changes the shopfront or fits a new door operator is altering the building, so the landlord, and sometimes the Owners Association or mall management, will usually want to see what is going in.

Ask your landlord what drawings or details they need. We can prepare a simple scope after a free site visit, covering the operator, glass, sensors and any power supply work. Approvals may be needed from community management or the authority, so confirm with them before work starts. See our automatic sliding glass doors page for the options.

Can an automatic sliding glass door cope with Dubai summer heat and sand?

Yes, provided it is specified and maintained for local conditions. Heat above 45 C stresses control boards and motors, and fine desert sand collects in the floor track and on the carriage wheels, which is the most common cause of noisy or slow doors.

A good installation keeps the controller out of direct sun, uses sealed brush strips at the head and jambs, and leaves the track easy to clean. Regular cleaning of the track and a check of the belt and rollers matter more in Dubai than in cooler cities. Our team installs and services sliding door operators across Dubai, and a maintenance contract keeps these checks on a schedule.

What happens to an automatic door in Dubai if the power goes off?

It depends on how the entrance was set up. Many sliding doors can be fitted with a battery backup that lets them open, or stay open, for a limited period. Without one, most can be pushed open by hand once the lock is released.

Decide what you want before installation: fail open, fail closed, or open on battery. For shops and clinics, a manual release plus battery is a sensible mix. Dubai Civil Defence requirements for fire exits may apply to escape doors, so confirm with the building consultant. Read our guide on automatic door power failure backup in Dubai for more detail.
