Horton Automatics | Automatic Sliding Doors 3

AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS

The automatic sliding door is a very efficient way to accommodate simultaneous two-way traffic flow. It can also

be used very effectively in controlling directional traffic situations such as one door for entry-traffic and another

for exit-traffic – this is the typical set up of large retail establishments. When a vestibule air lock is considered,

the distance between door banks should be a minimum of 9 feet (12 feet is preferred) to provide an adequate

detection zone for the activation sensors.

Automatic sliding doors are available in single, bi-part and telescopic slide configurations. These are furnished as

complete standard packages or can be surface mounted or overhead concealed. Slide doors typically include an

operator, a header track, a lock, carrier wheels, sliding door panel(s), sidelite panel(s), jambs, and

activation/safety system. Door systems can be designed for full breakout (all panels break out for emergency

egress) or partial breakout. Multiple finish options and custom designs are also available.

Horton offers five drive mechanisms:

PROFILER® SERIES 2000B ELITE BELT DRIVE This 4” x 6” header is a Horton exclusive. The slim design

maintains harmony with store fronts which are typically 4” or 4.5” in depth providing attractive sightlines.

The 2000B system is available in single slide configurations ranging from 7 to 9 feet and bi-part

configurations ranging from 8 to 16 feet. In addition, the Series 2000 header is utilized in Horton’s

hurricane packages and is Miami-Dade approved for design pressures up to ±55 PSF. Click here to review

the specifications and here to view the architectural details.

PROFILER® SERIES 2000 LINEAR DRIVE In addition to the benefits listed above, the Linear Drive is a

Horton exclusive design in which a travel block with a built-in clutch describes a helical path along a ½”

stainless steel rod to open and close the door panels. There are fewer moving parts and wear items

resulting in a quiet and dependable system. The 2000 Linear Drive system is available in single slide

configurations ranging from 7 to 9 feet and bi-part configurations ranging from 8 to 16 feet. Just as the

2000B, the Linear Drive is Miami-Dade approved for design pressures up to ±55 PSF. Click here to

review the specifications and here to view the architectural details.

PROSLIDE® SERIES 2003 BELT DRIVE The ProSlide® is ideal for high traffic applications. This heavy

duty belt drive system is engineered to provide long life and quiet operation. Click here to review the

specifications and here to view the architectural details.

PROSLIDE® SERIES 2003 SA BELT DRIVE This system shares the power train and header design of

the ProSlide® 2003 and its panel hanger brackets are designed for surface mounting as opposed to

overhead concealed mounting.

PROSLIDE® SERIES 2003 TELESCOPING BELT DRIVE This system utilizes the Series 2003 power

train in a single telescoping configuration. Click here to review the specifications and here to view the

architectural details.

HD SERIES 2001 BELT DRIVE The HD Slide boasts an 8” x 8” mammoth header that houses a

powerful system designed for large heavy commercial and industrial applications. The HD is the

mechanism of choice for all glass Elegant® entrances as well as platform screen doors for people

mover systems. The HD Series uses the same power train as the HD Storm hurricane-rated system

and is Miami-Dade approved for design pressures up to ±80 PSF. The HD Storm is the highest rated,

largest envelope hurricane door system on the market. Click here to review the specifications and

here to view the architectural details.

HD SERIES 2500 ALL GLASS ELEGANT® The frameless styling of the Elegant® series adds distinction to

your facility by showcasing the inner beauty of a building while offering the advantages of automatic

operation and energy conservation. Single slide configurations are available in ranges from 7 to 9 feet

and bi-part configurations ranging from 9 to 14 feet. These systems come standard with ½” clear

tempered glass. Click here to review the specifications and here to view the architectural details.

Horton Automatics | Automatic Swinging Doors (also known as full power doors) 5

AUTOMATIC SWINGING DOORS (ALSO KNOWN AS FULL POWER DOORS)

The automatic swinging door is normally used for directional or one-way pedestrian traffic. Typically, one door is

used for ingress and another for egress. Horton does not recommend the use of automatic swinging doors for

two-way traffic applications for full power applications. When exceptions are made, the application must be well

planned in consultation with experienced designers with perhaps a remote switch/push plate to activate the door

well in advance of an approach. The key issue is synchronizing the activation and safety sensors to ensure

smooth traffic flow is achieved. When a vestibule air lock is considered, the distance between door banks should

be a minimum of 9 feet (12 feet is preferred) to provide an adequate detection zone for the activation sensors.

Horton recommends the use of an aluminum swing door panel when a Horton Automatics operator Series S4000

or S7000 is utilized. This practice ensures that the door is constructed to accommodate the demand of automatic

applications. Design professionals often find that supplying an operator for use on existing doors is generally

limited to applications where the need to closely match adjacent entrances in the area is critical or when fire

rated doors are under consideration.

Automatic full-power swing doors can either be supplied as complete packages, or simply as the operator with

header and drive arms. These systems may also be mounted as overhead-concealed operators for direct drive

applications or surface mounted for push and pull applications. Automatic swing door products are designed for

single, pair or double egress applications.

Singles and Pairs Double Egress

When supplied as a complete package, this will generally include an operator, a header, a lock, door panel(s),

jambs, guide rails, electronic activation/safety system and all applicable safety hardware. When existing door

panels are utilized, then an operator with header and drive arms are supplied along with an appropriate activation

and safety system.

In all instances, guide rails may be required to protect the swing area of the door panel(s). If the doors swing

against a natural barrier such as a wall, the guide rails may be removed from consideration. Click here to review

the specification and here to view the design sheet.

Explosion proof pneumatic swing operators are also available for industrial applications.

Horton Automatics | Low Energy Swinging Doors 6

LOW ENERGY SWINGING DOORS

Low-energy swinging doors provide accessibility for the physically challenged while allowing other pedestrians to

use the door as a normal manual swinging door. Typically, low-energy operators are applied to existing doors in

order to meet Americans with Disability Act (ADA) requirements. Examples of typical applications include hospital

bathrooms and revolving door entrances.

Automatic low-energy swinging door operators are designed for applications requiring ADA compliance. These

operators are available in single pair or double egress configurations. This type of operator is usually activated

with push plates (the industry defines this as “knowing act activation”). The unit includes a header, an operator

and a drive arm. Because the door moves at an intrinsically safe speed, safety sensors are not required by code.

Some users require extra sensors for added protection (this is not required and does not affect the safe operation

of the low energy entrance).

Horton Automatics offers two Low Energy Swing Systems:

Horton Automatics | Automatic Folding Doors 7

AUTOMATIC FOLDING DOORS

Folding doors are a space saving solution where the opening width is restricted to approximately 6 to 8 feet and

there is a need to move traffic in both directions. Folding doors are a sound choice in narrow corridors as it

maximizes the opening path (85% of the total wall-to-wall width can be used as a walkway). Single fold doors are

best suited for directional or one-way traffic, whereas bi-fold doors are best suited for two-way traffic.

Automatic folding doors are furnished as complete packages that typically include an operator, a header, a lock,

pivot hardware, door panels, guide rails, and activation/safety system. These systems are offered in either single

fold or bi-fold configurations.

Back to Table Of Contents

Horton Automatics | Revolving Doors 8

REVOLVING DOORS

Manual and automatic revolving doors can be used for high-traffic applications requiring simultaneous entry and

exit or controlled access. Revolving doors have the advantage of reducing the amount of air exchanged from the

building to the outside and vice versa, creating an air lock that helps manage energy use and utility expenses.

This occurs as the rotating wings do not allow for the direct flow of air to go through the entrance, effectively

acting as an “always opened, always closed” entrance. Empirical studies (MIT et al) indicate that the amount of

air that can be exchanged through a revolving door is less than 10% of what is exchanged through a swing or

slide entrance. This phenomenon translates into significant savings in energy consumption and CO2 emissions. In

areas of high wind and high humidity, savings are particularly substantial, resulting in a payback of months.

Horton has developed an interactive simulation tool that allows owners and facility managers to assess the

savings in Kilowatt/Hour, CO2 reduction and air conditioning equipment – please call us for a FREE energy

assessment of your entrance. Conversely, you can utilize FREE of charge the Horton Energy, CO2 Savings and

Payback simulation software and see for yourself the results.

Horton automatic and manual revolving doors are manufactured as complete packages in virtually any finish the

specifier desires. Horton offers three-wing and four-wing designs. Smaller doors have center shaft drive systems.

Larger doors also offer center core displays. Systems under 9 feet in diameter are typically offered for security

and controlled access applications. All Horton revolving doors are factory-equipped with all necessary activation

and safety systems for safe operation and code compliance.
