Door Services Corporation, an authorized Horton Automatics partner and provider of commercial automatic door solutions, has announced the expansion of its Horton product offerings with two new systems: the upgraded Horton HD Storm™ sliding door system and the first-of-its-kind Horton Behavioral Health Profiler® ICU. These additions address critical safety and compliance needs in demanding environments such as hurricane-prone regions and behavioral health facilities.
The enhanced Horton HD Storm™ now delivers performance ratings of up to ±85 PSF (pounds per square foot), tested to Miami-Dade standards and carrying the North American Fenestration Standard Limited Water designation. Available in single slide and bi-parting full breakout configurations, the system supports panel weights up to 300 lbs. per sliding panel in bi-parting setups and features a concealed belt drive with a 1/4 HP DC motor. Door Services Corporation offers full installation and service capabilities for this hurricane-rated sliding door solution, which can be explored alongside other automatic door applications on their website at https://doorservicescorporation.com.
The Horton Behavioral Health Profiler® ICU is described as the industry's first purpose-built sliding door system engineered for behavioral health environments. It addresses five critical facility needs: preventing patient self-harm, staff harm, patient barricading, weaponization of door components, and entanglement of IV lines. Key features include an anti-ligature design with no pinch points or exposed fasteners, anti-barricade functionality with emergency override, tamper-proof vision panels with optional controlled blinds, and mechanical self-closing operation. The system meets UL 1784, UL 325, ADA, FGI Guidelines, and Joint Commission standards, and is available in sizes up to 9 feet wide by 8 feet high. Door Services Corporation is positioned to deliver this solution to inpatient psychiatric hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and emergency room behavioral health suites.
