Specialized Applications

Our team at Horton Automatics Ontario has vast experience with hospital doors. [Call us] to address your specific needs, such as breakaway, self-closing, UL 1784 smoke infiltration, AIIR isolation, card access interface etc.

Pressure Rooms

Hospitals have air infiltration requirements for negative, positive and combination pressure isolation rooms. These can be used for an operating theatre and airborne isolation infection rooms

Horton Automatics offers solutions to address these needs. Doors can be activated with touchless sensors or hands-free door openers to avoid contamination. The alternative mechanical self-closing system requires no power.

Isolation room doors greatly reduce air leakage and include tested perimeter seals and self-closing devices. These systems are easy to clean and reduce the risk of nosocomial infections. They are available in electromechanical or no power self-closing.

Atmospheric Sliding Doors are designed to meet clean room standards. These doors are excellent for areas such as labs or pharmacies where ultra cleanliness is required.

Critical Care and Intensive Care Systems

In an ICU environment it is important that patients are always in full view through the glass door. When there is an urgency then the full breakaway feature allows for all panels to swing out of the way. The resulting large opening allows swift removal of patients or equipment.

We are proud to be part of the Horton Automatics family, which consistently develops first-to-market systems such as the self-closing smoke-rated ICU/IMU/CCU door systems and the first airborne infection isolation room door that requires no power.

Staff as well as patients appreciate design details such as Mini-Blind and Opaque glass for privacy, light control and hygiene. Larger openings for moving beds and equipment are also now possible with the smoke-rated telescoping door system. 

Security Windows

Hospitals require security windows for drive-through pharmacies, labs, supply rooms and other secure interior areas. These windows can be equipped with transaction drawers, bullet resistant glass, a choice of counter tops and other custom features.

At Horton Automatics Ontario we have extensive experience with the maintenance and repair of these drive-thru windows in healthcare.

Controlling the spread of germs is very important in any medical setting.  To minimize the risk of contaminants and airborne particles, hospitals and clinics need cleanroom doors with airtight seals that open and close at high speed without having to touch the door. Reliable doors play a critical role in the protection of your patients, your healthcare professionals and your visitors.

Horton Automatics Ontario is a leader in the specialty doors and cleanroom doors market. We offer medical automatic sliding doors in a range of configurations. All doors meet stringent medical-application requirements and can be applied in the most demanding environments, e.g. self-closing smoke-rated ICU doors and airborne infection isolation room doors that don’t require power.

Lead-lined sliding door systems are also offered for radiation protection and are custom manufactured to meet federal standards for radiation shielding of healthcare and industrial facilities. Download Horton's product brochure on HD-Slide Series, 2001-LL.
