Door Services Corporation, a member of the Horton Automatics family, has announced the expansion of its Horton product portfolio with two significant additions: the upgraded Horton HD Storm™ sliding door system and the industry-first Horton Behavioral Health Profiler® ICU. These systems are designed to meet the demands of high-wind environments and behavioral health facilities, respectively, and are now available through Door Services Corporation across 18 North American locations.
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 (NAFS) Limited Water (LW) designation. This upgrade extends to larger openings through expanded HDXL size options, building on a previously trusted product line. Available in single slide and bi-parting full breakout configurations, the system supports panel weights of up to 300 lbs. per sliding panel in bi-parting setups. It is powered by a concealed belt drive with a 1/4 HP DC motor, with an XL version for extended height openings. Door Services Corporation offers full installation and service for hurricane-rated sliding door solutions, and more information on applications can be found on their automatic door applications page.
The Horton Behavioral Health Profiler® ICU is the first purpose-built sliding door system in the industry engineered to meet the complex safety, access control, and durability demands of modern behavioral health environments. It addresses five critical facility needs: preventing patient self-harm, preventing staff harm, preventing patients from barricading within a suite, preventing the weaponization of door components, and preventing 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 safety glass vision panels with optional controlled blinds, and a mechanical self-closing operation with an optional quiet, low-force mechanism. The system is certified and compliant with UL 1784, UL 325, ADA, FGI Guidelines, and Joint Commission standards, and offers a non-institutional design with smooth, flush finishes. It is available in sizes up to 9' wide x 8' high, suitable for inpatient psychiatric hospitals, rehabilitation centers, emergency room behavioral health suites, and court-ordered evaluation facilities. Door Services Corporation is positioned to deliver this solution as part of the Horton Automatics family, with more details on healthcare sliding door solutions and hospital door applications.
These additions come as Door Services Corporation, built on quality products and long-term partnerships, continues to serve as an authorized Horton partner with AAADM certified technicians, fully stocked service vans, and 24/7 emergency availability. The company covers regions including Eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, DC, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, California, Indiana, and parts of Canada. The new Horton systems are expected to enhance safety and compliance for facilities facing extreme weather or behavioral health challenges, offering robust, certified solutions that meet rigorous industry standards.
