Door Services Corporation, a member of the Horton Automatics family and a provider of commercial automatic door solutions in North America, has announced the expansion of its Horton product offerings with two new systems: the upgraded Horton HD Storm™ sliding door system and the Horton Behavioral Health Profiler® ICU, described as a first-of-its-kind solution in the automatic door industry.
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 builds on an already trusted product line, which previously offered smaller sizes and a different PSF rating, and now extends to larger openings through expanded HDXL size options. The system is available in both single slide and bi-parting full breakout configurations, with panel weight support of up to 300 lbs. per sliding panel in bi-parting configurations. A concealed belt drive with a 1/4 HP DC motor powers the system, and an XL version is available for extended height openings. For facilities in hurricane-prone regions, this upgrade offers enhanced durability and compliance with stringent building codes. Door Services Corporation provides full installation and ongoing service capabilities for the HD Storm™ through its hurricane-rated sliding door solutions.

The Horton Behavioral Health Profiler® ICU is a purpose-built sliding door system 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 in door features. Key features include an anti-ligature design with no pinch points or exposed fasteners, anti-barricade functionality with emergency override and flush interior profile, tamper-proof safety glass vision panels with optional controlled blinds, mechanical self-closing operation with optional quiet low-force mechanism, and compliance with UL 1784, UL 325, ADA, FGI Guidelines, and Joint Commission standards. The system is available in sizes up to 9' wide x 8' high and is suited for inpatient psychiatric hospitals, rehabilitation centers, emergency room behavioral health suites, and court-ordered evaluation facilities. As part of the Horton Automatics family, Door Services Corporation is positioned to deliver this solution to healthcare facilities requiring the highest standards of patient and staff safety.
