Horton doors we see in Toronto buildings

Since 1960, Horton Automatics has been a leader in automatic entrance systems. Horton invented the first sliding door and has since grown its range to automatic swing operators, revolving doors and specialty healthcare applications.

Most commercial entrances fall into one of these types:

  • Sliding door: panels that move sideways along a track.

  • Swing door with an operator: a hinged door opened by a motor unit above it. See the page on automatic operators.

  • Revolving door: wings that turn around a centre post.

  • Healthcare entrance: a door built for a hospital or clinic setting.

If there is a model label on the header or frame, write it down before you call.

Common Horton door problems

Most repair calls start with a door that stays open, stays shut, moves slowly, makes noise or ignores people walking up to it. Note which of these you see and when it happens:

  • The door is stuck open or stuck closed.

  • Travel is slow, jerky or stops partway.

  • You hear grinding or clicking as it moves.

  • The door does not open when someone walks up.

  • A swing door does not close fully or latch.

The cause is found on site, so describe the symptom rather than guess at the part. If the fault is in the manual hardware on the same opening, ask about panic bars, door closers and emergency exit devices on the same call. For closer rules, see the post on door closers and building-code requirements.

Maintenance plans for property managers and condo boards

Service agreements for property managers and condo boards put regular checks on the calendar, so an entrance is looked at before it fails rather than after. Ask about a service agreement when you call, and list the automatic doors on your site.

Regular servicing keeps an entrance working for everyone who uses it. If an opener serves a washroom or office, see the post on barrier-free door openers.
