Commercial sliding door systems dedicate less usable space to door swings and approach clearances. For example, ExamSlide™ sliding doors can save up to 30 square feet per door. This means more square footage can be used for seating and furnishing, cabinets, mobile workstations and other essential items. Further, by eliminating door swing clearances and using no-twist ADA compliant hardware, ExamSlide is more accessible for all.

These sliding door systems are also available with drop-down bottom seals and gaskets to close up the problematic leaky perimeter gaps between the wall and door while still ensuring ease of operation. They comply with the Facility Guidelines Institute and ADA guidelines and can earn a Noise Isolation Class (NIC) rating of up to 39. Their high acoustic rating helps protect patient confidentiality, which provides necessary acute care room privacy.
As evidenced in the first point, acute care rooms can easily become crowded and inaccessible due to the number of essential items and features that need to be present. These accessibility issues increase when patients need bed lifts to move from the bed to a wheelchair and beyond. When a patient room includes a bathroom, installing a sliding door can help save valuable space while also making operation easier, both of which aid accessibility goals for added patient comfort and satisfaction. Further benefiting patient use, the ExamSlide sliding door frame can be made in a Barrier Free configuration. This design option splits the top frame to accommodate a bed lift, allowing patients to be transported through the sliding door opening.
Over the past few years, more emphasis has been placed on reducing potential points of infection. Because door handles are some of the most commonly touched surfaces in all buildings, they can host a variety of bacteria and viruses and pose a risk to hospital patients and staff. To reduce touchpoints, hands-free technology, like the AutoMotion™ system, can be added to most of AD Systems’ sliding doors. A quick wave or simple push of a button signals the door to open and close. Low-energy and quiet operators with safety sensors ensure a safe, hygienic and effortless passage.
While perimeter gaskets and drop-down seals can boost acoustic performance, they may also help hospital room doors meet isolation room requirements, per their test results to UL- standard for air leakage. Both sliding and swinging doors are often considered the weak links in a wall assembly since they can have a slight gap between the door, its frame and the floor. The perimeter gaskets and drop-down seals on the ExamSlide system quickly and effectively seal the door’s perimeter to help airflow and pressure management systems create a safe and sealed off environment.
Advanced hospital room doors can save space, create accessible rooms, mitigate infection risk and provide flexibility in healthcare design. When specified carefully, they can help create a facility that is more efficient and more comfortable for patients and staff. However, to maximize the potential benefits, design teams may need multiple systems. AD Systems sliding and swinging door systems can work together and be customized to fit a wide range of performance goals while also providing a cohesive design aesthetic.
You can’t afford the breakdown of a door in a medical facility, especially during a pandemic. From the hospital entrance doors to the individual hospital room door, each and every door needs to work flawlessly around the clock.

Revolving doors are well-suited for anyone wanting to enter or leave a building. In a hospital, however, there are more factors that are important such as the right diameter and speed to accommodate wheelchairs, walkers and gurneys.
Horton Grand® and MiniGrand® revolving door systems are ideally suited to the requirements of health care facilities. They offer impressive architectural appeal, generous openings and the extra advantage of a constant seal for energy efficiency and LEED credits.

Hospital door hardware needs to withstand more wear and tear than in most other applications. There are also more requirements for doors in health care. Doors need to provide fire protection, access for wheelchairs and hospital beds, access control, etc.
At Door Services Corporation, we carry quality commercial door hardware to maintain and repair all your doors to make sure they are reliable day and night, year-round.
Our team at Door Services Corporation has vast experience with hospital doors. Call us to address your specific needs, such as: breakaway, self-closing, UL smoke infiltration, AIIR isolation, card access interface etc.
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. Our 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.
In an ICU environment it is important that patients are always in full view through the glass door. When there is an urgency, 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 and patients alike appreciate the design details we provide, 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.
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 Door Services Corporation we have extensive experience with the maintenance and repair of these drive-thru windows in healthcare.
