Automatic Door Day:
Celebrating Innovation in Accessibility and Convenience
Horton Door's Automatic Door Day is an observance that celebrates the innovation and impact of automatic doors in modern architecture and daily life. Recognized by those in the industry and beyond, this day highlights the technological advancement and practicality of automatic doors, which have become an integral part of public buildings, commercial spaces, and more.
An automatic door opens automatically, typically upon sensing a person's approach. It uses various technologies, such as motion or optical sensors, to trigger its opening mechanism, thereby providing user hands-free operation. This feature offers convenience and enhances accessibility, especially for individuals with disabilities or those carrying heavy or bulky items.
The invention of automatic doors dates back to the 20th century. The first known automatic door was invented in 1931 by Horace H. Raymond and Sheldon S. Roby for the Wilcox's Pier Restaurant in West Haven, Connecticut. This early version used a mat actuator – when someone stepped on a mat in front of the door, it triggered the opening mechanism. Since then, the technology has evolved significantly.
Modern automatic doors use sophisticated sensors and microprocessors. These advancements have made doors more reliable, safe, and energy-efficient. Today's automatic doors come in various forms, including sliding, swinging, revolving, and folding designs, each suited to different types of buildings and spaces.BENEFITS OF AUTOMATIC DOORS
