When most people think of automatic doors, sleek glass panels or aluminum frames likely come to mind. But did you know that timber doors can also be fully automated? At Horton Automatics, we specialise in providing innovative door automation solutions — and that includes beautiful, functional wooden doors.
Why Automate Timber Doors?
Timber doors bring warmth, character, and durability to any space and now, with Horton’s automation systems, they can also deliver unmatched convenience, safety, and accessibility.
Whether you’re looking to upgrade hospital patient room doors, classroom entrances, or office suite entryways, automating timber doors offers a blend of aesthetics and functionality.
Benefits of Automating Timber Doors
1. Touchless Entry for Hygiene & Convenience
With Horton’s low-energy or full-power swing door operators, timber doors can be equipped with touchless sensors or push plates, helping reduce the spread of germs — ideal for healthcare, education, and high-traffic environments.
2. ADA Compliance Made Easy
Automating a timber door is a simple way to make your space fully accessible, complying with ADA guidelines and improving inclusivity for all.
3. Preserving Architectural Integrity
Have a design vision that includes rich wooden finishes? Horton’s automation systems can be installed with minimal visual impact, preserving the natural look of timber while adding smart functionality.
4. Retrofitting or New Construction
Whether it’s a retrofit on existing wooden doors or part of a new building project, Horton’s systems are flexible, reliable, and built to last.
Applications
Automated timber doors are ideal for:
- Healthcare facilities (patient rooms, exam rooms, staff areas)
- Universities and schools (classrooms, labs, libraries)
- Commercial offices (executive suites, boardrooms)
- Hospitality and retail (restrooms, private dining rooms, VIP lounges)
