Here’s What We Provide
HANDS-FREE DOOR OPENER
Are you trying to find ways to reduce germ spread in your commercial building? Doors are among the most germ-infested items in hospitals, factories, and senior-living communities. You can easily transmit virus to others just by using the doors of your building.
Horton Automatics can offer a range of products that allow for hands-free operation of automatic doorways to ensure safety and comfort for your occupants. These products are frequently used in areas where hygiene is critical, such as restaurants, restrooms, and laboratories. These products are an easy and effective way to prevent cross-contamination of germs or viruses on doorknobs.
Cross Contamination is possible when dirty door handles are used
Cross-contamination can lead to germ transmission between people when they touch or press buttons on handicap doors, pull doors open, and even touch handles. A single doorknob can spread germs within hours in public bathrooms, factories, commercial buildings and hospitals.
The following are some of the most common germs that can be spread by door handles that aren't clean:
E.coli - bacteria that causes food poisoning
Viruses such as influenza, seasonal flu, etc.
Streptococci is a bacteria that causes cellulitis and strep throat
Fungi are plant-like organisms that can cause rashes
Protozoa is a single-cell organism that causes diarrhea and nausea
It is important to prevent germs from spreading on surfaces like door handles.
Cleaning up germ hotspots - It is important to wash them well in order to avoid spreading germs. This takes time and effort. An alternative to replacing mechanical door handles is to install automatic switches.
Use Hands-Free Switches to Keep Your Environment Free From Germs
The popularity and accessibility of hands-free technology is increasing. Bluetooth devices and voice control can be found on many products. They are now part of everyday life such as the touchless switches for lights.
Commercial buildings are no exception. Motion sensors and wave sensors can open doors and keep the building's entrances clean.
Some industries that take advantage of hands-free doors switches are:
Healthcare facilities - Automatic doors in waiting rooms, ICUs and offices
Cleanroom environments – waving at open doors in research laboratories and laboratories
Industrial buildings - Touchless switches in manufacturing, chemical processing and control rooms
Sliding doors for business environments, such as shopping centers, retail outlets and warehouses
Wave sensors for commercial properties, condos, apartments, and offices
Other than keeping doors clean from germs, hands-free switches offer many other benefits. Hands-free switches offer additional benefits, such as:
Increased comfort for occupants
Property value increases with state-of the-art technology
Compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act
Automatic door closings save energy
