To Our Customers

The purpose of this manual is to familiarize you with your automatic door system. It is
essential that you know your system and that you recognize the importance of maintaining
your door system in compliance with the industry standards for safety as outlined in the
ANSI A156.10 - 1999 American National Standard for Power Operated Pedestrian Doors.
Your local Horton Automatics service representative will be familiar with the aforementioned

standards, as well as all applicable local codes and Horton Automatics recommendations for
power operated pedestrian doors. Maintenance and adjustments performed by this service
representative/technician will ensure safe and proper operation of the automatic door unit.
