Designed with a six inch wide and high header, the ProSlide™ 2003 sliding belt drive system is used when an architect is looking for something that isn't standard or heavy duty. This system is our Texas sized belt drive system.
This heavy duty belt drive door system is engineered to provide long life and quiet operation in a high traffic environment.
The idea came to Lew Hewitt and Dee Horton to build an automatic sliding door back in the mid-1950's, when they realized that swing doors had difficulty operating in windy Corpus Christi. So Lew and Dee set out to invent the automatic sliding door to circumvent the windy conditions.
Horton Automatics Inc. was formed in 1960, placing the first commercial automatic sliding door on the market and literally establishing a brand-new industry.
