Interior sliding door systems easily glide into place but have not historically been able to provide more than a moderate seal. However, the ExamSlide™ sliding door system has perimeter and drop-down seals that offer smoke ratings to UL 1784 specifications. They create a tight seal that can support pressurization and reduce air infiltration to meet the unique safety and security requirements of many pharmacies, isolation rooms and labs. With hardware that is compliant to Americans with Disability (ADA) standards, ExamSlide also helps make these spaces more accessible for all.

ExamSlide can be specified with self-closing mechanisms that softly close the door after operation to ensure doors are not accidentally left ajar without compromising access for those with limited mobility. Further, these sliding doors are fully compatible with security features like magnetic locks or electric strikes for key card access and keyed options to fit the particular needs of a room. Additionally, ExamSlide can be fitted with hands-free operators, like AutoMotion™, to limit touchpoints, which supports hygienic and contamination-conscious operation. For doors where automation is not employed, antimicrobial options are available. Designed to suppress the growth of microorganisms, these coatings can help reduce the transfer of germs on some of today’s most frequently touched places, such as door handles.

While an inherently functional healthcare solution, these interior sliding doors can also meet a range of design aesthetics. Available with flush wood or full lite doors with durable aluminum frames and several glazing options, ExamSlide can help pharmacies, isolation rooms and labs strike a balance between safety, privacy and daylighting goals to promote staff and patient wellbeing.
