The story of STANLEY Access Technologies begins with the invention of automatic doors. It was 1930 when Horace. H. Raymond, an engineer at The Stanley Works, took on a personal project and built a pneumatic operator. He then attached it to his pantry door, and after hosting a dinner party with other Stanley coworkers, the value of the invention was
realized.
On Nov. 23, 1931, Raymond submitted an application for his “apparatus for operating doors” with the U.S. Patent Office. Three years later, a patent for the world’s first pneumatic operator with photo-electric, or light beam, controls was published (No. 1978093A).
Novelty, as well as the practical value of The Stanley Works “Magic Door,” appealed to progressive business people of this era, particularly owners of retail stores. The first installation was at Wilcox Pier Restaurant in West Haven, Conn. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology also had the door operator installed on the institute’s iconic entrance hall in Cambridge, Mass. This door operator is still in place and running today, more than 80 years later.
