The Greek scholar Heron of Alexandria created the earliest known automatic door in the 1st century AD during the era of Roman Egypt. The first foot-sensor-activated automatic door was made in China during the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui (r. 604â618), who had one installed for his royal library.
Pre-hung doors are doors that come from the manufacturer installed in a door frame. Pre-hung doors are purchased with the hinges attached to the door and frame, unlike traditional doors that come with no frame and no hinges.
