Benefits of Cold Storage Traffic Doors

Double Action Traffic Doors, Uses and Advantages

Double Action describes a door that swings in both directions (in and out). Because of this feature it always swings away from the person or load passing through it allowing easy and safe passage.

Primary usage is anywhere a separation of areas is needed for visual, environmental, or sound control. Kitchens in restaurants and institutions take advantage of their easy passage for waiters to carry food to and from the customers dining area without having to use their hands to open the door. Retail stores use double action doors to maintain a separation from the not-so-attractive warehouse area to the sales (customer) area. Food markets also find them useful for efficient stocking from the storage areas. Perimeter gaskets allow double action doors to be used in an area where a temperature differential exists as in walk-in coolers. Gate of Café types can be used for multiple personnel and convenience applications.

Double Action doors facilitate small or very large openings by using in a single panel or in double panel (pair) configurations.

The Eliason “Easy Swing” system is the ultimate in efficient double action traffic doors with many advantages. Usage “shock” is spread throughout the door components so it is absorbed without damage. It opens with a gentle pressure and has a designed-in delay in the open position. It then returns slowly, but positively, to a closed position. Mounting hardware is designed to strengthen the door jamb. A variety of attractive material/décor options can match the interior designer’s plan. Also the multitude of models available provides the correct door for the needed application.

Protective options can be placed on the doors to provide attractive armor for rough pallets, carts or other devices passing through. Vision panels can be sized and located to meet regulatory and safety needs.
