Have you considered putting a hollow metal door in your rolling door opening? A pass swinging door, also known as a pedestrian wicket door, can add a lot of flexibility to your facility. Instead of opening the entire rolling door every time someone needs to walk in or out, a smaller swinging door allows easy access for foot traffic, helping you maintain energy efficiency and reduce heat or cooling loss.
The door pictured below shows a great example of this in action. At Cafe Grumpy in Park Slope, Brooklyn, the swinging pass door allows employees to receive small shipments of raw materials efficiently, while still keeping the facility secure. This setup prevents unnecessary wear and tear on the main rolling door, streamlines daily operations, and ensures that employees don’t have to struggle with lifting or opening heavy doors just for foot traffic.
