Restaurant Swinging Doors
When calculating the door size for your opening you do not want to measure the doors being replaced. The doorway itself should be measured and most companies ask for those dimensions in inches.
Some companies will ask for 6 total measurements as shown in the illustration above. These doors are made on order and will be custom fitted to your doorway opening - even if not perfectly square.
Most typical construction materials:
- aluminum
- stainless steel
Some wood doors are available but typically framed in metal. Most of the doors using wood in the construction are wood core, however, the doors are available in solid metal as well. Some doors are designed to dampen sound, insulate, while others are simply to fill the entry way for visual purposes; separate the customer from the kitchen.
Companies offer optional color finishes, stainless steel or ABS impact plates, cane bolts, locking collars, and stainless steel hinges and guards are available. Doors should be equipped with hinges that allow door to swing both ways.
