FORMERLY MCKINNEY DOOR SOLUTIONS & AMERICAN DOOR PRODUCTS - NOW UNITED AS AMERICAN DOORS.
A door that swings both inward and outward on spring-loaded or gravity-return hinges, eliminating the need to pull or push in a specific direction. Double-acting doors facilitate two-way traffic flow in high-traffic areas.
Hinge types include double-acting spring hinges (self-centering), gravity pivots (door returns by gravity), and floor closers with double-acting function. Hold-open feature allows doors to stay in any position rather than self-centering.
Common applications include restaurant kitchens, hospital corridors, retail stockrooms, and anywhere traffic flows both directions. Impact-resistant doors with vision lites prevent collisions. Door bumpers protect walls when doors swing past 90 degrees. Not permitted for fire doors or egress doors in most occupancies. Related: swing door, door closer. Shop double-acting doors.
