Have you ever heard of "swing doors", “impact doors” or “traffic doors”? Swing doors (impact doors/traffic doors) are once again attracting attention for their effectiveness as a countermeasure against the situation with COVID-19. Here is an explanation of why.

What kind of door is a swing door?

A swing door (impact door/traffic door) is a door that can be opened and closed freely in both directions, swinging inside and outside, using special hinge hardware as its axis. The core material is made of lumber (a type of plywood) or special resin honeycomb, and the surface material is made of stainless steel or aluminum, which features excellent strength and durability.

In addition, the swing door is designed to rise to open obliquely upward and then returns to the original position using its own weight by installing the upper and lower metal fittings in different positions. It opens with a light force and closes slowly and quietly after passing through, eliminating unnecessary movements which also contribute to work efficiency.

Due to their excellent functionality, Uniflow Swing Doors are installed in many places, such as convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants, as well as factories and warehouses.

Reason why swing doors are effective infection control

Why are swing doors effective against infectious diseases? It has to do with the features of this door. Uniflow Swing Doors do not require turning a doorknob to be opened and closed like ordinary doors. For example, when loading and unloading luggage, simply push the door with a cart or dolly to open it, and then it closes itself naturally. Since it does not require a lot of force to open and close, it can be opened with the elbows or the sides of the body. In other words, you can open and close the door without touching it with your "hand".

Viruses can enter the body through the eyes and mouth via the hands. As Uniflow Swing Doors do not have knobs or handles that can be touched by an unspecified number of people, using them can greatly reduce the risk of infection.

In addition, as an option for infection control, there are:
■ Hand plates with antibacterial film
■ Ventilation louvers
That can be attached to the door.
