What is a revolving door? A simple explanation of revolving doors!

A revolving door is also commonly referred to as a revolving door. It consists of two to four door wings attached to a vertical central axis. In Germany, the rule is that the wings of a revolving door must always rotate counterclockwise.

Areas of application for revolving doors

A revolving door has one key advantage: it enables energy savings in large buildings with high foot traffic, where many people continuously enter and exit. Due to its design, airflow is reduced, which helps save heating costs in winter and cooling costs in summer. The door wings of a revolving door are usually made of glass.

For this reason, revolving doors are commonly installed in buildings such as large shopping centers, medical centers, hospitals, airports, or furniture stores—anywhere people move in and out throughout the day.

However, revolving doors also have a significant disadvantage—apart from their high acquisition costs, which are often less relevant in the construction of large buildings: they can cause injuries. Elderly people, people with disabilities, and small children in particular should not pass through revolving doors unaccompanied, as the rotation may be too fast and could lead to entrapment. Although revolving doors must meet strict safety regulations, it is still recommended that vulnerable individuals do not use them alone.

In the hospitality and restaurant industry, revolving doors are even prohibited as the sole entrance to a building. The German Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs classifies them as not barrier-free.
