Tom Sutton Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 These type of doors are known as double swing doors and you can get them to a FD30s standard but they do not come cheap. Nevertheless they do have uses in various situations but as bedroom doors I do not think they are suitable because when they are opened outwards they would create an obstruction in the corridor. Also there is a health and safety situation when the doors are opened outwards it could hit somebody walking in the corridor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
