What Is A Traffic Door? - How Do I Get Inside And Outside Access?
A traffic door allows quick and easy access from the inside and outside of your bi-folding doors, without having to slide and fold any panels. Just as you would have with a conventional back door. In most cases, if your chosen style does not allow for a traffic door, you would be left with no outside access. However our New Pendulum range of handles allows for inside and outside access without the need for a traffic door.
Bi-folding doors slide in two's, so an uneven number of panels folding in any direction will always result in an odd panel that can operate independently of the sliding panels. This odd (spare) panel is known as a traffic door, and offers quick and easy access from both inside and outside, using a standard lever-lever door handle. Subsequently an even number of panels will result in no traffic door and no outside access.
