Author Topic: Automatic opening sliding doors. Kyle Watkins Expert Film Handler Posts: 185 From: Stuart, FL, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 10-14-2004 03:15 PM                     Does any theater use these. See lots more older and handicap people thes days. I rather have it only open when coming in, not going out, not sure on local laws with that. What are you thoughts on these types of doors.  |  IP: Logged Brandon Willis Expert Film Handler Posts: 216 From: Richmond, VA, USA Registered: Apr 2004 posted 10-14-2004 08:40 PM                     That would be pretty cool. If you have manual doors, however, holding the door open for someone is excellent customer service and will make people think highly of you and reccommend you to their friends.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 10-17-2004 01:24 PM                       Whenever I walk through automatic sliding doors, I always hear: "Warp speed, Mr. Sulu!" Anyone? Be honest.  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!

What might be more practical for a theatre would be the push button handicap access doors. They operate manually just like any other door, however, if someone presses a button, the door slowly opens automatically.  |  IP: Logged Greg Davis Film Handler Posts: 96 From: Vista, Ca, USA Registered: Sep 2004 posted 10-21-2004 12:34 AM                     That would be real useful for people with armloads of concessions trying to get in the theater. Tricky thing would be making it either transparent, not, or partly, due to light coming in, sound, etc, depending on where the doors are located on the theater.  |  IP: Logged
