Prepline PTD3084 30 x 84 In. Single Panel Aluminum Swinging Traffic Door with 9 x 14 In. Window

The Prepline PTD3084 is a single panel aluminum swinging traffic door for restaurants, bars, supermarkets, and commissaries that need a fast, hands-free pass between the kitchen and the front of house. It covers a 30 inch wide by 84 inch tall door opening with a single swinging panel that servers push through in either direction, so a loaded tray goes from the line to the dining room without a free hand ever touching a knob. The door also works as a sound and sight barrier: guests hear less of the expo line and see none of the controlled chaos behind it.

Two-Way Swing That Keeps Traffic Moving

The door swings through in both directions and mounts for either left or right opening, so you decide on site which way the panel should favor once you see how your servers actually move. Gravity hinges return the panel to center after each pass. When the kitchen flow changes, say the dish pit moves to the other side of the wall, the same door reverses instead of being replaced.

Lightweight .063 In. Anodized Aluminum Construction

Each panel is formed from .063 inch anodized aluminum, thick enough to shrug off cart bumps and tray edges yet light enough that a server opens it with a hip or a shoulder while both hands carry the main course. Unlike painted steel doors that chip and show rust at every scratch, anodized aluminum keeps its finish through years of daily contact and wipes clean with the rest of the line at close. A reinforced back spine stiffens the panel exactly where carts and bus tubs hit it, so the door stays flat and true instead of developing the oil-can flex that makes older traffic doors rattle.

Built-In Eye-Level Viewing Window

A 9 by 14 inch window is built into the panel at eye level, so staff on both sides see who is coming before the door moves. That one piece of glazing prevents the classic swinging door accident, a tray of finished plates meeting the door face-on, and it lets a manager glance into the kitchen without stepping in.

Included Top and Bottom Mounting Kits

Top and bottom mounting kits ship with the door, so installation on a standard 30 by 84 inch opening is a same-day job with common hand tools rather than a custom fabrication project. The hardware sets the panel gap and swing tension, and the 1 inch panel depth keeps the door inside the jamb line where it cannot snag passing carts.
