Prepline PTD7284 72 x 84 In. Double Panel Aluminum Swinging Traffic Door with 9 x 14 In. Window

The Prepline PTD7284 is a double 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 72 inch wide by 84 inch tall opening with two swinging panels, giving servers and bussers a dedicated lane in each direction so a loaded tray coming out never meets a bus tub going in. 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

Both panels open from either side, so staff push through in whichever direction they are walking and the doors return to center behind them. In a busy service corridor that two-lane flow is the difference between a steady stream of plates and a pileup at the doorway during the Friday rush. Keep outbound food on one panel and inbound bussing on the other and collisions stop being part of the shift.

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 each 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 72 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.
