The short answer
A hotel lobby usually combines a revolving door, which limits air exchange, with a sliding door beside it for luggage and wheelchairs. We supply both and set the sensors so a trolley does not trigger a close.
- A revolving door manages airflow, a sliding door manages luggage
- Sensors are set for trolleys, not only people
- Fire and escape arrangements are agreed with building management

Questions people ask
Revolving or sliding door for a hotel?
Many hotels fit both: a revolving door for the main flow and a sliding door for luggage and access. We help you decide from the layout.
Can the door be installed at night?
Often yes, by agreement with the hotel. We plan with your engineer. Ask us for the draft and read it line by line before you agree.
What if a door fails during check-in?
Doors have a manual release, and we advise on a maintenance rhythm that reduces breakdowns.
How are sensors set for luggage?
The detection area and delay are set so trolleys clear the door before it closes.
Can you service doors by other makers?
In most cases yes, after seeing the equipment.
Does a revolving door stop in an emergency?
A properly fitted revolving door has safety devices and a defined escape route. We plan this with management and your consultant.
