Reliable Commercial Doors, Versatile Style

Special-Lite® Aluminum Double-Acting Traffic Doors are crafted for durability, inheriting a legacy of reliability from our trusted doors and bathroom partitions. Featuring a lightweight door panel and an exclusive double-acting gravity pivot hinge, these doors utilize proven closed cell foam-injection technology for a robust system offering superior moisture and corrosion resistance. This helps ensure long-term savings in time and money. Our line of Double-Acting Traffic Doors provides various options for FRP (Rustic Wood Grain, Contemporary Wood Grain, Pebble Grain, and Sandstone), Aluminum, or Stainless Steel door faces, all designed to be durable and stylish.

Our Embossed Aluminum Traffic Doors are a top choice for versatility. With a face sheet thickness of 0.055”, they offer a modern, stylish look that complements restaurants, college cafeterias, and other environments. Smooth or Fluted textures are other options.

Key Features

Exclusive Core: Our proprietary foam injection technology results in a waterproof closed-cell polyurethane core with a minimum density of 5 lb./cubic foot. It bonds firmly to the rails, stiles, reinforcements, and face sheets to create a door panel that is only 1-1/4”. Your door is built with incredible strength and flexibility to endure high-traffic environments without extra and unnecessary weight. Compare this to commercial traffic doors with wood cores or made with a passive honeycomb filler.

Robust Construction: Mitered corner joints with corner clips create a strong infrastructure with no welds to break. Face sheets are secured on all four sides by integral channels.

Low-Maintenance Operation: Our exclusive, smooth-operating double-acting gravity pivot hinge provides reliable operation and has been tested for over 300,000 cycles. Our corrosion-resistant doors maintain their like-new appearance by routine cleaning using mild soap and water.

Custom Design Options: In addition to our stock and special anodized finishes, traffic doors can be painted with one of our standard colors or any custom color to match your facility’s design. You can also customize your vision lite’s shape and size. Choose from a standard (9” x 14”) or round (15”) TVP Gasket Lite Kit.
