A pass door sits within the bottom section, so there is a threshold to step over. Some ranges offer low-threshold designs that are easier to use, but it is never as level as a separate side door.
Does it affect the operator?
Yes. The operator is linked to a safety switch so the main door cannot move while the pass door is open.
Which options are available in North Shields?
- Low thresholdOn selected ranges.
- Lock and handleMatched to the door.
- Safety interlockStops the door running when the pass door is open.
