Swing & Pivot Doors provide unique solutions for special applications.

In some instances the visual presence of a door is not desired. EPD can camouflage the door with cladding that matches the surrounding structure.

The small joint lines of the doors almost disappear to yield a very clean looking "wall that operates".

Three sets of EPD Bi-Swing Pivot Doors are used to control below ground parking traffic at Minnesota Life, St. Paul, MN. The EPD doors were designed to match the reveals and sight lines on the building.

The center traffic lane operation can be reversed for incoming (morning) & outgoing (evening) traffic.

The door was designed to "disappear" into the wall.

EPD Low Range Blast Resistant Swing Door

Personnel doors are commonly added to EPD's vertical lift doors used in convention centers. This vertical lift door at the Liberty Place in Philadelphia, PA. is used to bring cars, boats, and other oversized materials into the mall area of the multi-tenant building. When the vertical lift door is closed, the egress doors in the lower panel appear to blend into the building's architectural facade and the vertical lift door "disappears".
