Has anyone ever experienced double doors with one bolted door?

You know the kind I'm on about, each door is aproximately 75% the size of a double door, which should result in a door 1.5 times bigger. Butfor some rason beyond my feeb-like comprehension, one is always bolted to the floor/ceiling. thus resulting in a FAR SMALLER DOOR. Of the two schools I've been to, they have both frequently employed this cunning strategy to parcel me off. One of them even had it in a wheelchair (centre.

A WHEELCHAIR CENTRE!

they even handed out a quizz asking how the school could be made more wheelchair-friendly.

Heres an idea: DON'T BOLT THE DOORS!

This is very true

More embarassing is when you push or pull the locked double door unknowingly and it doesnt budge

I've asked teachers about them, and they either smile knowingly or look like they have been told of this for the first time.

They know why. But they won't tell us.

Yeah, what the hell is with that!? Its so annoying when you are racing some stranger to get in front of the queue and one of the doors is always locked. And whenever you want to leave the dining hall people are blocking the exit. Its like a bloody rugby match.

And thats all I have to say on the matter.

Yep, that happens every weekday - double doors leading to the lecture room, and in/out the eating area, but they all insist on using the right side. Same goes for the entrance, though that's understandable as one of the doors is more difficult to open.

What is it with most places and double doors ? It's like there is an unwritten rule that never shall both be open or used at once. At university ( a place where you would expect a semblance of common sense) people only use one door when there are double doors, they stand waiting for people to come through ! I, on the other hand, just use the usually unlocked other door. Some people....

Last time I had to do a questionaire like that, on the question about improving the place I put "Take down the pictures of David Beckham from student reception".

And there's a Spar near where I live that has a double door feature that really isn't that much bigger than a normal door, and still they lock one. Most people can barely fit through, and that's when they're turned sideways.

I say Spar, it used to be Spar, then Londis, then Dillons. In the space of about a month it went through three different signs.
