Swing door hinges make the life of the reception team in their demanding everyday work easier

The Parkhotel Schmid in Adelsried combines a familiar atmosphere with the highest level of professionalism, constantly updating interior design and attention to detail. As part of a large-scale renovation project for part of the hotel, the entire entrance area was redesigned. The centrepiece of the spacious foyer is the reception area. This is where it all comes together, because besides the guests, also many events – from seminars to large celebrations – are managed from here.

Access to the spacious reception area is protected by a double swing door.

The swing doors were fitted with brass DICTATOR swing door hinges. The material ideally matches the colour scheme of the foyer.

What are the employees who work in the reception area at Hotel Schmid particularly happy about?

  • The swing doors can be easily locked at an opening angle of 90° in both opening directions simply by opening them completely. Thus, even bulky items, such as guests’ luggage, can be brought into the area behind the counter without the swing doors constantly getting in the way. In order to close the swing doors again, one just needs to lightly pull on the swing door by hand and the hinges are simply pulled out of the hold-open and then close on their own as usual.
  • The noise nuisance caused by the doors swinging back and forth is considerably less than before. This is because DICTATOR Hawgood swing door hinges require very little movement to close compared to other swing door hinges.

And this is how the swing door hinges make their small, unobtrusive contribution to the smooth operation of Hotel Schmid.

The double swing door protects the access to the inner reception area. Due to the construction of the swing door hinges, the leaves are always exactly centred.

No matter in which direction you go through the door: if the door leaf is opened up to 90°, it remains open at that angle until it is released from the hold-open by lightly pulling on it.

The swing door hinge ensures that the passage width can be fully used when the door is open. Due to the special shape of the swing door hinge, the door is “folded away” from the doorway area.
