Outline

The One Two T40 door for toilets which opens both when pushed or when pulled won the Universal Design Grand Prize in the 2006 Good Design Shizuoka competition.

Universal Design Elements

• Opening patterns can be freely selected from four modes: Always Open (automatic opening), Always Closed (automatic closing), Folding Inwards, and Folding Outwards.
• Because there is no need for a rail on the bottom, wheel chairs or baby strollers can also pass through easily.
• Smooth movement and limited closing force contribute to safety.
