ABSTRACT:
A door system of the swinging type to neutralize air draft effects on the door, which is conceived to allow panic exit and to psychologically induce the user to pivot the latter in a predetermined direction. This door system includes a pair of wings or panels having a releasable magnetic connection allowing normal bodily pivoting of the two wings as a simple swinging door and also allowing, for instance under panic, outward opening of the wing which normally opens inwardly. This door system includes a stopper and a door frame relatively arranged to define an oblique closing position for the door, and also includes a resilient strip of adjustable resilience engaging the stopper to prevent inadvertent opening of the panic wing.
