In a project in Kfar Saba, a front entrance door and a rear entrance door were installed in the building.
When both doors are open on a day with a strong wind, a "wind tunnel" forms that can fling the door open and hurt a person standing next to it.
The solution in such a case is to install an aluminum "wind barrier" in front of the door, which keeps the wind from entering the building directly.
The wind barrier has to be built of safety glass with an attractive aluminum frame, as befits the entrance of a residential building.
Another option is to replace the existing doors with sliding doors.
A case in which a lobby door that blew open in the wind injured a resident is described on the page Defects we found in buildings. You can read about other problems with lobby doors, such as the door sagging, on the page Doors and signs.
