The natural first choice of passage door

The first thing you should do is, figure out the function of the door and the characteristics of the surroundings. Often, a door chosen is not suitable for the environment or takes up too much space.

The choice largely depends on the purpose: will the door serve as a passage for staff, emergency exit, material entrance/exit, or for some other function. For instance, emergency exit doors must meet certain mininum widths depending on local building regulations and the number of people that may have to pass them.
