Wooden Revolving Doors
The Madoors USA Wooden Revolving Door is a nostalgia-inspired, characteristic 2, 3, or 4-wing automatic motorized or manual mechanical revolving door constructed from wood with brass, copper, or bronze decorative elements — giving any building entrance an original, nostalgic, and prestigious character that modern aluminum and glass revolving doors cannot replicate. Using modern technology, automation, and safety systems, Madoors USA can produce exact copies of 100-year-old revolving door designs — combining the timeless visual character of heritage wooden revolving door craftsmanship with contemporary automation, radar detection, electronic safety systems, and ISO 9001, TÜV, OHSAS, and CE international quality certification.
Available in all-wood, RAL color, and anodized finishes with decorative copper coating, facet-cut glass, transparent laminated curved glass curved drum walls, halogen interior lighting, mechanical locking, slow passage system for elderly and disabled users, and emergency stop and manual rotation capability during power outages, the Madoors USA Wooden Revolving Door is the definitive entrance solution for hotels, heritage buildings, luxury retail, historic institutions, and any application where the entrance character demands nostalgic wooden craftsmanship rather than contemporary aluminum construction.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The Madoors USA Wooden Revolving Door structure consists of the following primary elements. Individual door panels — wings — in 2, 3, or 4-wing configurations. A center shaft with complete hardware supporting the door wings and housing the motorized drive or mechanical braking device. A circular rotunda drum — fitted with transparent laminated curved glass panels at the drum wall — providing the enclosed circulation volume between the building interior and exterior. A ceiling panel supported by the rotunda — housing either the mechanical braking device for manual speed control or the electronic motor drive for automatic rotation.
The profile system accommodates three-blade and four-blade wing configurations — with brushes applied to all profiles preventing component scratching during rotation and stopping dust ingress through the wing-to-drum-wall interface. Bearing assemblies in the lower housing — positioned at a certain height above ground — provide smooth, low-friction rotation that is protected from external factors including water, dust, and dirt throughout the service life.
Each wing is fitted with rubber and felt weather seals at the wing edges and perimeter — with the curved rotunda walls allowing the seals to fit tightly as the wings rotate, providing the draught exclusion and HVAC energy saving that is the primary operational benefit of the revolving door principle. Weather seal replacement is a planned maintenance event — seal effectiveness diminishes with age and use, and periodic replacement is an engineered component of the door system design.
The radar detection system activates the automatic door and stops the rotation at the first original position when the rotation cycle is completed. Electronic safety systems include 4 heel sensors and 2 edge column sensors — providing comprehensive occupant detection and anti-trapping protection throughout the drum interior.
The transparent laminated glass wing panels and curved drum wall glass panels provide the visual transparency expected of a premium building entrance while maintaining the wooden frame character. The aluminum plate coating in the upper section allows the automation mechanism to be accessed as required for maintenance and service. Halogen lighting lamps inside the revolving door drum provide interior illumination — enhancing the visual quality of the entrance experience and providing safety lighting within the drum.
ISO 9001, TÜV, OHSAS, and CE international quality certificates — including material certifications — confirm that the Wooden Revolving Door meets the highest international quality management and safety standards for revolving door systems.
KEY FEATURES
Exact Replica of 100-Year-Old Door Designs — Modern Technology
The defining capability of the Madoors USA Wooden Revolving Door is the ability to produce exact copies of historic 100-year-old revolving door designs — replicating the wooden construction, brass and copper decorative elements, facet-cut glass, and ornamental character of heritage revolving doors — while integrating all the advantages of modern automation, radar detection, electronic safety, and international certification. This heritage replication capability makes Madoors USA the only supplier that can restore or recreate historic building entrances with period-accurate appearance and contemporary operational performance.
Wood, Brass, Copper & Bronze Construction — Nostalgic Character
The combination of wooden structural panels with brass, copper, or bronze decorative elements provides the warm, organic visual character of heritage craftsmanship that is the primary reason for specifying a wooden revolving door over a contemporary aluminum alternative. Each material contributes a specific aesthetic quality — wood provides warmth and tradition, brass provides classic golden metallic accent, copper provides distinctive reddish-warm tone that patinates characteristically with age, and bronze provides a darker, more formal metallic presence. The combination of these materials creates an entrance character of genuine distinction and authenticity.
2, 3 & 4-Wing Configurations
Three wing count options provide different throughput capacities and rotational geometries. Two-wing configuration provides the most spacious individual wing passage width for the same drum diameter — suited to heritage and luxury hotel entrances where generous individual passage space is an architectural priority. Three-wing configuration provides the optimal balance between throughput capacity and wing width. Four-wing configuration provides maximum throughput capacity per revolution for the highest-traffic applications while maintaining the wooden heritage character.
Always Closed & Always Open — HVAC Energy Saving
The revolving door principle ensures that at least one door wing is always sealing the entrance opening — the door is simultaneously always closed for HVAC separation and always open for pedestrian passage without requiring any operator action. This continuous sealing eliminates the heat loss and cooling loss of swing and sliding doors that create a direct atmospheric connection between interior and exterior during each opening cycle. The tight-fitting seals of the curved rotunda against the wing edges maximize this energy saving — providing HVAC energy savings that are considerable across the annual heating and cooling cycle of high-traffic building entrances.
Decorative Copper Coating & Facet-Cut Glass
Decorative copper coating on metallic elements and facet-cut glass on wing panels and drum wall sections provide the ornamental detailing that distinguishes a heritage wooden revolving door from contemporary architectural door systems. Facet-cut glass panels create a prismatic light effect that adds visual richness to the entrance — particularly striking in the interior lighting conditions of hotel lobbies and institutional entrance halls where the faceted glass interacts with artificial and natural light to create decorative light patterns.
Radar Detection — Automatic Rotation & Auto-Stop
The radar detection system activates the motorized door rotation on approach detection and stops the door at the original starting position when the rotation cycle is completed — providing smooth, consistent automatic operation without the abrupt stops and restarts of contact-activated systems. Radar detection is reliable at all ambient lighting levels and in all weather conditions, providing consistent automatic operation throughout the seasons.
4 Heel Sensors & 2 Edge Column Sensors — Comprehensive Safety
The 4 heel sensors detect occupant foot position within the drum interior — preventing the door from rotating in a direction that would bring the wing edge into contact with an occupant's feet in the drum. The 2 edge column sensors detect occupant presence at the drum entry and exit columns — preventing the drum from rotating when a person is positioned at the drum opening. This 6-sensor safety system provides comprehensive occupant detection coverage for the full interior volume of the revolving door drum.
Slow Passage System — Elderly & Disabled Accessibility
The slow passage system reduces the automatic rotation speed for elderly pedestrians, disabled users, and users with mobility aids — providing the extended passage time required for safe drum transit by users who cannot match the standard rotation speed. This accessibility feature satisfies the universal design requirements for public building entrances where the revolving door must be usable by the full range of pedestrian abilities without requiring bypass door use.
Emergency Stop & Manual Rotation — Power Failure Operation
The emergency button provides immediate door stop capability — halting rotation instantly in response to any safety concern observed by users or building staff. Manual rotation by pushing the wing panels is available during both emergency stops and power outages — maintaining pedestrian access through the revolving door without motorized drive. This combined emergency stop and manual rotation capability ensures that the wooden revolving door never becomes an impassable obstruction during an emergency evacuation.
Mechanical Locking — After-Hours Security
The mechanical locking system secures the door in the closed position during non-operational periods — preventing unauthorized rotation and providing a physical security barrier at the building entrance after business hours. Mechanical locking is independent of electrical supply — providing reliable after-hours security without battery backup or electronic lock systems.
Brushed Profiles — Dust Exclusion & Scratch Prevention
Brushes applied to all door profiles prevent component scratching during rotation — protecting the wooden and metallic surfaces from the abrasion damage that would otherwise occur at the wing-to-drum interface over thousands of daily rotation cycles — and prevent dust ingress through the profile gaps, maintaining the interior cleanliness expected of premium heritage building entrances.
ISO 9001, TÜV, OHSAS & CE Certified — International Quality
The combination of ISO 9001 quality management system certification, TÜV independent safety testing, OHSAS occupational health and safety management certification, and CE marking provides the most comprehensive international quality and safety certification available for revolving door systems — confirming that every aspect of the Madoors USA Wooden Revolving Door manufacture, safety performance, and operational reliability meets internationally recognized standards.
Halogen Interior Lighting — Enhanced Visual Quality
Halogen lamps inside the revolving door drum provide warm, flattering illumination within the drum interior — enhancing the visual character of the entrance experience, providing safety visibility within the drum, and highlighting the wooden construction and decorative elements of the door in the interior lighting environment. Halogen illumination provides the warm color temperature that complements the natural wood and metallic decorative character of the nostalgia wooden revolving door.
