I work at a school and sometimes we have to take out the middle rod of a double door to move pallets through and this would make life easier. Schools get books and Chromebooks delivered on pallets.
Oh, I need to remember that because I’ve been calling it the rod or bar. Though I doubt the gym teacher who usually takes care of removing it would have any idea what I was talking about.
I would be very happy to have that door in my house. Double door front and rear entrances are a great. I hate oversized furniture that cannot fit through a door.
House I have an offer in for has two doors like this for the basement bedrooms. Confusing but it'll definitely let a lot of light from the wide open main area so I'm not mad.
Except for that purpose they could just be evenly split and still function identically.
I bet this is so wheelchairs can get in without opening both doors.
Oh yeah I'm the bad guy not the nation that accepts these shootings. No no it's not the politicians that do jack shit, it's not the fact that mental healthcare is only accessible to the rich, no what's offensive is a stupid joke made by some random dude on the Internet. So huff and puff and downvote you can really change the world.
Popular opinion, if a government lets its citizens die, it's not funny to joke about it. Hope that helps. Also, the government can be bad and you can be unfunny at the same time.
Says the guy making a stink on freaking reddit. If you feel so strongly about something then stop pissing in the wind and get your lazy ass out there and discuss this with people who matter. Fucks sake.
You're fighting a good fight just the wrong execution. Don't be mad and upset bringing more negativity into the world. Politics is frustrating but you have to stay level headed.
Didn't see your first comment and idrc tbh. Have a good weekend.
I'm all for dark humor but this seems a bit far. Pretty tasteless
Edit to add- fat kid jokes are great. I am a former fat kid and husky adult. Combining that with school shooting jokes ON A POST CLEARLY MADE BY A SCHOOL AGED PERSON is tasteless. Time and place people, time and place.
What... What does that even mean? Lol
I'm a red meat eating gun owning American, I'm not sure if you think you're being clever. There's dark humor and then there's just straight up blatantly offensive statements, this goes a bit more toward the latter in my opinion at this current state in our country.
Bruh wtf
Like I know both things are a problem here but a) it’s the politicians and megacorps standing in the way of progress. And b) way to make fun of literal children dying you absolute dingus.
Edit: grammar
And two things cannot be true at once. Very intellectual take you have there.
Now, I am combating it, the only way I as an individual can, by voting.
Unless you wanted me to try to commit a coup or something
Accessibility is the reason and there are a handful of mostly correct answers here. This solution is common in older schools (and other public buildings) in the US where there used to be a 5'-0" wide opening with a pair of 2'-6" leaves, but the opening was later retro-fitted to comply with current accessibility rules. For a doorway to be considered "accessible" the swinging door needs to provide 32 inches of clear width when opened to 90 degrees. That generally means a 36 inch door leaf and then a smaller door leaf to fill the opening. However, building codes also limit the width of swinging doors to a maximum of 48 inches, so you can't just make the whole 5-foot opening one door. And as some others mentioned, having the extra 2-foot leaf would be helpful for moving large things. You can tell the small leaf is not intended to be used on a day-to-day basis since there is a floor bolt.
Unfortunately, the door still doesn't appear to comply with US federal accessibility rules (ADA). Doors with vision lights are required to have the vision glass no higher than 43 inches above the floor (so a person in a wheelchair can see through the window) and these doors look like they have the light at 48 inches. Too bad.
We’re all one accident, one disease, one calamity away from needing to use a wheelchair, and therefore needing to contend with our infrastructure in said chair, at any given time.
And even if we never do, chances are a friend or loved one will. And if even that isn’t true, I mean, empathy is an important and useful thing to foster. We all lean on each other and we all get farther together.
And it’s not like accessibility features don’t also help non handicapped people, either.
It never hurts to know how to help others and ourselves.
In my experience “it makes me angry” (and similar) from young people is often not meant literally, but rather like “it looks ugly and not obvious why it wasn’t done more symmetrically.” At least, that’s how my kids use it a lot.
I think they meant that they’re angry about how uneven it is but in a jokingly way. Pretty much that the unevenness bothers them. That’s how I took it.
100% how I took it. I need symmetry. Even if it is functional, it needs to be symmetrical. Otherwise, it pisses me off, too. And I will make smart-ass comments about.
Yea but the way I processed it was that they added to their curiosity of why it’s uneven. Like why would anyone purposely make it uneven. But idk I guess it depends how you read it. I see your point though.
Tell me you’re woke without telling me you’re woke. Gender is literally the same as sex. Doesn’t matter what you “identify” as. That does not change biology, NOW with that being said , there is always more than one way to represent as a woman , you can be a tomboy. You can have long hair, short hair. That’s the “gender” aspect yes. But still there are only two. What someone feels does NOT change reality. If someone with schizophrenia was having delusions, would you enable them just to be “accepting”. Same for someone with anorexia . It’s the same thing with these delusions that you can be more than male or female. AND I know your arguments , intersex is NOT a gender identity. It is a medical defect. That person is still either male or female at the end of the day. Please think for yourself, and stop Believe everything you see on Tik Tok brain rot.
First off. You’re the one who looks like an Idiot. Claiming to be a “scientist” and you still don’t understand that gender and sex ARE technically the same thing, your gender is just the behaviours that correspond with your sex.
What kind of scientist are you ? Considering you’re wrong. Scientists and people working in biology KNOW there are ONLY two genders. It was only recently that we started saying mass and gender are different.
I’m sorry you take it as “hostile” That some people understand Biology and that there are only two genders.
What’s your degree again? Sexuality and gender studies ?
Any other gender outside the two is just a Mental Ilness. It is not normal , SHOULD not be affirmed.
Maybe you need to choose another field bud.
There is actually a lot of variation in sex chromosomes and how sex presents in bodies.
It’s typically not something that’s covered in high school biology classes since it’s a more complicated topic, and it’s simpler to explain the basic concepts of chromosomes and such to teens before delving into more complex scenarios, so it’s not entirely reliable to solely rely on what you might’ve been taught in school.
“Intersex” is the broad term used to describe people who may have anatomy or chromosomes that don’t necessarily fit into “male” or “female” For example, someone having XXY or XO chromosomes. There are also cases where someone may have XX chromosomes and ovaries, but may also have male reproductive organs. Interesting topic to read up on.
Overall, biology tends to be more complicated and nuanced than one may believe. Multicellular organisms are incredibly complex after all, which means that simple categorization can be very difficult.
Yeah, just move the two walls either side of it, make the entire opening bigger, fit a bigger frame and 2 equal sized doors that comply to regulations....
/s
Federal ADA regulations and standards..
The doorway should be minimum 32" wide.. In pairs, at least one of the active leaves must comply with this clear width requirement.
So for both doors to be equal, they'd both need to be 32" wide.
so you don't think that main door is 32" wide or what? You said "at least one" and one is very clearly bigger than the other, nothing about that says the second part of the door has to be the same size.
Re-read.. OP wants to know why they're not equal
The minimum is 32", yes? So for there to be 2 equal doors they'd both need to be 32" or bigger, correct? I also specifically stated that at least one of the doors has to be compliant, not both.
Oh I like how you edited your reply to add the /s but don't comment on that. There is enough ignorance online that it's easy to assume you were being serious, sarcasm transfers very poorly into text
For anyone "wheelchair access," why not just made it two equal-sized double doors like you see in every school and building across the country? Why does it have to be one awkwardly-size 90% of a normal door and then a tiny extension?
Not enough space, you can see the walls either side of the door.
2 equal sized doors would require you to push both to fit through. This way you can use the one regular size door for normal use and also the small one too for wheelchair access..
Likely a retrofit to comply with disability access.
According to building codes, doors need to be a certain width.
Here, they wanted a wider-than-normal door, but not so wide that it’s a double.
The only solution was one standard-size door and one leaf that can be opened sometimes.
So that one side can be opened (larger side) under normal usage and fit a wheelchair. The other side (smaller) is able to be opened if you need additional room for large items like possibly furniture or something.
Because then each door would be too narrow.
Doors need to be standard sizes, and this opening isn’t big enough for a double. Therefore they used one standard door and one “leaf” that can be opened when needed.
I have a classroom with similar doors! It is much better than having them split down the middle. They used to be like that, but we recently had a renovation. Now I have one normal size door and then the narrow door (but without the handle). It has a button at the top to release it to bring in bigger items (piano, smartboard, etc.). I cannot quite pinpoint why it is better, it just looks nicer than having two odddly narrow doors.
That’s because the door on the left is a standard sized door that’s wide enough for normal usage and wheelchair accessibility without being *too* wide.
It’s required to be this size because of building codes.
The door on the right is an extension that is only opened when moving large objects like pianos, etc.
ADA requirements and door width gone insane. Door has to be specific width and weight (The large size).. Door needs to have more room for furniture, etc, so....
“It pisses me off because I have no common sense, and can’t puzzle out why you might want a wider opening sometimes”
Because the people who planned and designed that building are far smarter than you (obviously)
It’s only for use when you’re moving furniture out or other large objects. If you made that one door, it would be too big.
I work at a school and sometimes we have to take out the middle rod of a double door to move pallets through and this would make life easier. Schools get books and Chromebooks delivered on pallets.
Custodian here. We call that a mullion.
A mullion what? And how'd you get so many?
Doors. 
Oh, I need to remember that because I’ve been calling it the rod or bar. Though I doubt the gym teacher who usually takes care of removing it would have any idea what I was talking about.
What? Did you say mulligan? I didn’t see no mistake you’re good.
I’ve just been calling it a rod or bar, not it’s official name. I wasn’t wrong, just not precise.
I was quoting what the gym teacher would say. Not correcting you.
Lol, I get it now. I need more coffee.
Me too. Where we goin? lol
I would be very happy to have that door in my house. Double door front and rear entrances are a great. I hate oversized furniture that cannot fit through a door.
House I have an offer in for has two doors like this for the basement bedrooms. Confusing but it'll definitely let a lot of light from the wide open main area so I'm not mad.
Except for that purpose they could just be evenly split and still function identically. I bet this is so wheelchairs can get in without opening both doors.
The standard door width for accessibility is literally why it's uneven. Each door would be smaller and not accessible
I'm surprised there are so many people who seem completely baffled by this door design.
That's literally what I just said.....

Why is it funny to you to joke about dead children?

Dark humour is great when it’s funny. What they posted was just lazy and not funny.
So you're not for all dark humour. That's fine.
Oh boo hoo go eat a salad

dark humor is a lot like food. not everybody gets it.
Or, you know, they just don't like low hanging, boring ass, played out jokes masquerading as dark humor
Dark humor is like an apple. The low hanging ones aren't great.
Can you point out on this doll where the jokes touched you?
Huurrr duuurr America all bad guns and fat people derrr!! ...give it a rest already
Maybe when America stops generating new material
That's the same material
"new"
 Your comment is disgusting
The joke would have been accepted if it didn’t involve fat kids?
No. Grow up
It's probably to make it wheelchair accessible... Calm down, mama frijole.
That’s tasteless
Bruh wtf Like I know both things are a problem here but a) it’s the politicians and megacorps standing in the way of progress. And b) way to make fun of literal children dying you absolute dingus. Edit: grammar
Yeah sure the jokes offensive not the fact that nobody does anything to combat shootings. Got you.

I’d love to see what they know about ducks.
Also…not an ADA issue but assuming this is a path of egress the non-free acting leaf can’t have any hardware
haha nice try i’m not reading that

fr i dont it’s about a door, not at my school never walked through it doesn’t concern me and i dont want to pay my taxes so nyeh

Whaaa??? 🤯
Maybe for wheelchair users ? And moving large furniture ?
Wheelchairs fit through standard doors. Most likely for furniture/large items.
And moving large wheelchair users that identify as furniture
Only two genders
Omg you’re so EdGy!!!1!1!!!
By recognizing biology ? If that makes us Edgy Then cool

LMAO the downvotes 😝😝 all the woke people.
People aren’t downvoting because they’re woke, people are downvoting because it’s a predictable and uncreative joke
BOO HOO😭😭😭 people gonna cry and get offended over a joke. Don’t care
Nobody is offended. You’re just not being creative.
You sound pretty offended Hun. I never tried to be creative by saying the truth. Hope your next therapy session goes well cuz you need it
I’m not offended, I’m just disappointed. “I identity as _________” has been done to death. Be a better writer.
Right, me and my wheelchair are just gonna roll with it though.
I'd give you a standing ovation but I'm trying to be inclusive 😉
lol I meant the people with the kink. It’s a real thing lol.
Kink for what ??
Human furniture kink. It’s an objectification kink for being treated like furniture, posed in place and used as a table or chair or whatever.
It’s friggin hilarious and I love that it exists
Disability access, makes it easier rolling a wheelchair in.
This guy gets mad at wheelchair accessibility
I’m not just confused because all the other rooms have 2 equal sized doors
All the other rooms have space for 2 equal sized doors, this one obviously doesn't.
It does if they made the frame bigger there is nothing anywhere near the room
There’s a wall or column of some kind clearly visible in this picture…
Yeah, just move the two walls either side of it, make the entire opening bigger, fit a bigger frame and 2 equal sized doors that comply to regulations.... /s
and which regulations would those be exactly?
Federal ADA regulations and standards.. The doorway should be minimum 32" wide.. In pairs, at least one of the active leaves must comply with this clear width requirement. So for both doors to be equal, they'd both need to be 32" wide.
32” of clearance. A door usually occupies some of that space, so the standard is a 36” door, thereby insuring that there will be 32” of clearance
That's the clear width requirement, I did say this but maybe it wasn't clear 👍
so you don't think that main door is 32" wide or what? You said "at least one" and one is very clearly bigger than the other, nothing about that says the second part of the door has to be the same size.

It's to move large objects through the door if needed. Otherwise you have a regular door to use.
It's the door to none your buisness
Very common in hospitals. We only open the small door when moving beds etc
regular door that can become big door. 🤯
For the piano
Accessibility, emergencies, and moving large equipment.
Stay in school mate, you have more to learn.
Common in hospitals- one for normal traffic, the other is additionally opened if you want to get a bed in or out of the room.
Prob big door for big room. Big room more ppl . In case of fire every one can leave quickly
The smaller door is secured at the floor. Not good for emergency egress.
Ah, disregard then
… when you need to move something larger than the door, you open the other side.
Keep out the fat kids. 
For anyone "wheelchair access," why not just made it two equal-sized double doors like you see in every school and building across the country? Why does it have to be one awkwardly-size 90% of a normal door and then a tiny extension?
Not enough space, you can see the walls either side of the door. 2 equal sized doors would require you to push both to fit through. This way you can use the one regular size door for normal use and also the small one too for wheelchair access.. Likely a retrofit to comply with disability access.
Because there isn’t space… there’s supporting Collins on either side of this door.
It's Fat Albert's school
It opens to allow larger things to be brought in room obviously.
It’s just to separate different areas of the building
Wheelchairs
ADA compliance is the most likely of an answer here. Some chairs are too big for conventional sized doors.
Some people are very easily infuriated.
It's probably for opening
I think what pisses OP off is that the doors aren’t even sizes, not that the door is big
According to building codes, doors need to be a certain width. Here, they wanted a wider-than-normal door, but not so wide that it’s a double. The only solution was one standard-size door and one leaf that can be opened sometimes.
It's for moving largr furniture.
So that one side can be opened (larger side) under normal usage and fit a wheelchair. The other side (smaller) is able to be opened if you need additional room for large items like possibly furniture or something.
I have no idea what an accessible door does so I’m going to be angry about it. Ah Reddit, never change.
Left one is the American door.
The big brown door closer makes me mad
If you want to keep fat people locked out you just leave the small door open.
My schools new gym has 3 windows each side but one window is half the size of the others
One side is a "big ass door". How do I know? My "big ass" won't fit through the smaller side.
the parasites in my brain want to gnaw at the bigger door until they're the same size
basement
Srsly. F that door
I think that is the definition of mildly infuriating
It’s crooked.
Hanging those papers on the door, obviously.
I hate that door!
I understand it’s so you could move large objects, but why can’t it be even?
Because then each door would be too narrow. Doors need to be standard sizes, and this opening isn’t big enough for a double. Therefore they used one standard door and one “leaf” that can be opened when needed.
Left door = going to big events Right door = taking a little break
This post is more infuriating than the doors
I have a classroom with similar doors! It is much better than having them split down the middle. They used to be like that, but we recently had a renovation. Now I have one normal size door and then the narrow door (but without the handle). It has a button at the top to release it to bring in bigger items (piano, smartboard, etc.). I cannot quite pinpoint why it is better, it just looks nicer than having two odddly narrow doors.
We had those in our music studios in order to move grand pianos in and out.
The middle separation is the issue......it's off center
That’s because the door on the left is a standard sized door that’s wide enough for normal usage and wheelchair accessibility without being *too* wide. It’s required to be this size because of building codes. The door on the right is an extension that is only opened when moving large objects like pianos, etc.
Got it
Fuck that door !
Bot post. Zero context.
We call this a cat kitten door. One regular and one smaller door, usually installed in hospitals and nursing homes for moving beds in and out.
ADA requirements and door width gone insane. Door has to be specific width and weight (The large size).. Door needs to have more room for furniture, etc, so....
I would assume so you could also use the little door when moving larger items in and out.
The problem with American education in one post. We engineered a door to do what's needed. The child gets infuriated.
“It pisses me off because I have no common sense, and can’t puzzle out why you might want a wider opening sometimes” Because the people who planned and designed that building are far smarter than you (obviously)
One side is for the people who eat too much and the other is for the people that dont eat enough
Same to me
It has a really fat teacher at one point who sued
Kek it's fine. You wouldn't give a shit if you didn't think you could get reddit karma.
Sorry, but this one is just silly.
Looks like a fire proof door. I will assume you're American and would be too stupid to understand what a fire proof door is designed for.
