Slide door: A pair of doors that slide open from the middle to allow entry when activated. Single slide doors are also available.
Revolving door: Typically three or four door wings that revolve around a central axis, allowing for continuous movement of pedestrian traffic while providing an airlock-like barrier between indoor and outdoor environments.
