Why are public toilet doors always left open?
Surely many people have wondered why the toilet is not designed to be closed but left open. The answer will be in the article below!
In public places, especially crowded offices, toilets are often designed close together, if you pay close attention you will see that any room has a gap under the toilet door. Is that a random idea of the contractor, or is there any other special reason?
1. Create a more "hurried" feeling
When going to the toilet, most people tend to sit longer in rooms with closed doors because it is isolated from the noise outside, making people feel "freer", some people even take the opportunity to "gossip", surf the internet to their heart's content in there.
In crowded places, the situation of being overloaded or having to wait to go to the toilet is a daily occurrence. For this reason, the gap under the toilet door will make users feel more rushed and faster when they are no longer "alone" and know that there are many people waiting outside.
2. "Rescue" when running out of paper
Surely many people have encountered this "awkward" situation when they are going to the toilet and at the "climax"... run out of paper. Don't worry, ask someone in the next room or outside to pass you the paper. At this time, the gap under the door or toilet wall will come into play.
3. Avoid lingering odors in the room
It would be "terrible" if you entered the toilet while the smell of other people was still strong in there. Therefore, the gap under the door will help the odor to gradually dissipate, not linger in the room, making it "easier for the person behind to breathe".
4. Emergency precautions
If you are stuck in the toilet for some reason, you can crawl out through the door gap. Or if someone falls inside, others will easily discover and help in time.
5. Cost savings
This is the most practical reason, because installing a longer door will cost more money and effort. Not only that, short doors will help the floor or the bottom corner of the door to be less scratched due to pulling in and out many times.
6. Easy to check the room is empty
When you are confused about whether a room is occupied or not because the door is closed, just lean over and look through the gap, you will have the answer without having to knock on the door to ask.
7. Prevent negative behaviors
It sounds paradoxical, but for "private" public places (such as toilets, bathrooms, etc.), the less private they are, the more negative behaviors such as doing "that", fighting leading to injuries, etc., or even illegal behaviors such as drug use, injection, etc. can be prevented.
8. Easy to clean, avoid mold and damage to the door
The gap under the door will help the water in the bathroom drain more easily than a closed door design, avoiding slippery floors, easy to clean and water will not stagnate causing mold or damage to the door.
