 So welcome, welcome to Unhinged with the DoorDork. Today, we do have a couple of special guests. I'm calling them the Sustainability Sisters. Hey everyone, Amy Musanti, Director of Sustainability here at Osa Abloy. Hi everybody, my name is Erin Spadebeckia, Program Manager for Sustainability. Okay, let's jump into the next one. Hmm, okay. Oh, wow. So the conspiracy part of the closer. And that's one way to hold open the door, you know? Well, I mean, yeah, I mean, the notice above says this door to remain unlocked during normal business hours. And so perhaps the cone is there to make sure that everyone is very aware that the door is unlocked and open and will stay that way. And you're never gonna hit your head. There was a special promotion going on. Buy a closer, get a cone. I mean, you're right, Amy, it definitely stands out. You're noticing that door is there. My guess is this is probably also an exit of some sort, seeing that it looks like a main entrance. So, hey, it's here for you to escape if someone comes in. Is that it? Just the one hinge there? I believe it's got a top pivot and a bottom. It does, okay. And I was like, wow, that's also interesting. That's an energy efficient with the door just kept open the whole time. Exactly. There you go, Erin, there you go. There you go. That's why I threw this one in there. Not very energy efficient to just leave that door wide open, right? No, but very welcoming. Maybe it was a balmy 72 inside and out. Maybe, hopefully, like Florida or something and you're letting Krakatows in. And I guess Krakatows don't live in Florida. Sorry, alligators, gators, letting gators in with a draft. I mean, it's good because the cone, I mean, sometimes you use things to prop the door and it gets in the way, but here the cone is up high. So there's no trip or, you know, there's no hazard on the floor at least. Nothing's getting your way of getting in and out. So that's helpful too. That's true. That is a bright spot to look at. At least it's not like one of those floor stops that you always trip over or someone kicks out or. Exactly, it's in a concrete block of any sort. So, you know, the sustainability people, you'll notice we're very positive, right? We're looking for the good in this situation here. And then there'll be ventilation. And this could be considered a hands-free opening as well. So it's got that going for it. Looking on the bright side, knowing me, I probably would hit my head on that cone. So I'm sure it's nice cushioned and rubber and like I'll bounce right off. I'm sure. See, this one's not too bad. I've not seen this before, but not horrible. Yeah, so if you were to give this a knocking score, one through 10, what would you give it? I'll say four. I don't think it's like super bad compared to the last one. Yeah, I'll give it a three. Again, A, forever did creativity, not awful. I'm gonna go to, maybe they turn the HVAC off. If they turn the HVAC off, there's nothing wrong with this opening. Again, there's a clear warning that you might hit your head. So I don't know, I think it's okay. Technically, you're not supposed to have anything overhanging in the opening under, I think it's six foot eight, six feet and eight inches. My guess is that's probably a little bit protruding into that zone. I always thought, yeah, it's six foot eight. And I always thought that was funny because like what if you were a basketball player? Like you could hit your head on things if things are protruding. Like I guess maybe you're just used to like ducking through doorways by then. Oh yeah. I don't have that problem. We're hitting it on a construction cone that's mounted upside down in a door closer. Okay, not too knocking bad. All right, the final photo. Are you guys ready? Oh boy. Yes. I'm excited. I'm still confused about this one. Love the sign. And I'll do this door, but there. Well, so I have a little jingle whenever I find door hardware that you have to explain, the best kind of doors are the doors you have to explain. I had like a Willy Wonka vibe to it, although that was creepy though. So that's good. I'm going to take that sound clip and that's now going to be the intro sound clip for every door hardware. This one is very special. So Amy, you actually submitted this photo. So I'm glad we got to highlight it. Can you enlighten us a little bit or do you know other than you just walked by and you took this picture or you saw explain a little bit? I was on a campus in California for a sustainability expo. And naturally I'm wandering around looking at doors because that's what we do in our free time. I walked past this and I had a chuckle and then I said, you know what? I have to stop and take a picture of this ridiculousness because yeah. And you know, I've had this picture since 2019 and I'm really glad that today is the day I finally get to do something with it. And I'm glad that other people appreciate the same nonsense because it's, someone took a lot of time to say, you know what, I need to go and make a sign that explains this. And I need to paint these hinges the same color as the door, which I think is lovely. Sandy Matheny would maybe be interested to see this, this photo as well from a decorative perspective. Yeah, that's just me. Is it powder coat red hinges? I sure hope so, but it doesn't look like it. There's, they're not powder coat. We all know it. I'd like to see some levers on there or a pole instead of those knobs there. Yeah, yeah. On a campus especially, they should be more accessible friendly. I think it's interesting that then whatever it is, 1950 E, it's painted seems like the same color as the wall because they like really want that to blend in and they really want you to go for the red door. Yes. Do not look over here, focus on the red door. Yeah, this is just a bad example because you're not supposed to have to figure out where to go, it should be just so obvious. So even with the sign, it's still pointing to the other door, so it's still not even obvious. Yeah, like my first instinct was, oh, use this door right here, right? Yeah, the right way. Yes. Not this hidden red wall right here. Yes, not through this door, but there. And there are other probably more interesting or pure ways of saying that, but I enjoyed it very much. Whoever, because this looks like it's almost like a plaque. Like they had to go somewhere. Oh yeah, it was mounted. The person making the sign was like, are you sure you want to write this all out this way? Maybe they were paid by the letter, so they were able to add on extra, you know? That's right, yes. We saved some space by writing through T-H-R-U instead of regular way. So yes, nice long arrow. From a sustainability standpoint though, it looks like they've got some decent like weather stripping and gasketing. Oh yeah, I mean that, the one on the left-hand side is very well sealed. We would recommend continuous hinges obviously for an exterior opening for both, but yeah, I think, you know, they're definitely doing something right here. Even if you're confused, you at least have some sustainability attributes going for you. Yeah, I actually didn't know that was a thing, but it makes sense. Continuous hinges would be more energy-efficient than regular butt hinges, right? Exactly, see? We've learned something today. We've learned something new every day. Okay, knocking score. What do you ladies think? I'll give it a two, it's not that bad. Yeah, I think I'll go with two also. I think it's, I find it almost endearing. Can use of color. Yeah, it's low, one or two. It's very entertaining and they maybe need a more colorway to extend the red along a path to lead people. Wayfinding. Yeah, wayfinding, yes. And school colors too, right? Yeah, not too knocking bad. Can't really fault this. As far as we know, there's no major code violations or anything like that. Might be a deco violation. Sandy Matheny might have something to say about this. Might have given a harsher score. Other than that, the knobs aren't ADA compliant. Not too knocking bad though, just funny. Thanks for using my picture as the grand finale today. That's quite an honor. Yeah, what a way to finish. I mean, I was genuinely curious like what is going on here? Because, you know, the best kind of doors are the doors you have to explain, so. We don't often get the opportunity to get an explanation on the show and often we want and need one. Right? Yes. Well, it's always funny when you get caught checking things out at a building. Like once I was in a post office and I was looking around and then like this lady gave me these weird looks. Like I'm like trying to break into the mail room. So I was like, OK, I guess I need to stop doing this right now. Pick your building wisely. Right, we're not trying to do anything. We're not criminal mischief. We're just curious. Airports, airports are notoriously known for a lot of door hardware fails. Actually, at a local airport, a local international airport, they have a coded lock that the passcode is still the programming code. So pretty easy. If you know the lock, you know the programming code. OK, so thank you. Thank you, Aaron and Amy, for joining us for this special episode of Unhinged. Yeah, thanks for being here.
