Sup Weogo,
Double doors are really nice for equipment ingress/egress, and they're also quite nice for events in terms of being inviting - think lots of activity in Summer.
I understand your interest in a single door though. Single doors can also be less conspicuous; I've seen more than a few CBS that try deliberately to be a secret spot, and that's cool too.
If a really big single door swings, you may have issues with clearance in traffic areas, whereas double doors will open wider while having a smaller footprint.
A really large sliding single door could be an option for offering a lot of clearance without encumbering traffic.

Hi Folks,
Our new bike shop, Pigeon River Bikes, in Haywood County, North Carolina, is moving in to an old building that’s being renovated. The owners will install a new entry door for us, and it can be double doors or a single, wide door. I’m thinking one, big door will be a good choice. Bigger is better, up to the point where it’s hard to deal with. If you had your choice, would you prefer a 36”, 40” or other size door width?
Thanks and good health, Weogo _______________________________________________ TheThinkTank mailing list -- thethinktank@lists.bikecollectives.org To unsubscribe send an email to thethinktank-leave@lists.bikecollectives.org To view this discussion on the web visit https://lists.bikecollectives.org/hyperkitty/list/thethinktank@lists.bikecol...
