CMI "Elephant Doors" are an innovative specialty application of an aluminum framing system with stile and rail doors. Developed to create large, unobstructed access portals to interior building spaces while simultaneously appearing to be and functioning as a standard pedestrian entrance. Popular with large regional shopping malls for the convenience of access for large interior displays or equipment. They also function well for specialty access to office buildings and sporting/event complex lobby areas where overhead doors or other access openings are unavailable or were not included as an original component of building design and construction.
