People are just learning why public restroom doors don’t touch the ground.
When you enter a washroom, one of the first things you may notice is that the loo doors don’t extend to the floor.
eator @mattypstories, known for sharing lesser-known facts, has gone viral after explaining why it’s a common sight in public restrooms.
His video begins: “You’ve probably wondered at one point or another why bathroom doors don’t go all the way to the ground. But there are actually many logical reasons why they do this.”
. Safety
Matty explains that one of the primary reasons is safety.
The gap allows for a quick assessment of the situation and a point of entry if someone were to fall unconscious or experience a medical emergency inside a stall.
It also allows a user to escape the stall if the lock on the door becomes jammed – although it’s not ideal to be crawling on a public restroom floor, it’s much better than being trapped in such a tight spot.
2. Improves ventilation
It may go without saying but public restrooms can be breeding grounds for unpleasant odors and bacteria.
The gap at the bottom of the stall doors promotes better air circulation, helping to maintain a fresher environment.
WC Portables explains: “It helps your toilet experience become bearable. Without the gap, the odor is sustained in a stall and becomes unbearable to subsequent users.”
3. Enhanced cleanliness
A gap in stall doors can make it a little easier to maintain the cleanliness of a public restroom.
It allows custodial staff to clean the floors more thoroughly and efficiently.
