Is it so hard for commercial bathroom designers to use wall to wall doors with "occupied/not occupied" locks? Apparently so.

[–]Woetren 12 points13 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

In my country they close the gap with an extra wooden strip. You can't look inside of our toilets. We're the most advanced country of the world as of today.

I would not be much surprised if commercial bathroom designers were all out to get us.

[–]jimmyweckle 4 points5 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Plumber here.

Bathroom stall doors have that large gap underneath them so if the toilet overflows, the waste will be able to reach the floor drains. It also makes it easier for mops and other cleaning machines (floor buffers) to get under them. In most cases, the code allows a maximum of 48" from floor to bottom of door.

As far as the small crack in between the door and partition goes: "Door handles, pulls, latches, locks, and other opening devices should have a shape that is easy to operate with one hand, without tight grasping, pinching or twisting of the wrist". This would be somewhat difficult to do if that small crack wasn't there to allow less friction.

[–]mattmurphy 16 points17 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

48 inches from the floor to the bottom of the door? That's 4 feet... When I sit on a toilet I don't think the top of my head is 48 inches from the floor.

[–]jimmyweckle 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, that's just the maximum. You'll rarely (if ever) see them that high. They're usually more than half that.

[–]EvoEpitaph 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Good information. I understand the gap underneath but is there anything that prevents the door from having a lip so that when closed the gap still exists but that lip is covering the gap on either the outer or inner side?

[–]pajam 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This would be simple to do. I mean my fucking glass door on my shower has one of these.

[–]jimmyweckle 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Nope. It just comes down to the manufacturer and the specs, really. But I know in hospitals they usually want to try to have the least amount of contamination as possible, so a more minimal design would make sense.

[–]PlusSixtoReason 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I could design a door in 30 seconds that doesn't need a crack in it.

its an ada thing (american disabilities act) the doors must be easy to open with 1 finger, limited twisting motion if i recall, if the doors closed tightly like in Europe (very disabled challenged) the doors can and would be come difficult to open especially when the walls become misaligned. also several places outside the US have piss troughs at a lot of places and outdoor piss setups like Amsterdam.

[–]zendick 0 points1 point ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

those are wheel chair or assistance stalls, other "disabled" or otherwise handicapped people (ie hand missing etc) do not necessarily need a wheelchair stall.

[–]Matjoez 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well as far as I'm concerned, those missing a hand can use the handicapped stall, and the rest can get a closed door and the same privacy..

[–]zendick 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

what about when in use etc, should not all doors at ground level or with ramp access not be wheelchair wide? should only certain public device have braille? the whole point is to make the world (u.s. at least lol) accessible to all people.

[–]Matjoez 0 points1 point ago

You have a valid point. But I still would prefer it if people couldn't see me while taking a dump :)

[–]zendick 0 points1 point ago

i prefer not to be seen pissing, a dump i can survive, i'd rather not have my cock in hand out for view while when shitting nothing can really be seen. plus why not make a scene to asshole/pervet/skeezoid? a flashlight makes cockroaches run.

Really? I can't remember the last time I was in a public restroom and somebody actually knocked as opposed to just trying to open the door.

[–]robeph 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah I hate when this happens. You politely knock and it takes the guy too long to respond so you peek in to see if someone prank locked the door and then they're all like OCCUPIED, like it's your fault.

[–]Bombardiers 2 points3 points ago

Prank locked the door? WTF? I have never seen that happen, and I can't imagine anyone older than 10 even contemplating it. Actually, I don't even understand how you would logistically lock the door then leave the stall, considering I basically don't want to touch any surface more than absolutely necessary.

Maybe the women do this but in a public men's room all hell is broken loose once we enter the stall.

[–]plugginbutts 3 points4 points ago

Aren't most public toilet seats designed in such a way to spread your ass cheeks apart for this very reason? If they're curved enough, it spreads your ass apart some so you when you fart your ass cheeks don't flap around and create a sound.

I've always wondered why there is even a fucking gap there in the first place. Also, have you ever had a little shit(kid) take a look under the door, while you're sitting on the throne, dropping a deuce, and made eye contact? Most awkward thing there is I think.

Been meaning to get this off my chest for a while....

WTF is it with US toilet cubicles and their HUGE gaps all around the door/cubicles? Honestly, in almost all of them there is a gap big enough for anyone to have a look in, mostly when they look directly towards the sinks. Every other country I have ever been to has them completely sealed from view.

TL;DR USA cubicles have stupidly large gaps. It's shit.

I was at a Subway taking the shit. A guy knocks, the door is locked. "Occupied." The dude knocks again, jiggles the handle. "Ocuppied." He knocks louder, jiggles again. "SOMEONE'S IN HERE." There is a shitton of jiggling, and then I realize, he's PICKING THE LOCK. He barges in, looks SURPRISED TO SEE SOMEONE IN A LOCKED FUCKING BATHROOM FOR WHICH HE JUST PICKED THE DOOR ON, and backs out.

That's weird. No one has ever once knocked while I was in a stall. They might just slightly push on it to see if it's locked then walk away. Then walk away. I've never, ever had some gazer look through the crack.

Where the fuck do you take your shits that this happens far too often?

There's no good, one-word response that says "There's someone in here!"

Sure, there's "Occupied", but every time I shout that out, I always have to say "Occupado". So that won't do.

One method I've encountered that seems to be popular in Taiwan (from my limited experience) is if someone tries the door you knock on it to indicate it is occupied. This way there is no verbal communication but the person outside knows to try another stall.

This reminds me when I ripped a door off a Porta-John because the handle had the green Open sign, but I was having trouble opening it. But since the sign clearly stated that it should open and wasn't in use I gave it some good tugs until the door distorted the plastic of the frame so much that it just flew open and there was a lady sitting on the toilet. I felt terrible, being that I was around 10 at the time and this was an adult woman I probably embarassed terribly. All her friends were cracking up.
