Elderly people will also struggle trying to push open the doors as many senior citizens are frail or using walking aides. Yet another population group who will be frustrated with the old style doors are parents with youngsters who will be juggling prams and pushchairs through these awkward entrances to shops, schools and medical centres, in addition to these groups of people everyday shoppers carrying bags of groceries will be hindered as they try to enter and exit shopping malls and stores.
