Abstract

Security door including a revolving door with a one way bearing continuously preventing rotation of the door in a reverse direction so that persons can only travel from an entry to an exit side of the door by passing around the door axis in a forward direction. A mat switch is positioned so that persons attempting to pass from the exit side to the entry side by revolving the door in the forward direction must stand on the mat switch and operate it. Operation of the mat switch causes operation of a clutch which locks the door against rotation in the forward direction.
