Abstract
Door configurations having integrated mechanisms for opening and releasing for closure, with elements of these mechanisms located on or largely on the body of the door itself. In some embodiments of the disclosure, a door has a handle and two release mechanisms coupled thereto, one of which releases a lock and allows the door to open, and the other of which releases a catch and allows the door to close. The two release mechanisms are coupled to the handle such that manipulating the handle in one direction actuates one of the release mechanisms but not the other, and manipulating the handle in the other direction actuates the other release mechanism. In this manner, manipulating the handle in one direction opens the door, and manipulating the handle in the other direction closes the door.
