Ligature resistant swinging door system

A swinging door assembly comprising:

• a door panel;
• a frame mount extending along an entire height of said door panel, said frame mount comprising a rail and sleeves disposed at top and bottom ends of said rail;
• and
• a pivot assembly operably connecting said door panel to said frame mount such that said door panel is pivotable in a first direction from a closed position to a first opened position and is pivotable in a second direction, opposite to the first direction, from the closed position to a second opened position, said pivot assembly comprising:
• a first pin disposed adjacent a top edge of said door panel and a second pin disposed adjacent a bottom edge of said door panel, said first and second pins cooperating with said sleeves of said frame mount, thereby allowing for the pivoting movement between said door panel and said frame mount, wherein said first pin and said second pin comprise portions of one continuous generally cylindrical rod, to which is attached said door panel, with said first pin and said second pin defining ends of said rod extending beyond the top and bottom edges, respectively, of said door panel;
• wherein said rail of said frame mount has formed therein a channel extending along a length thereof, said channel being sized and shaped to closely correspond to a size and shape of said rod, so as to inhibit ligatures from being slipped between said rod and said channel;
• and
• a first biasing component associated with said frame mount and a second biasing component associated with said door panel, each of said first and second biasing components comprising a flat portion and a beveled portion;
• wherein when said door panel is pivoted in the first direction by an angle less than a threshold angle, or is pivoted in the second direction by an angle less than the threshold angle, the weight of the door causes the beveled portions of said first and second biasing components to slide with respect to each other, thereby biasing said door panel toward the closed position;
• and
• wherein when said door panel is pivoted in the first direction by an angle greater than or equal to the threshold angle, or is pivoted in the second direction by an angle greater than or equal to the threshold angle, the flat portions of said first and second biasing components engage one another such that said door panel is no longer biased toward the closed position due to cooperation of the beveled portions of said first and second biasing components.
