#Walking through electric doors is an issue. If there's no other door, one can walk immediately behind a non-Jew who is walking there anyway and is opening it for themselves.<ref>Shemirat Shabbat Kehilchata 40:19</ref> | |||
#If that's not an option and there is a Jew who isn't religious or someone who doesn't realize and walks through the doors, one can follow him closely and walk through once he already opened them.<ref>Shemirat Shabbat Kehilchata 40:19</ref> | |||
