He knows of me. I am formally from BWM Industrial Automation.

pneumatic doors will bind if you have 2 cylinders. You can only use 1 cylinder for an operation of this sort on one side of the door.

All the best.

The doors can be made to open split up and down or split side to side, or full up or full down or full left or full right.

The space you have to allow them to open into is what limits you.

Split doors are usually linked to a single actuator, so they open symetrically.

An examination of any elevator door will show you some side to side types. Some are split, some are left/right.

Obviuosly some weak link keeps breaking....what keeps breaking? Fix that and make it a permanant fix = solution until the next failure mode happens.

List all the ways the doors have failed in the past two years. Fix those and you will get a long running door system.

I am amazed that the people who specced the line did such a bad job. They should know their business....unless you have a repair cash cow in operation and they make it break every week as a plan??

Can you describe the most common failure mode? How often does it break down on average. Are you looking to correct what you have, or are you open to replacing the whole system?

The way you are describing the problem at present you will generate endless speculation.

Are the two pneumatic cylinders synchronized mechanically by some means such as for instance chains with sprockets at the ends of a shaft connecting one side of the door with the other, causing the cylinders to move exactly together? They should be mechanically synced by some means.
