Takagi said there had been 12 accidents involving revolving doors at two of his firm's buildings-the Marunouchi Building in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, and the Yokohama Landmark Tower in Yokohama's Nishi Ward
``I don't think revolving doors will ever be 100 percent safe,'' he said
In total, 19 automatic revolving doors are installed in Mitsubishi Estate buildings. Most of the doors were, like the one in which the boy, Ryo Mizokawa, was killed last Friday, were manufactured by Tajima Junzo Co., he said
