Anyone has any idea what that is ?

my colleague suggested to install that for our storeroom, but he couldn't describe what that is.

according to him, this type of door is no-handle, no lock type. so aesthetically more pleasing.

I think what your colleague meant was having a feature wall with a tic tac door, very common to hide the storeroom door or bomb shelter door.

Tic tac mechanism is a magnetic device that protruding/reclining when being pressed upon. There is small metal plate on the door that is held on by the magnet at the end of tic tac device.

This is very much like your Pilot ballpoint pen, when you press once, the button becomes short (and the pen tip comes out) and you press it again the button become longer (and the pen tip goes in). Just listen to the sound when you press and you will know where the name "tic tac' came from.

By 'flush', it means in-line. So I believe when someone said "flushed door", it means that the door is in-line with the walls beside it, so if the door and the walls are made with the same material, when the door is closed, you would not know that is a door.

Huh I duno where to find photos for you..hehe...

Actually this is very common mah, long time ago have liao. In the past where we do not have bomb shelters, they always use tic tac mechanism for glass displays.

You know like shopping centres with wall-mount glass displays and there is a glass cover, there will be a chrome piece at one corner of the cover, sometimes engraved with the word, "PUSH". You just push that part and the cover will pop out abit, then you can open liao...
