barndoor
Farm building entrance
A barndoor is the large hinged door on a barn, typically wide enough for vehicles and livestock to pass through.
Because of their size, barndoors figure in expressions about things that are hard to miss: He couldn't hit the broad side of a barndoor.
In film and photography, barndoors are adjustable flaps attached to lights that control the direction and spread of illumination.
The compound also appears as an adjective meaning conspicuously large or easy: a barndoor target.
