hinged doors

Pivoting panel passages

Hinged doors are doors attached to their frames by hinges, allowing them to swing open and closed.

This is the most common door type in buildings—the standard bedroom, bathroom, or front door.

The term usually appears in contrast to other door mechanisms: The closet has sliding doors, but the bedrooms have hinged doors.
