saloon door

Hinged bar entry

A saloon door is a pair of swinging doors that cover only the middle portion of a doorway, leaving gaps at top and bottom.

They swing freely in both directions and return to center when released.

The name comes from their association with Old West saloons, though they appear in kitchens and other spaces where hands-free passage is useful: She pushed through the saloon doors carrying a tray of drinks.
