saloon doors

Western bar entry

Saloon doors are the swinging double doors with gaps at top and bottom, hinged to swing both inward and outward.

They're iconic in Western films, where cowboys push through them entering frontier barrooms.

The design allows easy passage while providing partial privacy.

Sometimes called batwing doors or café doors, they now appear in kitchens and restaurants for similar functional reasons.
