well its a well known fact that western guys like slapping each other on the butt so when they would go out the swinging door and they feel a good smack on the butt they knew it was either their broke back mountain friend, or it wasnt the door, but you know cowboys swing both ways hense the swinging saloon doors. Dr phill uh, they look cool. To keep the riff-raff in and the good folks out.

Half height doors are sometimes used to: * give a sense of privacy especially to people who are seated

* allow air circulation * allow those entering to see what is beyond the door, which is important for double swinging doors where people on both sides are at risk of being hit by the door (this function can be achieved through glazing but this is more expensive and not in keeping with a Western setting)

What are fire exit doors made of?

Technically, a "fire exit door" is any door that leads to an exit discharge. Not all fire exit doors are required to have a fire rating or panic hardware or an out-swinging hinge. However, many fire exit doors are fire rated, meaning that they are expected to endure at least some amount of fire for a limited time. Also, some types of occupancies cannot have in-swinging doors anywhere in the egress path. In the US, they are often made of wood or metal. Sometimes they are part of a firewall that is part of a fire rated corridor, and have a rating (such as 1-hour). Rated doors are solid wood or mineral filled metal doors, and are rated by a special agency. An important part of exit doors are the direction of swing and special hardware that allows use in case of panic. Panic hardware for buildings with a large exit load includes a bar near waist height that unlocks the door when pressed from the inside. Some exit panic hardware has a built-in delay for security reasons. Doors made of aluminum and glass are often used at the front of stores and offices. Glass used in a rated fire door assembly must also be fire rated.

How do doors work?

While some doors slide or roll laterally, most doors require hinges to swing properly and "door stops" to stop them in the proper position. Some doors have latches while others have locking mechanisms. No door can operate properly without a proper door jamb system. A double-hinged door has special double-hinges that allow it to open either outwards or inwards, and is usually "sprung" in such a manner as to return it to a closed position. External entryways to America's Old West saloons are great examples of double-hinged, or swinging, doors. Many Christians and non-Christians alike feel the need to install locks, ostensibly to prevent "unauthorized access". Of course, if you live in a "haunted house", your doors must work "creakily".
