Fun Facts - Did Saloons Have a Door with a Swinging Arm at the Door

Welcome to the wild west; the saloon featured swinging doors. What's a saloon? It's a place where people go for drinks and some gambling on a fancy-crusted wooden floor. The saloon was built back in the early 1800s, and it had one of those spectacular doors that swung open from each side of a heavy brass doorknob. Every time you opened your door a couple feet, you would push it forward in order to close it again with these long handles

This was an amazing invention at the time as well, but unfortunately, it wasn't long before someone realized that if you had two large swinging doors like these, then they could be used as weapons against your guests who were coming in and out of your establishment. So after that point in history people started placing small peepholes in their walls so that they could check if any troublemakers were approaching their saloon without having to open up their doors full-width and expose themselves to potential harm.

Swinging doors are the most common style of door. They feature hinged panels that swing open and closed. Swinging doors are available in single panels or multiple panels. The direction a door swings, either to the right or the left, is called the handing. In addition to handing, exterior doors are identified as either inswing or outswing depending on whether they open into the house or towards the outside.
