What are Saloon Doors | Cafe Doors | Swinging Doors?
The most common names for Saloon Doors are batwing doors, café doors, double swinging doors, swing doors, half doors, and swinging half doors. While there are many names for saloon style doors, these doors all have similar features.
The main feature of saloon doors is the double action hardware. Double action hinges allow for the doors to swing open in either direction and self-return to center. Double action hardware can offer a hold open position on some hardware. The added convenience of the double action hardware allows you to enter/exit thru the doors without turning a knob. You can use a finger, hand, elbow, or hip to push the doors open. Saloon doors offer an attractive way to separate spaces; the doors can be full length or half doors.
