Dutch Doors!
Originating in the Netherlands during the early 1600s, this unique design features top and bottom halves that operate independently. The bottom can be closed for some privacy while the top is left open for fresh air and neighborly chats. Or, when locked together, the two sections can work as a standard door.
Dutch doors were first used on front entryways and were later placed at secondary doorways to the kitchen or scullery. These doors also provided ventilation to barns and stables.
It's a Dutch door. They look nice, but be aware that they are very difficult to lock securely.
