Best Answer

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".
