I'm pretty sure people just use them because they look pretty.

Dutch doors were invented in the Netherlands in the 1600's. They were first used on front doors, then were introduced into the home as doorways into the kitchen. These doors were used in farmhouses as a way to let air and light flow through the house, while keeping farm animals out. As farmhouses slowly left and our modern suburbs came, Dutch doors eventually left. Their popularity came back around the 1950's. Neighbors would stand and visit with each other through the charming doors, popularized by such tv programs, such as "Mr. Ed" But once again as the neighborhoods changed and people did not visit as much, single panel doors became more popular, and the Dutch door was set aside again. The Dutch door is often found in pre revolutionary houses from the Dutch areas of New York and New Jersey. They are also widely found in 16th and 17th century paintings.Today Dutch doors are gaining in popularity again.

Get A Generator For Power Doors?

If you use doors that are powered by electricity, you should get a residential backup generator that can be used when the main source of electricity, the city's power grid, is not working.

If these people are trapped inside because the doors will not work, they could be in danger.
