A revolving door can describe a lot of things. It often describes a workplace that people don't like, so there is a lot of hiring, and a lot of people leaving, all the time. Another general definition people use the phrase for is when the same challenges and problems keep cropping up over and over again. For instance, redoing the home page of a website, and then always thinking that is the problem and redoing it over and over again rather than tackling other issues. It could also describe former government workers becoming lobbyists, or actual revolving doors, which allow people to enter and exit at the same time through the revolving entrance.
Patents for what we would now call a revolving door were issued as early as 1881 by Germany and 1888 by the US. The world's first wooden revolving door was installed in 1899 at Rector's, a restaurant on Times Square in Manhattan, located on Broadway between West 43rd and 44th Streets.
There were many purposes behind the invention of the revolving door. These types of doors solved the problem of heavier doors that were needed on larger buildings. They also provided a more comfortable indoor environment as they helped to save the heat in the winter and cooler temperatures in the summer from escaping the building.
