The phrase Trouble shooter was applied to maintenance men and similar jobs in the twenties- such as ( radio trouble-shooters guide- from l928) almost certainly it was not used in the Old West! Lawman- sure. gunpoke, marksman, of course, but Trouble-shooter is a twenties term intended to soften the repair or damage-control image.

well its a well known fact that western guys like slapping each other on the butt so when they would go out the swinging door and they feel a good smack on the butt they knew it was either their broke back mountain friend, or it wasnt the door, but you know cowboys swing both ways hense the swinging saloon doors. Dr phill uh, they look cool. To keep the riff-raff in and the good folks out.

Half height doors are sometimes used to: * give a sense of privacy especially to people who are seated

* allow air circulation * allow those entering to see what is beyond the door, which is important for double swinging doors where people on both sides are at risk of being hit by the door (this function can be achieved through glazing but this is more expensive and not in keeping with a Western setting)
