Durchgangstüren

Durchgangstüren, also known as passage doors, are a common type of interior door that does not feature a lock. Their primary function is to allow passage between rooms or areas within a building. Unlike privacy doors or locking doors, passage doors are designed for convenience and accessibility rather than security. They are typically installed in areas such as hallways connecting bedrooms, living areas, or closets where a lock is not necessary.

The design of durchgangstüren can vary widely, from simple, unadorned panels to more decorative styles that complement the interior aesthetics of a home or building. They can be constructed from a range of materials, including solid wood, hollow-core wood, or composite materials. The hardware associated with durchgangstüren usually includes a doorknob or lever handle and a strike plate, but no locking mechanism. The ease of operation and lack of locking functionality make them ideal for high-traffic areas where frequent passage is expected. Their simple construction also often makes them more affordable than doors with locking capabilities.
