Mouthdoor

Mouthdoor is a term that refers to a type of door that opens by swinging outward, rather than inward. This design is particularly common in certain architectural styles and historical periods. The outward-swinging motion allows for easier access and exit, making it a practical choice for buildings where space is limited or where multiple people need to enter and exit simultaneously. Mouthdoor is also known as a "swinging door" or "outswinging door" in some contexts. The term is often used in discussions about architecture, interior design, and historical preservation, as it is a distinctive feature that can provide insight into the building's original purpose and the cultural context in which it was constructed.
