What do you call those doors that are split horizontally?

Question

ever since i saw "funny farm", i've been obsessed with that style of door haha

the door gives you the option to have the bottom shut & locked, but the top open, allowing air in.

does anyone know what this door is called???

Answer 1

i think they're called dutch doors, or stable doors

Answer 2

They are Dutch doors, I have one that goes from my dining room into my sunroom. It is the greatest thing, since I have a little dog that I try to keep in the house.. I can have the upper portion open for fresh air and keep the bottom closed to keep my little dog in. My home was built in the mid 50s and the door is still like new.

Answer 3

Dutch Doors
