Come Out Swinging

Pushing and shoving is bad behavior Mom doesn't approve of. But if it happens on the way to the kitchen, she'll understand. Allow us to explain.

Swinging doors have long been a practical way to separate the bustle and heat of kitchens from calmer dining rooms.

Solid brass spring-loaded Swinging Door Hinges let you pass through easily with arms full of food, and Brass, Iron, and Glass Push Plates added a touch of elegance to swinging doors - and a cleanable spot on which to shove.
