The Front Door

Hi there everyone,

Is there a name for the window in the front door? EX; Mom opened the small door and took a look out the window before opening the front door to see. . .

Do you mean the decorative windows (sidelights) on the side of the door, like this?

Or just the insert panel (decorative also) on a front door? Other than that the only thing I can think of that you'd look through before opening the door is the peephole.

What I mean is, if you think back to the cliche gangster movies, you knock on a door, before the door is opened, a tiny door is opened with someone looking at you waiting for the pass word. Is there a name for that window?

Some kind of hatch.

View port? Peephole?

Peephole - that's what was in the door of speak-easies in the roaring twenties. Puma

There is a name for the little door in the big door that the bouncers opened to check you out before allowing entry into a speakeasy, but I can't remember what they called it.

It's got a name. I'm helping RJK think!

Is it a Judas Window?

Ellefire · Sep 25, 2009

fisheye? No, that's the tiny peephole in a normal door.

security hatch?

Calliopenjo · Sep 25, 2009

Judas Window! Thank you Maryn! :Hug2:

Wow. I actually knew something. That, like, never happens, not compared to most of AW.

Glad to help.

Maryn, all full of herself (for just a moment anyway)
