Helpful Speakeasy Doors Information

What is a speakeasy door?

A speakeasy door is a front door featuring a small, operable window—usually covered by a decorative wrought iron grille—that opens independently. Originally inspired by Prohibition-era “speakeasy” establishments, these doors offer a blend of old-world charm, functionality, and added security.

Why is it called a speakeasy door?

The term comes from the 1920s, when illegal bars known as “speakeasies” used small doors or peepholes to discreetly screen visitors before letting them in. Today, the design remains a nod to that era—combining privacy, character, and style.

Are speakeasy doors secure?

Yes, speakeasy doors are built to modern security standards. The window itself often features thick glass and a locking latch, while some units feature a wrought iron grille that can add another layer of protection.

Can I customize the speakeasy grille or window?

Many of our speakeasy doors offer grille design options, as well as different glass types (clear, rain, reeded, and flemish).

Can the speakeasy window open?

Yes, the hallmark feature of a speakeasy door is that the small window can open independently from the main door. It typically swings inward on a hinge and latches from the inside—perfect for airflow, visibility, or greeting visitors without opening the full door.
