church doors
The doors of this abandoned church in Littlefield have not welcomed a congregation in years. If the doors opened, parishioners would find only rafters fallen from the collapsed roof. I realized that the right-hand door was a replacement but I pondered, puzzled, for a moment. The door leaning against the wall looked just liked the left-hand door--how could that have worked? Then I realized it was placed backwards. The door mechanism was the give-away! I wondered what the name for that piece of gear might be, and a diligent search rewarded me with "door opener." Such a mundane word for that equipment. If you want to buy a "door opener" be sure to specify hydraulic, pneumatic, electric, left-handed, right-handed, non-handed, heavy duty. The descriptors are more interesting than the name of the device.
