SPEAKEASYS

HISTORY:

Prohibition began in the early 1900's which was a law that restricted the sale of, the transportation and drinking of alcohol. Many agreed with the law and many others wanted the freedom and choice to decide on their own restrictions.

Though the Volstead Act prohibited the sale of alcohol, it did little to enforce the law. The illegal production and distribution of liquor, or bootlegging, became rampant, and the national government did not have the means or desire to enforce every border, lake, river, and speakeasy in America.

The speakeasy was introduced to doors around the nation because the invention of the peep hole did not exist. The speakeasy was an easy way for those in the illegal clubs to see who was entering without actually letting them enter and also to be protected from the individual knocking on the door in case it was someone who wanted to force their way in.

The term comes from a patron’s manner of ordering an alcoholic drink without raising suspicion so bartenders would tell patrons to be quiet and "speak easy".

Single? or Double?

What do they mean by a single or double cylinder? We're not talking about deadbolts.

Cylinder options are most common on entrysets for front doors or exterior facing doors. When specifying which type of cylinder you prefer there are a few things to keep in mind.



A Single cylinder is the most common lock, aside from deadbolts, with a keyed lock on the exterior and a small decorative latch on the interior of the door. They are very functional and user-friendly.

Double cylinders have pros and cons to their use. Typically with entry doors there are side lights, or panes of glass that accompany the door and add beautiful natural light. However these windows offer access points for robbers who break the glass and unlock the door from the inside. The double cylinder prevents this access by requiring a key on either side to lock or unlock the door. The downside to this method is in emergencies, one does not want to search for a key.
