Double doors with non-matching widths / uneven double doors Explanation: 1) I paired the wording "non-matching" (or: non-matched) with "widths" to give some latitude. This way, it does not imply that they are sidelights (with windows). It only means that they are indeed double doors, but that they have differing or unmatched widths. (Both doors can both be of solid wood, veneered wood, plastic, etc. but they have non-matching widths.) 2) "uneven double doors" is based on a website I found below, which discusses making "uneven double doors." (However, I prefer my first example because "uneven" can also imply that the doors are not lined up properly.) - Page 11 of the below website uses the word “non matching” with reference to doors: http://www.komfort.com/media/600_series_spec.pdf Double doorset (non matching) standard height (1981mm) with square meeting stiles 3) I do not agree with ymmoss and cinefil's answers based on the following: - The 2 websites below show the definition of the word sidelight as: Sidelight: Fixed panel of wood and glass next to door. http://www.the-wood.com/glossary.htm http://www.crdoors.com/glossary.html - The below website shows at sidelights have windows (to admit light) and are permanent doors/panels. http://www.vintagedoors.com/sidelights.html - Regarding cinefil's answer slave/master door. Here is a description on "master/slave" doors which describes their name coming from the way that they open.: French doors are designed with a master and slave door the master is the one that opens first and has the handle on if you only order one handle. Here is a website talking about “Uneven Double Doors” http://techboard.nemetschek.net/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&... Is it possible to make a double door with one leave bigger then the other in VW2010? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2010-07-21 05:02:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Getting back to one of my descriptions above, "double doors with differing widths" can work as well. :-) Example sentence(s):

peer agreement (net): +1asymmetrical double door Explanation: 定訳、とまでは行きませんが、asymmetrical という言葉を使うとしっくり来ます。 このスタイルのドアをどこで一番よく見るか考えていたのですが、Vanの Rear door で（家庭用より、商用ですが）、そこで asymmetrically split rear door や、それに近い表現（asymmetrical back door,60/40 split rear door）がよく使われています。 玄関では、ちょっと調べてみたところ、asymmetrical entrance door/front door/double door などと使われているようです。だたの asymmetrical door とか、asymmetrical split door だと、戸を横に二枚割りにするのも入ると思いますが、親子ドアには観音開きじゃないドアが入るのかどうか分からないので、この英語がＯＫかどうかも分かりません。 それから、 asymmetrical paneled door だと、一枚のドアの模様が非対称的だ、という意味なので、これは違うようです。 |

double swinging doors (Japanese-style swinging doors …) Explanation: double swinging doors (Japanese-style swinging doors in which one side is narrower than the other side in width.) 参考サイトを見たところ、いずれも両開きドアのようです。ちなみに、1枚の戸が上下の二段に分かれていて別個に動くようになっているドアとして ”Dutch door [米語] (or stable door)” というものがあるようです。いずれにしても「親子ドア」というものが英米圏で一般的に使用されているものだとは思われません。日本独自のドアでしょう。このため、上記のような説明を付記すればよいと思います。なお、”French door(s) = casement door(s), or door window(s)” とは、ほとんど全面にガラスがはめ込まれているドア（パネルドア ＝ panel door, paneled door, or framed door）のことを指すようです。また、”sidelight”とは「側窓採光部」のことであって、この部分はドアとしては機能せず、ドア本体（flush door）の脇に配置されるものです。 |
