During the prohibition, as the sale, production, and transportation of alcohol became a criminal activity, the speakeasy became a byword for the secrecy required to drink hard liqor. The term speak easy was born from a patron's manner of ordering alcohol without raising suspicion - a bartender would ask a patron to be quiet and "speak easy". Normally covered by a grill, a speakeasy door contains a small opening which people had to softly whisper their names through prior to entry.

Currently in stock, these quality doors are available for purchase and immediate delivery. They are available in several colors of stain then distressed with black cracks, the door is finally sealed with three coats of polyurethane sealer.
