From a converted mill building I visited recently. Can anyone identify this? Is it a massive cast iron door handle, or is there more to it than that?

Either way, here’s the lobby:

I would say it’s an old door from an old Butcher Boy walk in cooler by the Paul J. Daemicke company.

or at least a reproduction using the handle and hinges.. though they don’t all match. so it’s probably an assortment of hinges and handles from different found things.

Thanks! I wondered if it was an ancient walk-in! The shape/size of the handle reminded me of my food service days.

Is there any kind of spring or hinge within the portion on the doorframe? Looks almost like it could be a latch to put over the flat part at the end of the handle, kind of a security latch or something, but the spacing almost seems off. I've never seen anything that resembles that handle, though. Except like old presses and other things with handles.

I can’t find much info on them at all.

All I can really find is they were early 20th century, they made refrigerator doors for butchers and possibly also made cleavers and such.

Sex dungeon latch. You have to have a strong latch on the door to your sex dungeon. Otherwise your victims will escape and you’ll have to switch identities and build yet another sex dungeon across the country, and honestly, who wants to keep doing that?
