I wish we could get
real French doors - the doors in my grandfather's home in Chatou were very tightly sealed. The design was similar to how the shutters sealed and locked - one side has an edge that looks kind of like a 'G' in cross-section, the other section is sorta hinged and the 2 doors interlock and the handle that works the interlocking also slips pins into the floor and ceiling. The shutters were designed to survive 100 years or so of war -- the French doors were designed to keep dust and people out.
