  The door was probably designed to be a first-class entranceway, since it opened onto the first-class reception area on D-Deck.

Nevertheless, it may be that crew members or passengers did attempt to use this D-Deck door not as an entrance, but as an exit. When the door was discovered in 1993 it will still attached to the ship and had been opened from the inside. The door was finally recovered in 1998 after it had fallen off the ship.
