A321 hinged doors in front of serving carts?
We are taking delivery of new A321’s.
In the galley there are hinged doors in front of the serving carts. (The serving carts are standard carts in that they have doors on them) The hinged doors have to be opened before the flight attendants can access the cart. (Aesthetically it is a cleaner look but practically it is a loser.)
What is the purpose of the hinged door?

The A350s already have these doors. All the carts have these doors, not just the chillers. I've never seen any official documentation but I wonder if it has anything to do with safety and asthetics. Safety as a loose cart will not roll out of its stowage. And esthetically the galley looks a lot 'cleaner', especially at times when pax transit through the galley such as during boarding/deboarding, similar to kitchens with appliances behind cabinet doors.
