Did double duty/duties as a darkroom

The studio had only one used camera, and the restroom did double duty as a darkroom.

Hi,

Why is it "double duty" in the above instead of "double duties" since it's the plural "double?" Thanks.

Maybe you could think of it this way? The restroom's (one) duty was to double (=serve) as a darkroom. CJ
