INTRODUCTION TO DOOR
A door is a solid barrier that is fixed in an opening in a wall to hinge , pivot or slide pen (or close).
The door opening or door way allows access and agrees from
building and between rooms, compartments and corridors. As a component

1.1 DEFINITION OF A DOOR
A door can be defined as a hinged, sliding or revolving barrier at
the entrance of a building, room or vehicle or in the framework of a
1.2 CLASSIFICATION OF A DOOR
Wood door may be classified as:
- Paneled doors
- Flush doors
Paneled doors are frame with stiles and rails around a
panel or panel of wood or ply wood because the door is hinged on the
side to open, it tends to sink on the lock stile.
The stile and rails have to be joined to resist the tendency of the doors to sink.
A variety of flush doors are manufactured with plain flush
faces both sides and fibreboard facing press moulted often with
comparatively shallow sinking to resemble the appearance of a paneled
1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
This project is aimed at using timber towards the construction of the panel door by the carpenters.
It will try to examine some of the importance of timber to
the student while undertaking the project endeavour in using timber in
the construction of a pane door.
1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The essence of this project is to draw the attention of the
students, carpenters and individuals in constructing a panel door using
This research draws the attention of the individuals to the
need of timber for construction of a panel door as well as its uses in
storing and making a panel door.
