How is a door made? Characteristics and curiosities

Doors are essential elements of our homes and buildings, but we often take for granted their complexity and the different characteristics that compose them. In this article, then, we will explore in detail how a door is made, analyzing its main components and providing some interesting curiosities related to its manufacturing.

The Components of a Door

A door may seem like a simple object, but it is the result of the harmonious combination of different components that work together to guarantee functionality, safety and aesthetics. Here are the main parts that make up a door:

    Panel

The panel is the visible part of the door and can be made of various materials such as wood, glass, metal or plastics. This part determines the aesthetic appearance of the door and can vary in terms of design and finishes.

    Chassis

The frame is the structure that surrounds the panel and holds the door in the wall. It can be made of wood or metal and is intended to keep the door secure and well positioned in the wall opening.

    Hinges or Tracks

Hinges (in traditional doors) or tracks (in sliding doors) are mechanisms that allow the door to move. The hinges are attached to the frame and panel, allowing the door to move like a "hinge" of sorts. The tracks, on the other hand, guide the movement of the sliding doors.

    Handles or Knobs

The handles or knobs are the elements used to open and close the internal door. They can vary in terms of design and style, adding a touch of uniqueness and aesthetics to the frame.

    Closures and Locks

Latches and locks are essential for the safety of the door. Locks can be of different types, for example key, combination or electronic. They help control access through the door.
