Doors come in a variety of shapes, sizes and weights. They are made of different materials for different purposes and are moved using different mobile systems. One of the more interesting sports systems happens to be the current growing trend, called barn door hardware, also known as flat rail hardware. Even though this is the author's preferred portal hardware, it is neither here nor there. The design of this paper is intended to address the construction of the door and its identical anatomy.
As mentioned previously, the door can have a variety of shapes and sizes. Here, we will discuss the composition of the standard 3' door, which is the most commonly used door in most homes. This description will be given as if the person is closing the door in the closed position.
From the beginning, there are two long vertical members that extend along the length of the door on the left and right sides. These are called steps. There are two horizontal pieces at the top and bottom that lock in the vertical window frame; these are called top and bottom tracks. There are also two other horizontal rails, one facing the top and the other at the height of the door handle or handle. One near the top is called an intermediate track or a cross track, and one near the center is called a locked track. Running vertically in the center of the door, you have a so-called mullion. These sides are parallel and locked in the horizontal rail just described.
Between all these rails, window frames and mullion, you will notice six panels - four large areas and two small panels. The two smaller ones are almost square and sit on top of the door. The four longer ones are rectangular and occupy the rest of the door.
This is the basic anatomy of the standard door found in most homes.
