A ​door ​may be a hinged or otherwise barrier that permits ingress intoÂ
and egress from an enclosure. The opening within the wall may be aÂ
doorway or portal. A door's essential and first purpose is to supplyÂ
security by ​controlling access ​to the doorway (portal). Conventionally,Â
it's a panel that matches into the portal of a building, room, or vehicle.Â
Doors are generally made from a cloth suited to the door's task. DoorsÂ
are commonly attached by hinges, but can move by other means, likeÂ
slides or counterbalancing.Â

The ​door could​ also be moved in various ways (at angles faraway fromÂ
the portal, by sliding on a plane parallel to the frame, by folding inÂ
angles on a parallel plane, or by ​spinning along​ an axis at the middle ofÂ
2. the frame) to permit or prevent ingress or egress. In most cases, aÂ
door's interior matches its exterior side. But in other cases (e.g., aÂ
vehicle door) the 2 sides are ​radically different​.Â
Doors often incorporate locking mechanisms to make sure that justÂ
some people can open them. Doors can have devices like knockers orÂ
doorbells by which individuals outside announce their presence. asideÂ
from providing access into and out of an area , doors can have theÂ
secondary functions of ensuring privacy by preventing unwantedÂ
attention from ​outsiders​, of separating areas with different functions,Â
of allowing light to pass into and out of an area , of controllingÂ
ventilation or air drafts in order that interiors could also be moreÂ
effectively heated or cooled, of dampening noise, and of blocking theÂ
spread of fireside .Â
Doors may have ​aesthetic​, symbolic, ritualistic purposes. Receiving theÂ
key to a door can signify a change in status from outsider to insider.Â
Doors and doorways frequently appear in literature and therefore theÂ
arts with metaphorical or allegorical import as a portent of change.Â
HistoryÂ
The ​earliest recorded ​doors appear within the paintings of EgyptianÂ
tombs, which show them as single or double doors, each of one piece ofÂ
wood. People may have believed these were doors to the afterlife, and aÂ
few include designs of the afterlife. In Egypt, where the climate isÂ
extremely dry, doors weren't framed against warping, but in otherÂ
countries required framed doors—which, consistent with Vitruvius (iv.Â
6.) was through with stiles (sea/si) and rails (see: Frame and panel), theÂ
enclosed panels crammed with tympana set in grooves within the stilesÂ
and rails. The stiles were the vertical boards, one among which,Â
tenoned or hinged, is ​understood because​ the hanging stile, theÂ
opposite because the middle or meeting stile. The horizontal crossÂ
pieces are the highest rail, bottom rail, and middle or intermediate rails.Â
The most ancient doors were made from timber, like those mentionedÂ
within the Biblical ​depiction ​of King Solomon's temple being in oliveÂ
wood (I Kings vi. 31-35), which were carved and overlaid with gold. TheÂ

doors of the Roman period are within the Lateran Basilica.Â
Â
The Greek scholar Heron of Alexandria created the earliest knownÂ
automatic door within the 1st century AD during the age of RomanÂ
Egypt. The primary foot-sensor-activated automatic door was made inÂ
China during the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui (r. 604–618), who hadÂ
one installed for his royal library. The primary automatic gate operatorsÂ
were later created in 1206 by Arab inventor Al-Jazari.Â
Copper and its alloys were integral in medieval architecture. The doorsÂ
of the church of the ​Nativity at Bethlehem​ (6th century) are coveredÂ
with plates of bronze, cut call at patterns. Those of Hagia Sophia atÂ
Constantinople, of the 8th and 9th century, are wrought in bronze, andÂ
therefore the west doors of the cathedral of Aix-la-Chapelle (9thÂ
century), of comparable manufacture, were probably brought fromÂ
Constantinople, as also a number of those in St. Marks, Venice. TheÂ
bronze doors on the Aachen Cathedral in Germany go back to aboutÂ
5. 800 AD. Bronze baptistery doors at the Cathedral of Florence wereÂ
completed in 1423 by Ghiberti.Â
Of the 11th and 12th centuries there are numerous samples of bronzeÂ
doors, the earliest being one at Hildesheim, Germany (1015). TheÂ
Hildesheim design​ affected the concept of the Gniezno door in Poland.Â
Of others in South Italy and Sicily, the subsequent are the finest: in SantÂ
Andrea, Amalfi (1060); Salerno (1099); Canosa (1111); Troia, two doorsÂ
(1119 and 1124); Ravello (1179), by Barisano of Trani, who also made doorsÂ
for Trani cathedral; and in Monreale and Pisa cathedrals, by Bonano ofÂ
Pisa. in all these cases the hanging style had pivots at the highest andÂ
bottom. The precise period when builders moved to the hinge isÂ
unknown, but the change apparently caused another method ofÂ
strengthening and decorating doors—wrought-iron bands of variedÂ
designs. As a rule, three bands with ornamental work constitute theÂ
hinges, with rings outside the hanging styles that fit on vertical tenonsÂ
set into the masonry or wooden frame. There's an early example of theÂ
12th century in Lincoln. In France, the metal work of the doors of NotreÂ
Dame at Paris may be a beautiful example, but many others existÂ
throughout France and England.Â
In Italy, ​celebrated doors​ include those of the Battistero di SanÂ
Giovanni (Florence), which are beaten bronze—including the doorÂ
frames. The modeling of the figures, birds and foliage of the southÂ
doorway, by Andrea Pisano (1330), and of the east doorway by GhibertiÂ
(1425–1452), are of great beauty. within the north door (1402–1424),Â
Ghiberti adopted an equivalent scheme of design for the paneling andÂ
figure subjects as Andrea Pisano, but within the east door, the oblongÂ
panels are all filled, with bas-reliefs that illustrate Scripture subjectsÂ
and innumerable figures. These could also be the gates of Paradise ofÂ
which Michelangelo speaks.Â
Doors of the mosques in Cairo were of two kinds: those externallyÂ
cased with sheets of bronze or iron, cut in decorative patterns, andÂ
incised or inlaid, with bosses in relief; and people of wood framed withÂ
interlaced square and diamond designs. The latter design is Coptic inÂ
6. origin. The doors of the palace at Palermo, which were made byÂ
Saracenic workmen for the Normans, are fine examples in goodÂ
preservation. A somewhat similar decorative class of door is found inÂ
Verona, where the sides of the stiles and rails are beveled and notched.Â
In the Renaissance period, Italian doors are quite simple, theirÂ
architects trusting more to the doorways for effect; but in France andÂ
Germany the contrary is that the case, the doors being elaboratelyÂ
carved, especially within the Louis XIV and Louis XV periods, andÂ
sometimes with architectural features like columns and entablaturesÂ
with pediment and niches, the doorway being in plain masonry. WhileÂ
in Italy the tendency was to offer scale by increasing the amount ofÂ
panels, in France the contrary seems to have been the rule; and oneÂ
among the good doors at Fontainebleau, which is in two leaves, isÂ
entirely administered as if consisting of 1 great panel only.Â
The earliest Renaissance doors in France are those of the cathedral ofÂ
St. Sauveur at Aix (1503). within the lower panels there are figures 3 ftÂ
(0.91 m). high in Gothic niches, and within the upper panels a doubleÂ
range of niches with figures about 2 ft (0.61 m). high with canopies overÂ
them, all carved in cedar. The south door of Beauvais Cathedral is inÂ
some respects the best in France; the upper panels are carved in altoÂ
relievo with figure subjects and canopies over them. The doors of theÂ
church at Gisors (1575) are carved with figures in niches subdivided byÂ
classic pilasters superimposed. In St. Maclou at Rouen are threeÂ
magnificently carved doors; those by Jean Goujon have figures in nichesÂ
on all sides , et al. during a group of great beauty within the center. TheÂ
opposite doors, probably about forty to fifty years later, are enrichedÂ
with bas-reliefs, landscapes, figures and elaborate interlaced borders.Â
NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space CenterÂ
contains the four largest doors. The Vehicle Assembly Building wasÂ
originally built for the assembly of the Apollo missions' Saturn vehiclesÂ
and was then wont to support spacecraft operations. Each of the fourÂ
doors are 139 meters (456 feet) high.Â
7. The oldest doors in ​England ​are often found in Westminster Abbey andÂ
date from 1050. In England within the 17th century the door panelsÂ
were raised with oblection or projecting moldings, sometimes richlyÂ
carved, round them; within the 18th century the moldings worked onÂ
the stiles and rails were carved with the egg and tongue ornament.Â
Design and designs.Â
Â
There are many sorts of doors, with different purposes. The foremostÂ
common type is the single-leaf door, which consists of one rigid panelÂ
that fills the doorway. There are many variations on this basic design,Â
like the double-leaf door or door and French windows, which have twoÂ
adjacent independent panels hinged on all sides of the doorway.Â
A Dutch door or Dutch door or stable door is split in half horizontally.Â
Traditionally the highest half opens so a worker can feed a horse orÂ
other animal while the rock bottom half remains closed to stay insideÂ
the animal. This sort of door has been adapted for homes.Â
Saloon doors are a pair of lightweight swing doors often found publiclyÂ
on bars, and ​particularly related​ to the American west. Saloon doors,Â
also referred to as cafe doors, often use bidirectional hinges that closeÂ
8. the door no matter which direction it opens by incorporating springs.Â
Saloon doors that only extend from knee-level to chest-level areÂ
referred to as batwing doors.Â
