What are the parts of a door?

There are quite a few components to a door, many of them unknown to most people. A basic hinged panel door with a handle, as is commonly found in many homes, consists of the following:

Parts of a standard hinged door:

Rails – The rails are the horizontal crosspieces which hold the door panels in place. The centre rail is called the lock rail and is usually thicker than the other rails.

Stiles – The stiles are the vertical crosspieces which hold the door panels in place. The centre stile is called the muntin.

Panels – These form the main body of the door, filling the spaces between the rails and the stiles.

Lites – These are small windows usually located at the top of the door to allow light in.

Hinges – Attached to one side of the door, these allow for the door to swing open and closed.

Handle – Attached to the opposite side of the door to the hinges, the handle allows the door to be secured when closed and opened only by using the handle.

Kick plate – If one is attached, this is located across the bottom third of the door.

Transom - This is a bar of wood (or stone, or another material) that runs across the top of the door frame.

Fanlight - This is a small window (or window-like opening) that features above the transom. Fanlights are useful both for allowing daylight in, and helping with ventilation.
