The best way to protect your possessions and for your privacy in a building, is to have closure installed. This is the part of a building, which can be moved on a few hinges, slides or you can even have it rotate. When you take it apart, you will discover that there are door parts which make it into the structure it is.
You need to know the elements in order for you to be able to install it correctly. Most doors come with hinges and some have panels. This is depending on its design. However, most will have the same elements such as the rails, which should be a top and bottom one and sometimes a lock rail as well. There could be a mullion, which runs parallel with the stiles which are on the sides. The stiles also have the jambs added to it.
This is completed by the lock stile. These two elements are joined together by joints. This is what creates its strength. The hinges are placed on one of the vertical sections. Which stile it is, will depend to which side it would open and this is therefore, known as the hinge stile. It could open to the right or to the left.
The hinged ones could have two or three hinges and this will depend on the weight of the structure. The lock stile is the side on which the lock and handles will be fitted. Once it is hung, the lock set can be installed in the back set and then the knob or handle.
The panel one would have the panels inserted between the rails and the stiles. These sections keep the panels in place and further reinforce the structure, making it stronger. Even though the strength lies in the rails and stiles, the filler (which are the panels in this instance) makes it even stronger and secure.
With a flush closure, the filler is the central part which has an insulated core or material (like a foam core) to complete the structure. It encloses the rails and the stiles and that is what makes it flush. The rails and stiles cannot be seen as a result and the hinges and lock set is applied as with any other closure. It would therefore have the same elements as any other closure except that it is flush.
You need to have a frame in which to fit the structure. The frame will "host" it, as you will attach it to the frame with the hinges. The frame will also have jambs, but it will also have a casing, stops, a sill, and a threshold. The frame is usually built into the wall opening and it sometimes has a lintel just above the casing.
To have a reasonably strong closure, it should at least have the most basic door parts, which are the stiles and the rails. The inner section will depend on what kind of closure it would be. This include whether it is a French type or any other type.
