42 Door Types and Styles

1- One-Panel

A one- or single-panel door comprises top and bottom rails and two stiles. While they are popular as front and side entry doors, they are also commonly used as interior doors for rooms or house partitions, thanks to the single panel door’s simplicity and clean lines.


2. Two-Panel

A two-panel or double panel door is composed of two parts by putting two panels together using a middle stile or rail. The two-panel design is one of the most popular door styles that makes it feel at home in almost any dwelling.


3. Three-Panel

A three-panel door has three panels separated by two stiles or rails. While many three-panel doors have equally sized panels, some have at least one panel that’s either shallower or wider than the other two, usually the topmost. Other door styles, like the bifold, may also use a three-panel system.


4. Four-Panel

The four-panel design uses panels that are taller than they are wide. The top two panels are positioned side by side above the lower two. Four-panel doors look great when the building is bigger or wider.


2. Two-Panel 

A two-panel or double panel door is composed of two parts by putting two panels together using a middle stile or rail. The two-panel design is one of the most popular door styles that makes it feel at home in almost any dwelling.


5. Five-Panel

These doors have five equally sized horizontal panels positioned one on top of another. Its Victorian roots make five-panel doors ideal for classic bungalow styles, such as Craftsman, Arts and Crafts, and Mission.


2. Two-Panel 

A two-panel or double panel door is composed of two parts by putting two panels together using a middle stile or rail. The two-panel design is one of the most popular door styles that makes it feel at home in almost any dwelling.


6. Six-Panel

Six-panel doors can have equally sized panels, with three panels lining the left side of the door and the other three positioned right next to them. However, some six-panel doors have four panels of equal size and two smaller panels.



2. Two-Panel 

A two-panel or double panel door is composed of two parts by putting two panels together using a middle stile or rail. The two-panel design is one of the most popular door styles that makes it feel at home in almost any dwelling.


7. Eight-Panel

Eight-panel doors have smaller panels than their fewer-panel cousins. Eight-panel doors are typically big, heavy, and imposing, especially if they are made of real hardwood. They are perfect as front doors, particularly if you prefer the appeal of a large, old-school knocker over a modern doorbell button.


8. Eight-Panel With Glass

Eight-panel doors have variants that include several or all panels equipped with glass. They come in wood, steel, and other materials. Eight-panel doors with only two glass panels typically have those glass panels at the top. This allows the light entry while also protecting privacy, as the glass panels are often too high for prying eyes.


Sliding Doors

Opening and closing sliding doors are simple because they use a sliding track (either set on the ceiling or floor). This mechanism makes them useful in tight settings and interiors that don’t have space for a door to swing in either direction. That said, any type of sliding door will need wall clearance since they are “tucked” into these walls when open.

11. Bypass

The bypass door mechanism allows one door to slide in front of the door next to it. A bypass door can be designed with two doors or three, depending on the width of the opening, the width of the doors, or the owner's preferences.

Bypass doors are often found in interiors as partitions. Still, they are great for places leading to a patio or a porch. They are even used for closet doors!


Colonial Doors

Colonial doors are a distinctly European design that our American forefathers took with them when they colonized the New World (hence the name). Colonial doors are largely symmetrical and come in pairs, with one or several recessed panels framed by stiles and rails. Some panel doors (like the ones discussed above) are sometimes even called Colonial or Colonial panels.

Louver Doors

A louver (or louver) is a set of horizontal slats angled to admit air and light, but not direct sunlight or the other elements, like rain. A louver door is a regular door that uses these features.

23. Full Louver

The full louver door has louvers in the middle to allow ventilation and light penetration. In louvered doors, fixed slats are positioned downwards, one slat overlapping the next, for privacy. Some versions of the louvered door are also equipped with movable slats.


24. Half-Louver

As the name suggests, the half louver door is half solid and half louvered, but in many cases, the louvered area isn’t always half the door but a fraction of it. Examples of a half-louver door are a restroom door, a maintenance door, or a locker door.


25. Ya Louver

YA louver doors are almost like full louver doors, except there are two louvered sections separated by a stile or rail. The solid area is much smaller than the louvered areas, which take up most of the door. The lower louvered section is commonly smaller than the top louvered section.


26. Double Louver

A double louver has two louvered sections, but the louvered sections are often smaller than the non-louvered sections. The upper louvers are found at the top half of the door, and the bottom louvers are almost at the foot of the door. The louvered sections are often of the same dimensions.


27. Louver Panel

The louver panel door is a door that consists of two panels—one a solid panel and the other louvered. More decorative than the half louver door, a louver panel door typically has the louvered portion at the top three-quarters of the door and the raised rectangular panel in the lower half within the frame.


Door Lites

Some doors have panels that use glass instead of wood. These panels are called “lites.” These lites emit illumination and are often frosted or decorated for privacy.

28. Two-Panel Half-Lite

A two-panel half-lite door is so-called because it generally has two and a half panels. One is a lite (usually the top panel), and the two half-panels are solid wood beneath it.

Since it’s popular as an entry door thanks to its daylighting, some homeowners frost the lite or even put a curtain or window treatment on the lite itself. Old-school clinics usually have two-panel half-lites, with the lite characteristically obscured.


29. Two-Panel Three-Quarter Lite

A two-panel three-quarter lite door is similar to a two-panel half-lite, but the lite is much bigger, taking up three-quarters of the door (hence the name).


30. Nine-Lite

The nine-lite door is effectively a half-lite door, with the top half of the door in a lite. But what sets them apart is that muntins divide the glass into nine equally sized sections, creating a grid pattern. The bottom half of a nine-lite door may or may not be decorated with paneling.


32. Narrow Lite

A narrow lite door is a regular door with one exception: it has a narrow and rectangular fixed lite. The lite is usually positioned right above or near the knob or lock, and it allows you to peer outside while the door is closed. You can find narrow lite doors in many offices, research centers, and hospitals.


33. Half Glass

A half-glass (or half-lite) door is like a two-panel half-lite, only without the solid wood panels beneath the top lite.


34. Full Glass

A full glass (or full-lite) door takes daylighting to a whole new level, with twice the illuminating potential as that of a half-lite door. However, because of vulnerability and privacy concerns, most homeowners use a full glass door as a back or side door that leads to an outdoor area, like a deck or a patio.


35. Vision Lite

Vision lite doors are commonly found in areas where privacy is a concern. They are simple doors with a hole cut into them, usually at the top half and centered. This hole can be fitted with a small glass panel. To add security in commercial or industrial applications, most vision lites and narrow lites use an automatic door closer.


36. Decorative Window

Different types of doors utilize glass, but a decorative window door introduces an artistic flair that emphasizes form over function. For the homeowner who wishes to dress up their front door while also letting in more light, a decorative window door can be a great solution.


37. Tudor

Tudors are commonly used as entryway doors, usually as a set of double doors. Tudors have an imposing character, generally adorned with elaborate panels, grooves, and glass panels. Most Tudors have arched tops and a narrow lite in the middle, often embellished, that follow the general outline of the molding or the paneling (i.e., arched tops). Tudors are traditionally massive, thanks to their hardwood make.


38. Four-Panel Half-Moon Window

A four-panel half-moon window door is similar to a four-panel door. The obvious difference is the addition of the half-moon window at the top. The glass window allows for added illumination during the day, and it can be clear or glazed for privacy. In many cases, the glass is abstracted for decoration and added appeal.


39. Four-Panel Half-Moon

The four-panel half-moon door is almost exactly like the above, only that there is no glass; the half-moon on top of the four panels are purely for decoration, usually carved into the wood.


Functional Doors

Functional doors are more than just entryways. While there are various types of doors for every conceivable need, these two below are the most commonly found in American homes.

40. French

French doors are what most people think of when they encounter the term “patio door.” Unlike sliders, French doors are hinged doors, which means they operate via hinges, similar to a casement window. However, like slider doors, they are also commonly used as exterior doors.

Most French doors are also more elaborate than sliders and are more appropriate with adequate swing space. The classic Art Deco look of most French doors is a great fit for classic-style dwellings. Mere door pictures don't give the best-looking French doors justice.


41. Storm

A storm door is another layer of protection over your front door. True to its name, a storm door is like armor, enabling it to resist bad weather and the elements. Some storm doors emphasize protection, like all-steel doors and hardwood doors, but some may use a screen panel for ventilation and light and instead use sturdier frames for additional strength. Lighter storm doors, like aluminum doors that cover the front door, are more decorative than functional.

Some homeowners also use a storm door to deter break-ins. These storm doors offer additional protective features like locks or bolts.


42. Flush

A flush door consists of different materials, but generally, it’s composed of a “core” sandwiched between two layers of plywood. These plywood layers are cut so they cover the entire core material from edge to edge, hence the name since they’re flush to the edges of the core. There are no additional decorations on a flush door.

Flush doors generally fulfill two needs—reducing the weight of the door or giving the door additional protection. To lessen weight, the core usually employs a honeycomb structure. To reinforce the door, the core uses an insulating material
