Our second tutorial on doors covers three designs. You can see the first Doors and Gates tutorial here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We’ll start off with a door design that I used in a Dwarven house – hence it only being 5 studs tall. The entire door is built sideways, using plates and tiles to give a nice wood plank texture. The jumper plates here are essentially serving as 1×2 tiles in that their grooved edges add to the wood texture, but jumper plates give a better connection between layers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When finished the door will be 9 plates and 1 tile wide, which is equivalent to 4 studs. The brick modified with stud allow for hinges to easily be attached.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Giving a solid wooden door!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This next design is very similar to the first, but is a double door setup instead of a single. It also covers how to incorporate a doorway around the SNOT doors.<\/p>\n

Some clips and horns will serve as hinges for these doors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Working with dark brown means you have to be a little more careful with how you overlap the plates and tiles, as part variety is limited.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The handle is put in place on the 4th plate layer for this double door design. And since I had no interior in the building this door was on, I could use some 1×2 plates on end as 1×1 plates.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Directly over the handle goes a layer of all tiles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Making a door four plates and one tile wide – exactly two studs. The two bley 1×2 plates with 1×1 brick with stud on top show the base of the door frame.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here’s what the left door looks like, it’s just a mirror image of the one we already covered in detail.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Back to building the door frame! As you can see, the brick modified with stud allows each door to be attached.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some more basic bricks build up the sides.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And at the top an arch placed in front of the door gives the impressive of rounded edges to the top of the doors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A couple more 1×1 bricks and 2×2 tiles will finish everything off neatly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the back side you can see the 1×2 plates and 1×2 tiles jutting out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But from the front it makes a very nice looking set of doors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our third design is a bit simpler, but still very effective. You start off with a studs up core as shown here.
\nThe curved slopes on top will fit beautifully beneath an arch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And the brick with stud again have some plate modified added to serve as the latch and hinges. We’ll put this door in a wooden frame, using a half stud offset to set the posts out in front of the door slightly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Plate with rail underneath the door match the posts offset perfectly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hopefully these designs give you a few more options the next time you need to build some doors.
\nAnd as always, we appreciate hearing your feedback and suggestions!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
