[[File:Panel door.jpg|right|thumb|A diagram illustrating the components of a panel door]]

When framed in wood for snug fitting of a door, the doorway consists of two vertical ''jambs'' on either side, a ''lintel'' or ''head jamb'' at the top, and perhaps a ''threshold'' at the bottom. When a door has more than one movable section, one of the sections may be called a ''leaf''. See [[door furniture]] for a discussion of attachments to doors such as [[door handle]]s, [[doorknob]]s, and [[door knocker]]s.
* [[Lintel]] – A horizontal beam above a door that supports the wall above it. (Also known as a ''header'')
* [[Jamb]]s or legs – The vertical posts that form the sides of a door frame, where the hinges are mounted, and with which the bolt interacts.
* ''[[Door casing]]'', [[door frame]], or [[chambranle]] – formed by the lintel and the two jambs.
* Sill (for exterior doors) – A horizontal [[sill plate]] below the door that supports the door frame. Similar to a [[window sill]] but for a door
* [[Threshold (door)|Threshold]] (for exterior doors) – A horizontal plate below the door that bridges the crack between the interior floor and the sill.
* [[Doorstop]] – a thin slat built inside the frame to prevent a door from swinging through when closed, an act which might break the hinges.
* [[Architrave]] – The decorative [[molding (decorative)|molding]] that outlines a door frame, called an [[Archivolt]] if the door is arched. Sometimes called ''brickmold'' in North America.
* [[Mat|Doormat]] (also called door mat) – a mat placed typically in front of or behind a door of a home. This practice originated so that mud and dirt would be less prevalent on floors inside a building.
