Hi,



Can anyone point me to a reference to the correct names for door and door frame parts?



TIA, Mark


plate is called that fits into the frame where the lock inserts.

Cheers, M

It's called a lock/latch 'receiver'.

The bit that covers the keyhole is called an 'escutcheon plate'

That's also called a 'striking plate'

As below:

Door

Frame

Hinges

Door knob

Lock

Knocker

Wooden bit along the bottom

Draught excluder

Stick on numbers

"No Jehovas" sign

Doorbell

wrong about the door

- it's a muntin not a mullion, and completely wrong about the frame/casing/lining etc.

cheers

Muntin....Hear, hear. And where are those (profiled) architraves? When you buy a simple door frame from, say, Wickes, what is that spare bit of distance-keeping wood nailed at the bottom called?
