CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Many years ago, different types of doors were in use, which includes doors made of woods or grasses. These doors were made to meet the purpose of security to both life and properties. It was later discovered that doors made of wood do not last longer. They have short life span and they can easily get burnt.
More so, considering the rate at which armed robbers break into houses in our society, one would regret that wooden doors and grass doors gave them the chance to do so because it could easily be damaged.
Furthermore, door made with wood are very risky to be put at open place. This is because doors made with wood when faced with water frequently, it gets damaged. In addition, termites could make the lifespan of wooden doors short.
Meanwhile, based on the aforementioned reasons and also the urge to improve technologically, so as technologist in training, we have come up with a design to serve as an alternative means of making doors of different patterns of today. The patterns that seems to give the door a long lifespan and serves as a means of security to lives of man and properties.
1.1 DEFINITION OF DOOR
Door can be defined as hinges, sliding, or revolving barrier at the entrance to a buildings, vehicles, pieces of furniture etc.(Oxford English Mini-Dictionary 5th Edition).
Door can also be defined as a movable flat or panel surface that open and closes the entrance to a building, Hornby A.S{1995}
1.2 TYPES OF DOOR
There are different types of doors depending on their purposes, material of manufacture, durability, personal requirement etc. Some types of doors are listed below:
 Timber/wooden door
 Steel door
 Frame and panel door
 Glass door
 Battened and ledge doors
 Flush door
 Aluminum door
 Glass door e.t.c.
1.3 THE NEED FOR METAL PANEL DOOR
The needs for metal panel door in our modern generation are listed as follows:
ï¶ It last longer than any other door
ï¶ It is of high strength and presentable
ï¶ For the purpose of securing both life and property
ï¶ It gives no easy access for bugler and thieves.
