Doors can be made out of several different timbers. They are selected for:

* stability so the door won't warp and will continue to fit closely into the frame * evenness and fineness of grain, so the wood doesn't splinter split or feel rough and is easy to work with in a precise way

* sometimes lightness if the door is large * strength * durability - especially important for exterior doors that must resist moisture and extremes of temperature

Oak, Cedar, Sapele, Douglas Fir, Iroko, Meranti, Pine and many other timbers are used.

Why Wet doors do not open properly?

If the door or door frame is made of wood: the wood soaks up some of the water and expands. This makes the door/door frame slightly larger, so it will be more difficult to open and close. This can be avoided by covering the wood in a waterproof sealant (which are available from most hardware shops).
