Door System

A door system is a set of components that allow a door to open and close securely. It consists of a door, a frame, hinges, a locking mechanism, and a handle. The door is the main component of the system and is typically made from wood, metal, or plastic. The frame is the structure that holds the door in place, and is usually made from wood, metal, or plastic. Hinges are used to attach the door to the frame, and typically consist of two metal plates that are connected by a pin. The locking mechanism is used to secure the door and is usually either a keyed or electronic lock. The handle is used for opening and closing the door and is usually made from metal or plastic.

Door system, door hardware, access control, security, entryway, locking mechanism.
