This article is about an older version of DF.

Doors are a piece of Template:L used, among other things, to control the movement of Dwarves and define the exits of Template:L. A door must be built next to a wall or other form of support. A door is not capable of providing support to another door.

Materials

Doors can be made of Stone, Metal, Glass, and Wood. Artifact doors can be made out of just about anything. A glass door is called a portal.

Usage

A door has three main settings:

  • Keep locked: The door can not be passed unless it is unlocked or destroyed. Dwarves, animals, both wild and tame, and most invaders will all be unable to pass.
  • Keep tightly closed: Animals will not be able to pass though the door, but dwarves and invaders will not be hindered.
  • Set as internal: When designating rooms, a door set as internal will not block room expansion.

Doors can also be connected to levers or pressure plates to open on command.
