Abstract: A door structure utilizing a first skin having a surface. The first skin also includes an aperture through the same. A second skin is similarly constructed to the first skin such that the aperture of the second skin aligns at least partially with the aperture of the first skin. A panel is sandwiched between the first and second skin surfaces by first and second adhesive layers, respectively. The panel is positioned to at least partially occlude the apertures of the first and second skins.
Abstract: A door lamination structure including a core member with first and second surfaces separated by an endless edge third surface. A groove extends around the endless third surface and forms a chamber in the core. First and second sheets of protective material are placed over the first and second surfaces respectfully. A fastener holds the first and second sheets to the chamber of the groove.
Abstract: A simulated panel door structure formed from a flat surface door utilizing an endless groove formed along the flat surface and etched to a uniform depth. The endless groove possesses a base surface and first and second side walls extending outwardly from the base surface. The second side wall of the groove is positioned outside the first side wall toward the periphery of the door. An insert having a lower surface and first and second side walls positions within the endless groove such that the lower surface of the insert lies adjacent the base surface of the groove. The first side wall of the insert lies adjacent a beveled surface of the veneer and extends no further outwardly than the flat surface of the door. The second side wall of the insert lies adjacent the second side wall of the groove. The insert further includes a lateral surface spanning the first and second side walls with a depression therealong.
