Abstract: An exterior door comprises a frame having a pair of vertical stiles joined by horizontal rails. The outer surface of each of the stiles and rails is provided with a groove extending the full length thereof. The frame has a core. A pair of exterior panels are adhesively secured to the faces of the frame, with the upper, lower and side edges of the panels each being provided with a bevel surface having a predetermined angle. A closure molding is provided for each of the outer surfaces of the rails and stiles forming the frame. Each molding in its free state has a generally elongated rigid strip having a slightly curved web and an elongated ledge on the inner surface of the web which is perpendicular thereto. The web's outer edges are inclined, with the inner inclined surfaces thereon being on an angle equal to the angle of the bevel surfaces. The molding strips flatten out when applied to the frame, with the ledges fitting tightly into the grooves.
