Abstract: A wooden door for hinged mounting in a frame wherein the door opening is defined by jambs equipped with magnetic weather stripping is characterized by clip-like trim strips of resilient magnetic metal extending in enclosing relation with the corner of each side and the top of the door which enter the frame. These trim strips have the multiple functions of providing a magnetic interconnection between magnetic weather stripping and the otherwise wood door, protecting the corners of the door against damage by contact with foreign objects extending into the door opening, and providing a decorative appearance.

Abstract: A wooden door for installation as the entry door of a new or remodeled residence is completely factory prefinished by fabricating all wooden parts to accurate dimensions and staining all these parts, including cut-outs in the door blank for a lock assembly and other hardware, before assembly. After preliminary staining and assembly, all final finishing operations are performed on the door, and it is packaged in a protective package, along with its hardware, and shipped as a separate item to the resident site. The frame in which the prefinished door is to be mounted in the completed residence is also factory assembled, a temporary door of expendable quality is installed therein, and the frame and temporary door are shipped to the site independently of the final door for installation as soon as the residence has been completed to the point where installation of the door frame is in order.
