Who invented the house door?

The earliest records are those represented in the paintings of the Egyptian tombs, in which they are shown as single or double doors, each in a single piece of wood. In Egypt, where the climate is intensely dry, there would be no fear of their warping, but in other countries it would be necessary to frame them, which according to Vitruvius (iv. 6.) was done with stiles (sea/si) and rails (see: Frame and panel): the spaces enclosed being filled with panels (tympana) let into grooves made in the stiles and rails. The stiles were the vertical boards, one of which,tenoned or hinged, is known as the hanging stile, the other as the middle or meeting stile. The horizontal cross pieces are the top rail, bottom rail, and middle or intermediate rails. The most ancient doors were in timber, those made for King Solomon's temple being in olive wood (I Kings vi. 31-35), which were carved and overlaid with gold. The doors dwelt upon in Homer would appear to have been cased in silver or brass. Besides Olive wood, elm, cedar, oak and cypress were used. A 5,000-year-old door has been found by archaeologists inSwitzerland.[2]

On a metel screen door you're going to have to use some sort of metal filler and then paint it. Ask your local hardware store what's best.


How to choose paint for a heavily sun exposed exterior wood door?

A 100% acrylic paint holds up best to UV rays, however, if the door is used often there will be increased wear around the door knob or any other wear areas so it may have to be painted more often than using a more wear-resistant oil based finish.
