Another integral ingredient is the hinges which help to attach one part of the door to the frame which allows the other end to swing back and forth depending on the requirements. Next comes the door handle. Many doors have a handle with a latch attached. However, some doors have screw-in knobs that must be turned to release the deadbolt.
