This article is about an older version of DF.

Doors are a piece of Template:L used mainly to control the movement of dwarves or liquids and define the exits of Template:Ls. A door must be built next to a Template:L or other form of support. A door is not capable of providing support to another door.

Materials

Doors can be made of Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, and Template:L. Artifact doors can be made out of just about anything. A glass door is called a portal.

Usage

A door has three main settings:

  • Keep locked: The door can not be passed unless it is unlocked or destroyed. Template:L, Template:L, both wild and tame, and most Template:Ls will all be unable to pass (thieves can pick the locks of locked doors and pass them that way.)
  • Keep tightly closed: Animals will not be able to pass though the door, but dwarves and invaders will not be hindered.
  • Set as internal: When designating rooms, a door set as internal will not block room expansion.

Doors can also be connected to Template:Ls or Template:Ls to open on command. Doors also halt the movement of liquids in the manner of Template:Ls, and can be used in the same ways if a passageway is narrow enough.

Notes

Any item on the same tile as a door will cause the door to be propped open, which makes it impossible to lock and allows fluids in.

Doors destroy any fluid on their tile when they close.
