ABSTRACT
This project report is based on
fabrication of metal door. Metal door is a movable structure use to
close off an entrance typically consisting of a panel that swings on
hinges or slide or rotate. The metal door is more reliable and strong
and much more have good looking appearance than the others doors like
wooden door, leather door. E.t.c. The locally available material [e.g
mild steel] of different shapes, forms and format were available
indigenous technology without compromising the standard. The door
constructed was subjected to different to different test and it was
found efficient and has the strength to provide adequate security at
affordable price the metal door consist of the adequate frame unit the
door consists of the frame unit, the panel, the bolt, the stopper as the
major units.
Since privacy and security are major
essential needs in their various homes and offices, etc. which thereby
gives rise to the need for doors among other security devices. Ability
to have access to door of quality high long span at low affordable price
to an average Nigeria has been a problem.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Furthermore, door made with wood are very risky to be put at open place. This is because doors made with wood when faced with water frequently, it gets damaged. In addition, termites could make the lifespan of wooden doors short.
Meanwhile, based on the aforementioned reasons and also the urge to improve technologically, so as technologist in training, we have come up with a design to serve as an alternative means of making doors of different patterns of today. The patterns that seems to give the door a long lifespan and serves as a means of security to lives of man and properties.
1.1 DEFINITION OF DOOR
Door can be defined as hinges, sliding, or revolving barrier at the entrance to a buildings, vehicles, pieces of furniture etc.(Oxford English Mini-Dictionary 5th Edition).
Door can also be defined as a movable flat or panel surface that open and closes the entrance to a building, Hornby A.S{1995}
1.2 TYPES OF DOOR
There are different types of doors depending on their purposes, material of manufacture, durability, personal requirement etc. Some types of doors are listed below:
Ø Timber/wooden door
Ø Steel door
Ø Frame and panel door
Ø Glass door
Ø Battened and ledge doors
Ø Flush door
Ø Aluminum door
Ø Glass door e.t.c.
1.3 THE NEED FOR METAL PANEL DOOR
The needs for metal panel door in our modern generation are listed as follows:
v It last longer than any other door
v It is of high strength and presentable
v For the purpose of securing both life and property
v It gives no easy access for bugler and thieves.
