The doorlock on this door has lost its pins so the bar can be moved left and right (locked and unlocked) as desired. The upper and bottom projections on the door wore off and were replaced. This door shows an elegant solution to the inherent gap problem in plank doors by overlaying a rectangular frame over the cracks.

Note on the photographs: The first two photographs show the front and back of the door in sharp and angled direct sunlight, with the light showing through the space between the planks. (There is also some light reflected up from the bottom surface on which it was resting.). The third photograph and the detail below of the doorlock were taken indoors, with artificial light from the left side, showing how the door would look hanging on a wall, with the gaps largely in shadow.
