Dado
A channel cut at right angles to the run of the grain. For example,
when a weatherboard needs to be fitted to the bottom of a good-quality
exterior door, a channel is run across the bottom rail and through
the stiles. The section of the channel that runs across the stiles-that
is, across the grain is the dado. It can also be called a housing.
Door linings
The woodwork that makes up an interior wooden door frame. Sometimes
the linings are termed casings. The complexity of linings or casings
has to do with the thickness of the wall and the quality of the
work. For example, a thin stud wall might have plain linings-no
more than a batten with a nailed strip to act as a stop-whereas
a thick wall might have double rabbeted linings made from a frame
with stiles, rails, and panels. With double rahbeted linings,
the stiles are rabbeted to become the stop or jamb.
Doorframe
The wooden frame that carries the door and to which the door is
hinged. External door frames are one piece, with the various steps,
rabbets, grooves, and stops all being cut from a single large
section; internal door frames are made from a number of small
component parts that are variously nailed, jointed, and screwed
to one another. The door frame of an exterior door is made of
solid wood and fits into a recess formed in the wall. It consists
of vertical members called posts, or jambs, that are tenoned into
a horizontal member called the head. Unlike framed and paneled
wood doors, in which the horns are cut off, the horns are left
in place and built into the wall.
