Door

Also called slab, leaf

The panel that swings to open and close the doorway.

The door itself, as opposed to the frame around it, is called the slab or leaf. A slab can be solid, hollow, or, as in a panel door, built from a frame of stiles and rails holding thinner panels.

The slab hangs from hinges on one side and closes against the frame on the other.
