Most hinged have the same basic framework consisting of two stiles that run vertically and two or more rails that run horizontally. The hinges are on the hinge stile; the latch and lock are on the lock stile.
Panel doors have several panels mounted between the rails and stiles; flush doors have an insulation core or filler material between the rails and stiles and a veneer that overlays the entire assembly.
Hinged doors are attached by two or three hinges to their frames. The frame consists of jambs, a casing, stops, a sill, and a threshold. The jambs form the sides and head of the frame, and the casing is support for the jambs. The stops are wood strips against which the door fits when closed.
