How Old Are 5 Panel Doors?

The 5-panel door, a sophisticated version of the conventional 4-panel door, made its appearance in the 1890s and was widely used for around 30 to 40 years. Its defining features include the use of various kinds of wood such as pine, fir, chestnut, ash, oak, and butternut, resulting in a one-of-a-kind natural finish not seen on other doors.
