so im probably going to do a rehab job for the guy i built the pergola for(he liked my work:cool: ) in a "taller" 1920's chicago apartment building- its condos now, but thats neither here nor there..
theres a whole lot of stuff that i would be responsible for--
including:
installing basic mouldings/trim--no sweat
laying a bamboo floor--no sweat
installing cabinets--easy peasy
some tile work+ refloat some bad patches in the plaster - my partner says its no sweat
build a couple of built in shelves here&there - easy enough
window seat/radiator covers in 3 rooms - set em up/knock em down
recreate the look of this door:

and apply it to this closet:

which has me in a bit of a quandry:confused:
now im thinking that the door is probably made with a thin center panel, fitted into a mitered sub frame, and then assembled within the rail & stile frame...
now ive done some googling for "styles of doors" and "types of door construction" but all thats given me is instructions on how to buy a door, and im really not looking to do that.
so my question is am i right in my assesment here, or could you folks maybe direct me to a resource where i can learn a little more about how this kind of stuff is done?
any help would be greatly and profusely appreciated.
oh and just for yucks- heres a shot of the front door as it stands right now from the inside of the place:

youd think a $250k property would have better refinement :rolleyes:
again thanks in advance.
