The Front Door closes off the driver or front passenger side of a vehicle. It protects the people inside from zombie attacks while it is shut.
The door comes in Standard, Heavy-Duty and Sports versions. Each version fits only vehicles of its own type. A Standard door cannot be fitted onto a Sports car.
The front doors guard the driver, who is the most important person in any vehicle. A missing front door leaves the driver open to grabbing hands at every stop. Keeping both front doors in good shape is one of the first jobs on any vehicle. The Mechanic is the best occupation for vehicle maintenance. It starts with the most Mechanics skill.
How to Use Front Door
A door protects the occupants only while it is closed. The window in the door must also be fitted and closed. A smashed window lets zombies reach in even with the door shut.
A door can be left open after a hurried escape. Vehicles show no clear sign that a door is still open. Waiting for the sound of the door closing before driving off avoids a nasty surprise.
A fitted door can be locked with the vehicle key. A locked door keeps others from walking in, taking parts or hot-wiring the vehicle. A window can still be smashed to get past a lock, so a secure garage is the safest place to park.
Doors can be repaired once they are off the vehicle. The repair uses a Welding Torch with a Steel Sheet or a Steel Sheet - Small. It needs Welding level 3 and Mechanics level 2. A badly damaged door is often better replaced than repaired.
How to Install Front Door
Fitting or removing a front door needs a Wrench. The job calls for Mechanics level 4 and knowledge of Basic Mechanics. The side window in the door must come out first, or be smashed.
Higher Mechanics lowers the chance of damage and raises the chance of success. At level 4 the job never fails and never damages the door.
The door must match the vehicle type. A Standard door goes only on a Standard vehicle, and the same rule holds for Heavy-Duty and Sports doors.
The tools, Mechanics level and knowledge the game asks for to fit the Front Door and to take it out again.

Locations
Doors come from vehicles. Parked cars, vans and wrecks can all give up their front doors. Most doors spawn in good condition, so even an abandoned car is often a fine donor.
Notes
- The door protects only while both the door and its window are closed.
- Listen for the door closing before driving away.
- The side window must come out before the door can be removed.
- Welding repairs a door once it is off the vehicle.
