The Wood Door Frame is a wooden doorway built from planks and nails. It gives a wooden wall a place to fit a door.

It belongs to Carpentry and comes in Shoddy, Poor and Good tiers. The in-game tooltip says it is required when installing a door. It is the standard frame for a carpenter's building. Every new house or shed needs one for each entrance. It uses the same planks and nails as wooden walls. The Log Door Frame suits a builder with logs and rope, and the Metal Door Frame suits a welder.

How to Build Wood Door Frame

Every tier is known from the start. All three take four Plank and four Nails. A hammer drives the nails and comes back after the build.

The Shoddy tier asks for Carpentry level 2 and gives 20 Carpentry XP. The Poor tier asks for Carpentry level 4 and gives 40 Carpentry XP. The Good tier asks for Carpentry level 6 and gives 60 Carpentry XP.

Planks come from sawing logs or taking apart wooden furniture. Nails are often found with hammers and other tools.

Start with the Shoddy tier and move up as Carpentry rises.

Each version of the Wood Door Frame has its own tab with the skill it needs, the XP it gives and its materials.

The Wooden Door Frame recipe builds the Wood Door Frame (Shoddy). It needs Carpentry level 2. Building it gives 20 Carpentry XP.

How to Use Wood Door Frame

The frame stands in the wall line. A Wood Door or a Double Door is then fitted into it from the Building menu.

The frame and door together form the entrance. Zombies attack doors to get in, so the door matters as much as the frame.

Plan the door's spot before building the walls on either side.

Build Tiers

All tiers cost the same planks and nails. Each step up asks for more Carpentry and gives more XP. Plaster and wallpaper ask for Craftsman level constructions. Build Shoddy frames early, then rebuild key entrances at Good.

Each version of the Wood Door Frame is listed with the skill it needs, the XP it gives and how much health it has once built.

Version Image Build Skill Build XP Health
Shoddy Wood Door Frame (Shoddy) Carpentry: 2 Carpentry: 20 -
Poor Wood Door Frame (Poor) Carpentry: 4 Carpentry: 40 -
Good Wood Door Frame (Good) Carpentry: 6 Carpentry: 60 -
