Interior doors can be made of solid wood, hollow core wood, solid core wood, or fiberglass. They are normally constructed from lighter materials than exterior doors because they don’t need to be weather resistant or provide security (just privacy, which can easily be achieved by purchasing a good locking system). Interior doors are usually 30 or 32 inches wide and available in several styles, including swinging doors, pocket, gliding, and folding.
Swinging Doors are your standard hinge-mounted doors found throughout the interior of most homes.
Pocket Doors slide along on overhead rails and tuck into a recessed space in the wall. This type of door is ideal for tight spaces because when you open it, the door is completely pushed out of the way, which allows full access to the doorway. This type of door should be installed during construction because adding one to your design plans later on can be costly. | |

Gliding Doors roll along the bottom of the door frame on wheels in a track on French doors and patio doors.
Folding Doors are most commonly found on closets, because they can be pushed or pulled to the side to allow full access to the doorway. This type of door is a good choice if you don’t have enough room to install a swinging door.
Bypass Doors are similar to folding doors and are typically used on closets where there is not enough space for a swinging door. The downside to using a bypass door is that only half of the closet doorway is accessible at one time since one door slides behind the other to gain access. |
