Wooden Door

The Wooden Door is a Placeable object, similar to other furniture, with the added benefit of preventing the passage of enemy NPCs. It can be placed in any space so long as it is exactly 3 blocks high, with a ceiling and a floor.

Town NPCs will open and close doors as they wander about. Players can do the same by right-clicking on them. Enemy NPCs will not open doors except for Skeletons, Dead Miners, Goblins and Angry Bones. Zombies can also open doors during a Blood Moon, and Goblin Peons can break down doors, as if they were destroyed by a player.

Each door sells for 40 copper.

Tips

 * Doors open to the left or right based on which direction you face, rather than the direction you are coming from. For example, if a player stands to the left of a door and faces left, the door will open toward the player - to the left. If the player doesn't move and then turns to the right and opens the door, it will now open to the right.
 * Putting furniture (even the second door) on one side of the door prevents it from being opened in that direction. This is useful to keep houses safe from Zombies during the Blood Moon or Goblins, as they'll always attempt to open the doors inward, while still allowing NPCs to go in and out as they please.
 * Doors can also hold back water.
 * Doors will break automatically if exposed to lava.

Trivia

 * Even though it is specifically called a wooden door, it is the only door available. It has been hinted that future updates will include other types of doors.
