Composite door systems are provided for use in a protective barrier structure. The composite door systems provide for quick assembly, safety, security, and resistance to physical impacts or threats. The composite door systems may include a shell and a core that can be factory completed or finished on site. The shell may be shipped to the assembly location of the barrier structure, and the core may be formed on site by pouring liquid fill material into a cavity of the shell, which is allowed to cure into a solid fill material. Hardware housings may be operatively coupled to the shell that are made to receive door hardware but resist the liquid full material from filling the hardware housings. The shell, core, and/or hardware housings may provide resistance to damage, such as projectiles to provide enhanced security protection to the occupants or contents of the building structure.

DOOR SKINS AND METHOD OF MAKING

The present disclosure is directed to molded door skins and methods of making. Methods include providing an at least partially consolidated flat wood composite blank. Methods further include positioning a stretchable film on an outer surface of the blank, and pressing the blank and the stretchable film together in a heated press to form the molded door skin. The molded door skin has a first surface and a second surface recessed relative to the first surface by a predetermined distance. A third planar portion extends between first and second planar portions at an angle in a range of 100 degrees and 120 degrees. Cracks or voids formed in the outer surface of the blank during the pressing are filled with the stretchable film such that an outer surface of the molded door skin is substantially or entirely crack and void free.
