ADT Door Styles

ADT Door Styles

• ADT features several door styles. These styles include standard rectangular exterior and interior doors, hinged doors such as bifolds, commercial doors like those found in factories and numerous door types found on furniture like bureaus and cabinets. The program also allows users to design their own types of doors. You can, for instance, turn a fireplace opening into an operating doorway within the program by modifying the nature of the fireplace and the wall in which you place it within the program.

Door Features

• ADT allows you to customize door features once you choose a basic style of door. For instance, assume you pick a standard rectangular door for a bedroom in your virtual ADT home. You can customize the pattern and number of inlaid panels or windows on the door and the style of doorknob. You can also customize the color and material used on your door, and options such as hinges, so doors can swing inward, outward or on double hinges.

Doors and Space

• The only true limitation when creating door styles in ADT is space. The program adheres to realistic spatial relationships and dimensions, so you can’t place a rectangular door in a square opening. However, you can customize a door within these spatial parameters. For instance, if you choose a rectangular door for a square space, you can place another rectangular door within the same square opening to create a double door to fill the entire space. You can also add accoutrements such as borders and framing to doors to help fill space.

Innovating ADT Door Styles

• Your ability to create door styles in ADT might depend on your aptitude with computer programs. For instance, the program allows you to create numerous types of unorthodox doors, such as a fireplace that also acts as a door, but does not provide these as options. Rather, you must come up with the idea for an unorthodox door, then figure out how to realize that door given the parameters, functions and limitations of the program.
