ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Door furniture

Okay kiddo, have you ever had to open or close a door before? Of course you have! Well, the handles, locks, hinges, and other little things that help the door to work properly and look pretty are called door furniture.

Think of it like decorating a cake. The door is the cake, and the door furniture is the frosting and decorations that make it look so delicious.

So, for example, the handle or doorknob is what you turn or pull on to open the door. The lock is like a special code or key that keeps unwanted people out (just like how we keep our secret toys safe from little brother or sister).

The hinges are what hold the door onto the wall or frame and help it to swing open and shut. Sometimes, we may add little decorative pieces to the hinges, like a fancy cover or knocker that makes the door look even more special.

Overall, door furniture is important because it helps the door to work well and look pretty. Plus, when we choose the right door furniture, it can make our house look fancy and cool.
