Norfolk latch
A traditional metal handle and latch used on ledged and braced doors. The handle is gripped and the latch is pressed down with the thumb. In England various counties had their own types of latches-an Essex latch, a Suffolk latch, and so on.

Oblique mortise and tenon
Much the same as a simple mortise and tenon joint, the only difference being that the tenon is more of a stub and the mortise is extended at an angle beyond the shoulder line, with the shoulder being cut at an angle. This joint is used on good-quality framed, ledged, and braced doors when the bottom end of the brace is jointed into the ledge.

Pediment
A pediment is a decorative crown above wood doors. All the features that make up the crown are inspired by classical architectural porticoes and gables. Variously, a pediment might be broken, open, segmented, or scrolled.

Portico
A small roof supported with. columns, compare with Pediment.

Pilasters
Half-columns fixed at each side of the doorway. They look like columns that have been sliced through from top to bottom and then fixed to the wall.
