    3 panel craftsman interior door

    My newest project is a three panel craftsman door for a new closet I put in my lower level. I am wondering if anyone has dimensions for such a door.

    28 inch door out of red oak 1 and 3/8 thick. I am using 5 inch styles and a 9inch base. Wondering for the panel thickness?

    Also how high for the narrow panels?

    Ay help from other dor builders would be great.

    Thanks in advance.

    Iv'e built a bucket load of these things.
    Use 1/2" ply for the infill.
    Top panel should be roughly square.
    use 5 1/2" stiles, go thicker than 1 3/8" on the rails and stiles. I like to build-up the side rails out of 2 plies of 4/4 material and then plane/joint down to 1 3/4" thickness. The lamination is cheaper than solid stock and it's more resistant to warping over time.
