Introduction

A Door Job holds everything needed to process a door, and optionally its jamb, on a KvalCAM machine or machine line:

• The Door Data: the door's size, hand, materials, and jamb.
• The Feature Groups: the cuts to make, such as hinges, locks, and lites.

Door Jobs are created and edited in the Door Job Library, then added to the queue to run. In most cases the Door Data and Feature Groups are built ahead of time and kept in the libraries, so a Door Job is put together from existing pieces.
