In a composite metal and wood door, two metal panels (10,32) that are aligned in parallel relationship are secured together by connectors (56-70, 88-102). Panels (10,32) and connectors (56-70, 88-100) cooperate to define channels (122-136) that receive corresponding members (138-148) that are made o

In a composite metal and wood door, two metal panels (10,32) that are aligned in parallel relationship are secured together by connectors (56-70, 88-102). Panels (10,32) and connectors (56-70, 88-100) cooperate to define channels (122-136) that receive corresponding members (138-148) that are made of a composite material. Metal panels (10,32) and composite members (138-148) are covered by wooden panels (178, 180).
