How to Make Doors

The first thing we must establish before we start to make our doors, is that rooms and doors and treated the same but are coded differently. Doors connect one room to another, but in one sense, is a room. A room is a place where objects and things can be stored. Doors are rooms, but we tell inform 7 that when entering through the door, you immediately enter the next, objects cannot be stored in doors.

Doors are used to connect rooms, but they don't have to be. A locked door prevents the player from entering the opposing rooms, unless unlocking and opening the door. Only then the player can enter the other rooms.

So to start of we need to see an example of full text for a door, we will break it down later. You can call your door anything. You must make the first rooms first then the door.
