Abstract
A door skin is provided that includes at least one inner panel, an outer body portion surrounding the at least one inner panel, and at least one contoured portion surrounding the at least one panel and interconnecting the at least one panel to the outer body portion. The at least one contoured portion includes a substantially V-shaped indent area adjacent to and within the outer body portion, a planar area that is substantially parallel to the outer body portion and is adjacent to and within the substantially V-shaped indent area, and a declining area adjacent to and within the planar area and terminating at the inner panel. A door including at least one door skins and a doorframe is also provided.
