Build a new front door

[steviem]

Ok - so shes given me orders to sort the new front Door.
I want to make a 2inch ledged type door in Oak plus the frame

Now I'm a cabinet maker with a busy workshop and Ive fitted doors but never actually made one - any ideas where I can source plans, construction methods etc..

Many thanks

I've attached a pic of what I want to make
Here's my thoughts
Through tennons top and bottom with thinner middle rail
Matchboards with tennons top and bottom but using floating tennons down the lengths rather than using tongue and groove
Silicone to seal the joints rather than glue - for movement

Does this make sense?
Thanks

All my stuff's in storage, so I can't tell you the name of the book, but I have a book that is specifically door plans (and there are some really beautiful ones), so it must be possible to track down at least one.
