Patent ID: 8863472

Claim:
A method of making a door assembly, comprising: providing a first door facing comprising a first body portion, the first body portion comprising a first interior side having a first interior surface with a first substantially planar main surface area, a first exterior surface oppositely disposed relative to the first interior surface, a first male alignment member protruding in a direction of the first interior side relative to the first substantially planar main surface area, and a first female alignment member protruding in the direction of the first interior side relative to the first substantially planar main surface area; providing a second door facing comprising a second body portion, the second body portion comprising a second interior side having a second interior surface with a second substantially planar main surface area, a second exterior surface oppositely disposed relative to the second interior surface, a second male alignment member protruding in a direction of the second interior side relative to the second substantially planar main surface area, the second male alignment member being configured to align and mate with the first female alignment member when the first and second door facings are placed in a mating relationship in which the first and second interior surfaces face one another, the second male alignment member also being configured to nest with the first male alignment member when the first and second door facings are placed in a stacking relationship in which the first interior surface faces the second exterior surface, and a second female alignment member protruding in the direction of the second interior side relative to the second substantially planar main surface area, the second female alignment member being configured to align and mate with the first male alignment member when the first and second door facings are placed in the mating relationship, the second female alignment member also being configured to nest with the first female alignment member when the first and second door facings are placed in the stacking relationship; and placing the first and second door facings in the mating relationship to align and mate the second male alignment member with the first female alignment member and to align and mate the second female alignment member with the first male alignment member, thereby reducing or preventing misalignment between the first and second door facings.
