Doors

'Your Library is still not functional; you must enlarge it!' - The Mentor (DK2)

This article is more than a stub, but still needs expansion. You can help by adding to it.

Doors can be used as defence, for controlling creature movement, or for improving room efficiency. They block all non-friendly units from passing through, and are mostly used to halt enemies or lock creatures in a specific region of a dungeon. They can be locked and unlocked by the Keeper that owns the door.

When a door is open because a creature is near it, enemy creatures can sneak in. You can use this to your advantage against a Keeper that has a lot of doors but keeps them unlocked.
