Wooden Doorframe
A wooden doorframe is a constructable wall used for shelter and defense.
Usage
Wooden doorframes are a defensive structure from the carpentry skill that are used to hold constructable doors for the player to enter/exit. This allows the player easy access to their structure without risking climbing over a wall, or having an exposed gap for zombies to enter through. Doorframes are not attacked by zombies, but the wooden doors built into them can be destroyed by zombies. If a door is missing or destroyed, zombies will walk through the door.
Wooden doorframes can be destroyed with a sledgehammer. They can also be plastered and painted using paint and a paintbrush.
Crafting
To build a wooden doorframe, a player must have a hammer, planks, and nails in their inventory, or on the ground within reach. They must also have at least level 2 carpentry. Unlike the wooden wall and wooden window, the wooden doorframe does not require a wooden frame to be built first. The level of doorframe built is based on the player's carpentry level. It cannot be selected by the player. However, lower level doorframes can be upgraded later by the player.

Code
function ISWoodenDoorFrame:getHealth()
return 300 + buildUtil.getWoodHealth(self);
end
buildUtil.getWoodHealth = function(ISItem)
if not ISItem or not ISItem.player then
return 100;
end
local playerObj = getSpecificPlayer(ISItem.player)
local health = (playerObj:getPerkLevel(Perks.Woodwork) * 50);
if playerObj:HasTrait("Handy") then
health = health + 100;
