| '''Doors''' are movable barriers used to cover up openings; typically, such barriers are attached to the very openings they block. Doors are a basic component of architecture among all known major civilizations.
| | Below is a list of the various door shapes and colors seen in the Halo games. |
|
| |
|
| ==Overview== | | === [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] === |
| Like all technology created by the various organizations and civilizations that have existed throughout history, the doors they create are typically representative of their overall design styles and aesthetic preference.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Types==
| | *[[Pillar of Autumn (Level)|Pillar of Autumn]]: Two-part [[human]]-made sliding doors. |
| Types of doors include [[Shield door]]s and [[Blast door]]s.
| | |
| ===Covenant===
| | *[[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved Level)|Halo]]: N/A |
| The [[Covenant]] frequently use curves as well as bright purples, blues, and grays in the design of their technology; everything from weapons to cities. The doors incorporate the curves and colors standard to Covenant design, most notably in [[High Charity]]. While many Covenant doors have indicator lights and work by sliding in and out of the walls, the doors in High Charity also flash and emit a tone when approached.{{Ref/Level|CE|[[The Truth and Reconciliation]]}}{{Ref/Level|H2|[[Gravemind (level)|Gravemind]]}}{{Ref/Level|Id=Cortana|H3|[[Cortana (level)|Cortana]]}}

| | *[[The Truth and Reconciliation (Level)|The Truth and Reconciliation]]: Two-part [[Covenant]] doors. |

| | |
| ===Humanity=== | | *[[343 Guilty Spark (Level)|343 Guilty Spark]]: Triangular, tri-segmented Forerunner doors. |
| [[Human]] technology for doors has progressed over the past centuries. While most doors in the past have been based on a hinge system, the doors seen on Earth and equally-developed off-world [[Human colonies|colonies]] are almost exclusively sliding (except for the antiquated doors in [[Crow's Nest]]),{{Ref/Level|Id=crows|H3|[[Crow's Nest]]}} either opened by proximity or a switch located on the door itself. Like most human technology applied to everything from roads to spacefaring military vessels, the design is simple and geometric (with some discrepancies) with straight lines and angles, and involves blacks, grays, and browns. Most doors have a light on them that is either green to indicate that it is open or can be opened, or red to indicate that it is locked.{{Ref/Level|Id=poa|CE|[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]}}{{Ref/Level|H2|[[Cairo Station]]}}{{Ref/Level|H3|[[The Storm]]}} While human doors usually consist of one or two sliding segments, there are some exceptions, such as the multi-segmented doors in some of [[Reach]]'s industrial facilities.{{Ref/Level|HR|[[Tip of the Spear]]}}{{Ref/Level|HR|[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]}} Reinforced [[blast door]]s are a common sight in [[military base]]s and [[UNSC starship|starships]],{{Ref/Reuse|crows}}{{Ref/Reuse|poa}} but are also used in cities, such as [[New Mombasa]], to close off certain sections in emergencies.{{Ref/Level|ODST|[[Mombasa Streets]]}} | | |

| | *[[The Library (Level)|The Library]]: Massive Forerunner security doors. Several smaller types of doors. |

| | *[[Cairo Station (Level)|Cairo Station]]: High-tech automatic doors with a light indicating their status. |
| ===Forerunner===
| | |
| Doors built by the [[Forerunner]]s are completely geometric and incorporate the similar light grays, browns, and blues of the rest of their technology. The doors themselves are geometric and often slide in multiple parts. They also have complex geometric designs on them, often patterned. This same trend can be seen on floors of Forerunner structures.{{Ref/Level|CE|[[The Silent Cartographer]]}}{{Ref/Level|CE|[[Assault on the Control Room]]}}{{Ref/Level|H2|[[The Arbiter]]}} [[John-117]] used a Forerunner door from the ''[[Anodyne Spirit]]'' to breach the [[Earth]]'s atmosphere during the [[Battle for Earth]].{{Ref/Level|H3|Arrival}}
| | *[[Outskirts]]: Un-passable grey doors with yellow upside down triangles. Large doors in the highway tunnel. |

| | *[[Sacred Icon (Level)|Sacred Icon]]: Forerunner [[Piston]]s. |
| ===Flood=== | | |
| {{Main|Porta}}
| | *[[Quarantine Zone (Level)|Quarantine Zone]]: Large Forerunner vehicle doors containing multiple segments which spin 90° and retract upwards. |
| While the [[Flood]] do not have what we consider conventional architecture, they build their structures out of biomass they have consumed, adding to the disturbing overall impression of [[Flood hive|their hives]] being living things unto themselves. Flood doors, called [[Porta]]s, are built from biomass of infected hosts, and resemble valves like those in the heart. They open based on proximity. While the sections of the door itself retract, the circular frame of the door contracts at the same time.{{Ref/Reuse|Cortana}}{{Ref/Map|H3|[[Isolation]]}}

| | *[[Gravemind (Level)|Gravemind]]: Multi-layered Covenant doors. |

| | |
| | == Trivia == |
| | *The object [[John-117]] rode to Earth in the [[Arrival (Level)|beginning]] of Halo 3 is apparently a some sort of Forerunner door, part of the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]]. |
| | * The triangular, tri-segmented Forerunner door is the most commonly seen door model in the Halo trilogy. |
