What is a Stile?
Stiles are the vertical pieces of the door, as compared to the Rails which are the horizontal pieces. Stiles are an important part of the door to consider when specifying locking hardware or other hardware that will be mounted near to the Stiles of the door. Particularly, Stile width is important for Mortise locks and Exit devices because they can take up a lot of space on the door and if the Stiles are not wide enough you may not be able to use that hardware. The Stiles are usually going to be beveled on the edges, but they can be square edges as well.
