This door is the same iconic shape as the others, with the oval glass inset. However, it has a maple veneer and two different types of handles, the first is similar to those on Door Set #2 and Door #3 while the second (see above) is made of wood and brass. This door apparently bordered crew and passenger space as there is a "No Crew" sign on the back side. The wooden frame bordering the top and other side of the door has come loose but is also included to ensure proper installation.
