The contractor who installed these double french doors leading to the patio did an awful job installing the simple door trim around it.
Molding around french doors.
Rake molding represents the architrave which is positioned above the opening and on top of pilaster legs.
This is what is installed on the lower part of the walls in the home and along a finished floor.
The fit and finish of the trim was the worst i d ever seen in my life.
Exterior door casings that are exposed to the elements often rot at the bottom due to the absorption of rainwater through the wood s end grain.
The casing is what surrounds the interior doors and windows.
Perched above fluted pilasters the top of the door surround shown left follows the three part order of a classical entablature.
The base molding around a door is called the baseboard.

So i had to do something about it.
To prevent rot when replacing outside door casings such as brick mold use casing made from plastic composite material.
Apply wood preservative to the end grain of the casing.
