Need help for determining thickness of a door from carpenters/ physics nerds

I'm building a door for my grow room.
This door is actually going to be framed in 2X lumber, but I'm not sure how thick I can make it. My jambs are 12 inches. So Can I make a door that is out of 2 x 12s also? Or will the thickness not allow it to close.

I can understand the path of the front of the door, but don't understand the path of direction for the back side of the door. If the door is to thick, it will not clear the jam, so I'm unsure on how to determine that path of motion of the back side of a door to know what the max thickness of my door can be.
Thanks.


Do all corners of the door looking down from the top rotate radial around the axis?

It would just require some special hinges picture a bank vault door and the way it opens. Though not at all practical a metal fire door like the ones going from a garage into a house is plenty strong as long as the casing and and locks you use are beafy also.

well even bank doors will have limitations depending on wether or not the hinges allow the door to come straight out and then open. I finally figured out a way to determine my thickness. All the points on a door rotate around the same axis. (the hinge pivot point) So what I did is just on paper take a compass from the axis to the jam and trace that path. (the door will be too thick and not open or close because it will hit the jam) Then I come perpendicular from the edge of the door to the intersection of that arc. That intersection is the max thickness the door can be.

I'll be using gate hinges. My door is actually going to double as a shelving unit too. So the door is going to be made of 2 x 6. So I'll have 6 inch shelves built into the door. Thanks for the reply.
