Slit (door)

[lobelia.ophrys]

Hello everybody,

I'm wondering if I can say this:

"A gust of wind rushes out of the mansion through the slit of the door" ?

The door is of course closed.

Thank you!

If the door is closed, I wouldn't have any idea what the "slit" was.

The things all around a door. When you see light all around a closed door in the dark you know, like in horror movies for example?

The doors I have use a molding on the door frame to eliminate gaps so that wind and light and snow don't come through -- so slit doesn't leap to mind.

I know the expression 'the crack under the door'. You might like to do an online search for the phrase to see it in use.

"Chinks" in the door, "gaps" round the door. In my mansion the gusts of wind rush in though.

Thank you so so much! That's precisely what I'm looking for!

Thanks a lot!
