Create a rectangle of size 2330x2750mm.

Offset 50mm as a frame. 90mm for the left side.Explode the rectangle.

By divide "DIV" divide the top line into 4 segments.From the division point, draw lines vertically to divide it into shutters.

Offset 25mm on both sides for the thickness, delete the centre line.

Create a rectangle to show the panels.Offset 20mm from the 1st rectangle and offset 100mm from the 2nd rectangle.Draw lines joining the corners of the outside and inside rectangle.

Create the panel as a block, so that it is easy to copy.Create lock by rectangle command, and fillet the corners with radius 5mm.

By using the copy all the frames are copied.

Layer is created and all the objects are kept in different layers.

Creating block:

Command "B" - give name as door 1 - pick point- select corner point- select object - select the full object - ok.Select scale uniformly and allow exploding.
