Several options:
• Create your own door
• If you're lucky the door you like exports with separated groups. This would make separating front and back a lot easier. See the How-To listed below.
• If you're not that lucky you need something like Blender to separate the front and back materials.
• This thread explains how to add deformations (opening the door)

Here is a How-To to change material names:

The catalog proposes a front door with materials different for its two sides, but you’re right there’s no interior door with similar ability.
I could create one based on an existing model. Which one in the library would you prefer it looks like?

Thank you.

If you could create one based on the classic "door" by eTeks it will be perfect

You'll find the door in the library DoorWithTwoSides.sh3f.
Hope it has enough materials to create the arrangement you want to achieve.

Hi! Thank you very much for this post! In addition to a door with changeable sides, I've been looking for a sidelight with different colored sides/textures. I'm a newbie to Blender and have been struggling to figure this out. Here's any example:

Image

I'm trying to make it so the sidelights are able to be a different texture than the front door both on the front and the back. What I'm ultimately trying to do is make my front door red on the exterior with dark brown/charcoal exterior sidelights but the interior portion of the door white with white sidelights (like the example).

Appreciate any help you could provide with this.

Do you have a 3D model for this? If you do, upload it to a filehost like mediafire and post the download link here. That way we can download it and fix the different textures/material names for you.
There is also a manual on dodecagon.nl that explains how to change material names but it requires manual editing of the OBJ and MTL files of the model. This example might be a bit challenging for a first try.

Sure! Here is a mediafire link containing the 3d model I've been trying to edit. It is in dae format (if that matters)mediafire link I'm not married to this particular model, so if there's anything specifically frustrating about editing it, I have a few alternate options I can share if needed.

I have a basic understanding of how to edit mtl and obj files in notepad to correct filenames, if that helps. [:))]
