Default Arched doorway

Is there a simple way of fitting a door to an arched internal walkway?

I could probably use off the shelf items for the doors and straight
bits, but how would the frame be fitted to the arch? Is there a wood
that can be shaped to accomodate the door then soaked or steamed to
get it to follow the contour?


I think we need a bit more info, and possibly a photo or two of what you
are trying to do. Obviously a rectangular door in a frame, with the
arched section simply filled is easy. However if you want a door with an
arched top, or an elegant arched glazed panel etc above the door then
that gets harder.
