Tek Door — Detailed Guide
The last door of the Tek tier
The 
Tek Door is the final door to unlock in the Tek Tier building set of ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. ASE calls it Tek Door, while ASA lists it as Tek Doors & Windows. The game describes it as "A stable composite Tek door that provides entrance to structures. Can be locked for security." It fits only into a Doorframe, and once in place it can be locked, which keeps others out while your tribemates still get through.
Tekgram and crafting
The door is unlocked with a Tekgram that comes as a boss reward; the ARK Wiki says defeating the 
Megapithecus on medium difficulty grants it. Doors are crafted in a 
Tek Replicator or an 
Exo-Mek, and one craft yields 4. It takes 90 seconds (1.5 minutes), gives 5 XP and costs:
- 60
Crystal (or 
Primal Crystal) - 40
Polymer, 
Organic Polymer or 
Corrupted Nodule - 1
Element (or 
Red Element)
Each door weighs 4 and a stack holds 100, so a full stack comes to 400.
Protection and quirks
It counts as a Tek structure, and only a limited set of sources can damage it: Titans, Bosses and the 
DodoRex; Corrupted Creatures and Enraged Creatures; the 
Titanosaur and the 
Arthropluera; Tek Saddles and the 
Tek Rifle; and explosives. Its auto-open and auto-close behaviour can be configured. A house insulates the same with the door open, closed or gone, and a door dyed black shows up as dark magenta, per the wiki.
Our records count 20 crate types that can contain it, among them the Genesis Blue, Cyan and Green crates on Genesis Part 2, and list it on 14 maps.
