Can't Build Reinforced Door

[Crabapple]

Hey guys, I'm on Day 20. My survivors are getting beat up again and again by thugs, no matter how many guards I post and guns I have. I'm trying to build a reinforced door to protect them, but no matter what I've tried, the game won't let me. I have all the materials required (15 wood, 30 components, two parts, and four electric parts) but at my level three work bench, it won't let me craft it. It remains grey and uncraftable. This is becoming very frustrating, as protecting my survivors is paramount. Anyone have any advice/similar problems? I'm playing on my rigged out 2011 Mac Book Pro, not that that should matter.

EDIT: Yes, I've boarded up the three windows, and there is no more board up option.

I've had a similar problem with the food traps. I've built two but it still stays grey making me think that I can build another. Even when I have all the needed parts, I can't build it.

But that does sound like a bug.

Other things that could help: Make sure to have ammo for your guards, have a weapon for everyone in the house at night even if they aren't on guard, if you have the character that's good at combat use him as one of the guards, it might also help if your guards aren't Tired.

Yep I exactly had the same problem followed by a raid on 3 nights in a row. all the holes are covered. all the materials are collected and yet couldn't build the door.

Game only randomly give me 2 players to start with. Barely managed to survive upto 17th night. 3 nights before the carnage, I decided to let my (only) two survivers to stay at the shelter since they were slightly wounded.

Same night... first raid. all the slight wounds on survivers became wounds. Ok. all cool.. can I build the door now? well it seems I still cant. So lets repeat the same thing. make sure everyone stays in the shelter, guarding... boom.. second raid. All wounds become deep wounds.. f.......ck.... really? two day in a row.. and yet still cant build that f.king door...

Ok ! surely there can't be a third raid in a row... but still lets make everyone guards the shelter... Anoter f.,ckiing boom!!! brand new raid with a total carnage. everyone in the house is dead. Imagine my frustration and annoyment.. a stupid bug that doesn't allow me to build the door + the feeling that the developer is doing everything in his/her hand so that I can not finish the game.
