Not sure about the correct lingo as I have never made timber doors before. Most of the info I have looked at comes from the USA and refers to cope and stick

Thanks but..... the application is for 45mm(1 3/4") thick entry doors. the router bit suggested wont route timber that thick.

If you have a scribing gouge you can do it by hand. A 1/4 round or oval mould is easiest. For glass doors rebate everything except the mould. Mitre the rail mould, that is the scribe profile, pare to the profile and you are scribed. You will also need to remove the stile mould the length of the non-moulded width of the rail to close the joint.
