I've had door feedback for a while. I used the Aeotec Door/Window Sensor 7 Series
I just installed a Kwikset ZW500 (lock with no keypad). Shows up as a Schlage FE599/BE369 Lock
How do I combine these into a functioning 'door' so that I can use the door control dashboard element? I don't see a built in app for doors and have exhausted everything I know to try. What am I missing
I'm not sure I understand your question. By "door feedback" do you mean a contact sensor that tells you whether a door is open or closed? Does the device driver for the lock work even though it is misidentified? And last I think the door control dashboard tile is meant for garage door openers, though I could be wrong since I don't actually have a garage! I don't see anything in your post about having a device to open and shut the door, just a contact sensor and lock. If that's the case you can definitely create tiles that represent both, as long as the kwikset lock is actually working with the driver.
The door feedback is magnetic contact.
The lock and unlock command work from the device page, so I would consider that as working. There are no preloaded drivers for kwikset, so I wouldn't know what else to use.
There is a Garage (control) template for garage doors. I assumed the door controller was for displaying a door status along with giving the ability to click it to lock or unlock it.
Perhaps others can weigh in on this but I don't think that's the case. I think it's meant for a garage door opener controller that actually opens and closes the door. I just use a door status tile and a lock tile side by side. The lock tile lets you lock and unlock the door. I also use the "reliable door lock" app, which has some built-in retries and improves the reliability of the lock.
I also use a contact sensor and lock tile side by side, and I also use the reliable lock app.
I have a Kwikset 914 z-wave + lock. I use the "generic z-wave lock" driver. That's the one that's recommended in the list of compatible devices documentation for all of the Kwikset z-wave locks.

I changed to the generic driver and it at least works correctly from the lock tile.
This is disappointing to have to use two tiles for what one could do. I have 5 exterior doors and was hoping to consolidate the functionality.
I'm wondering what it would show? Whether the door is open or closed is a different question from whether a lock is locked or not. Those are two different devices.
You could try an app like Tile Master. I think that would allow you to consolidate those two tiles.
Yes on both accounts. Unless you have some type of door opener, I am not sure what a combined tile would get you anyway?
I suppose you could have an app that simulated a garage door from the door lock and contact sensor, but again if you don't have an auto opener or closer, I am not sure what it would get you?
There are the apps like Tile Master above (there are others too if I remember correctly) if you just want a status tile. But you won't have control with that combined tile.
Maybe I am not understanding, but why wouldn't having the lock and the door open status side by side be sufficient? Is there some use case we aren't understanding here?
If you’re trying to save real estate you can always use CSS to create transparent tiles and overlay them…
