The definition "Plankedør sammenholdt af to tværgående og en skrå revle"
is precisely the phrase used in Hovmand & Andersen's Illustrated Building Dictionary.
Ledge: one of the two or three horizontal timbers on the back of a matchboarded door
revle (skråbånd): brace
The drawings make it quite clear - and I can warmly recommend the dictionary. It is not expensive in Denmark, though it might not be so easy to get hold of 'down under'

There is a battened door here:
