Word after door or before polish (4)

I believe the answer is:

nail

(Other definitions for nail that I've seen before include "Hit this on the head to be bang-on" , "Horny part of the digit" , "Hit this on the head to be bang on" , "Hammered individual" , "Measure of cloth" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
