Terry,
You're probably going to need to provide more specificity in order to have much hope of getting any useful information. Which vessel, which scale, what part of the ship, material, etc.? Anything to narrow down the ask will improve your results.

I agree with the words by @Namabiiru - some more information will be necessary, so that we all can think about where to buy or how to make.
Maybe also with the help of one or two photos of your project...
Once you searched for the drawings of the Mamoli Royal Louis .....

Maybe you can explore the possibilities of scratch building/custom creating them for yourself, perhaps with the aid of such tools as laser cutting devices, if access to such is available to you. Every little detail constitutes a model in itself, a time-consuming process demanding lots of patience and creativity. I like to see what I can come up with the simplest old analog hand tools I have on hand. I am particularly fascinated and astonished by the products of the 18th and 19th c. French prisoners of war in England during her endless wars with France. Some of these hapless victims of the vicissitudes of war were incarcerated for more than twenty years in exile from their native land, deprived of access to the best tools and conditions available even under the best of circumstances in those technologically basic times. But then I am an aging analog guy in a digital world. 
Best of success in resolving this and all the many issues that will come up with your projects.

Wooden doors and windows will be a sticky problem…perhaps only available from a forum member adept in cdc milling. I have not found an open on-line source for wooden windows and doors. Plastic is more common under model railroad structure websites. Sometimes you can get batches of random windows and doors that you can fit into your models. I have done this often. Then paint the plastic in a good wood tone acrylic such as burnt umber or burnt or raw sienna. Styrene plastic shapes are my favorite ship modeling resource! Of course there is also the etched brass variety that often comes standard in kits but I like to avoid that when possible. So I will be watching to see if a solution for wood window and door accessories pops up with your inquiry! By the way…I am with Peter…an aging analog guy in a digital world!

Good suggestions. Now I am better informed as to resources.
One more thought...make your own from wood stock. Make wood doors and fit with hinges and what ever. Make window frames and fill in with cross pieces. The easy way to add the cross pieces is to back the window frame with clear plastic...then you can drop the cross pieces in place onto the plastic. Not the easiest solution...especially for the windows...but it is a solution. Personally, I would use styrene plastic shapes to frame up windows, etc., rather than wood strips. Then paint the white styrene as I mentioned above. I did that for the quarter galleries on my Constitution model...used styrene strip shapes…but then the quarter gallery moldings were all white so no painting needed…

Не знаю где можно купить, не разу не видел чтобы продавались окна и двери. Но можно самому изготовить из дерева, нечего сложного в этом нет, хоть работа довольно кропотливая. Вот фото дверей и окон как делаю я, может будет полезно. Ручки - гвозди, имитация петлей - куски проволоки 0.8 мм. Собираю на основании из фанеры 1мм. Нужен минимальный набор инструментов. Если окна, и двери сложной формы размачиваю рейки в воде, и сгибаю с помощью термоапликатора.

Very creative. I like the wood. But then I'm basically a woodworker.
Hard to execute in wood by hand at that scale.
