Dead as a doornail:
If you hammer a nail through a piece of timber and then flatten the end over on the inside so it can?t be removed again (a technique called clinching), the nail is said to be dead, because you can?t use it again. Doornails would very probably have been subjected to this treatment to give extra strength in the years before screws were available. So they were dead because they?d been clinched. It sounds plausible, but whether it?s right or not we will probably never know. -

go to the wall;
receive one's death warrant,
make one's will, step out,
die a natural death,
go out like the snuff of a candle;
come to an untimely end;
catch one's death;
pass in one's chips [U.S.];
join the greater number,
join the majority;
come to dust,
turn to dust;
cross the Stygian ferry
out of the world,
taken off,
released;
departed this life;
dead and gone;
dead as a doornail,
dead as a doorpost,
dead as a mutton,
dead as a herring,
dead as nits;
launched into eternity,
gathered to one's fathers,
numbered with the dead.
