Most doors nowadays are hollow core, thus lighter. Here in the south, even front and back doors are sometimes hollow. In older homes (60 years or more), all doors are solid but are also usually thinner, maybe 3/4 inch thick. Instead of the normal 7-8' x 3'2" or 2'6", you'll find 6-7' x 2'8" to 2'4". At least that is what I've run into when doing renovations. In such older houses often double doors were used where more modern wide doors are placed nowadays.
Now, as to medieval doors, I picture thick solid oak doors in the castle (a useful place for the portable ram), thin pine doors on shops and bars (as the wealth level increases for a business, so would the thickness of the doors), and ramshackle piece-meal doors or curtains for peasants.
