You can do this or you can buy an all in one family.... but I don't recommend it.  It is far easier to have multiple families here and you don't "have to create again and again". 

To create multiple panel types in one family, use a nested family for the panel and set which nested type you use in the door family by using parameters.  This is a complicated process so you will be spending time learning how to do this.  Start by downloading the "families guide" from the autodesk site.

The fast process is to use one working well door family, copy that to a new name and revise it to add lites, then copy that family to a new name to add louver.

You have come here asking for advice and I have given you some.   Learning how is a good thing.  Believing you can learn how quickly and without even looking at the resources I pointed you to is your mistake.

Sorry you don't take any guidance.
