I need to make a cupboard door. Size is 990mm x 915mm with a maximum thick ness of 37mm. It will be to replace two existing hollow doors on a large b edroom cupboard. The idea in having a single door is so that a TV can be m ounted on it. The door fits into a conventional door frame as installed by the builders s o is flush with the front of the frame.
Initially I thought about making a hollow door with lap joints at the corne rs and a vertical rib to take the TV mount and then cover it with MDF which will be painted. Then I wondered if I was over complicating things and I should just use a sheet of 18mm MDF. MDF would be about 12Kg and the TV ab out 5Kg so heavy but not massively so. The problem with this solution woul d be the hinges - I don't like the idea of screwing into the edge of the MD F. Googling shows that other people either do it without a problem or set dowels into the edge and then screw into these. So anyone have any thought s?
Peter.
