Doors:
OK - only part DIY and part subbed to some carpenters who know what they are doing.
We have 3 sliders due to space constraints. 2 swingers where that is not a problem.
2 door frames I put in years ago as solid oak. The architrave is oak.
3 frames are actually with their original liners, but clad in some 5mm thick oak planks I got machined by a local yard. These are nailgunned on with some PU foaming glue as well.
Architraves are nailgunned on with a bit of PU glue.
Doors were made out of yellow pine by a local carpenter and his chaps hung them and put my trim on.
I'm afraid, apart from the design and prep of the old frames and the 2 complete frames I built and installed, the only DIY bit is the paintjob.
But I thought it would be interesting to share for a few points with respect to the sliders in particular.
1) I chose a chamfered architrave so the sliders would pull across the flat bits. The carpenter suggested adding 2 vertical brush strips to help the seal and these work well - only a mm or two gap in places and a pretty good light and sound seal.
2) It took a while to find a suitable bolt for the bedroom door and the bathroom door. Each has a 5mm hole drilled through the keep to the back of the door so they can be released from outside but pushing a screwdriver in and pushing the bolt end back.
3) Coating is Treatex Hardwax Oil
One coat clear on the oak (except inside the bathroom, when I used 2) and 1 coat "Medium Oak" colour on the pine doors which is a good colour match for the frames.
The door slider gear is a fully enclosed channel so not prone to the doors jumping off in fact it is not possible). The slider channel is bolted through a piece of packing timber into the wall for spacing.
The style will not be everyone's taste - it's fairly rustic, but it suits this place.
So, tick - another job done :)
