Internal door fitting

Tap the two stiles, these types of door mainly contain egg boxes as separat ors between the skins so in the main will sound hollow. The stile containin g the lock spacer will sound solid in the region it is fixed. Better qualit y ones will tend to have more wood in the framework and will feel notably h eavier, with this type it does not usually matter which stile is used for w hich and may explain the lack of any indicator.

From (what I think is the correct spec for those doors - best you check yourself)

"Perimeter Framing (Whitewood): 28 x 28mm (35mm Imperial Doors)*

Full Width Lock Block (Whitewood): 54 x 28mm (35mm Imperial Doors)*" positioned 880mm from top of door (54mm long).

Maximum edge trim 5mm of All Edges"

so hinges anywhere, presume the 880mm falls just below the middle panels?

I think Harry's is a solid particle board core, a diagram further into the PDF I linked to seems to imply for the safe'n'sound core type you can fit locks anywhere.

It doesn't really matter where you put the hinges - the frame member will be of constant width all the way down.

But there should be a lock block on one side or other. This is usually indicated with a little icon or coloured blob either on the edge in the lock position or on the top or bottom near one corner to show which is the lock side. It may not be very prominent, so look carefully!

Failing that, you my be able to use a stud finder to find solid inserts such as the lock block - or you may be able to detect different degrees of hollowness simply by tapping it in likely places.

Thanks, I searched the site but failed to find that.

But as I mentioned later, the safe'n'sound type don't have a lock block as they're solid (well particle board) construction, so fit handles anywhere.
