I am getting ready to replace the wood doors on my shed. I am going with the same materials, except I am chainging the hinges.
I am replacing this style hinge (not exact match but close)...
With this style hinge (looks like photo)...
Instead of screwing the hinges in place, I plan to bolt them in place. Currently there are three hinges on each of the two doors, which brings up a question ... Can I go with two hinges or do I still need three per door?
Originally I was going to replace the enitre doorway with a double steel door/frame but the price of the door alone would triple the cost. Instead I opted to replace with same wood but lose some of the decorative cross members (water seeps in too much) and better hinges. I think once it is primed, painted and caulked, it should last longer than the originals, which have lasted 19 years.
I am also replacing the hasp and inner door bolt-lock with slightly heavier and longer galvanized versions. The original cheap bolt-lock was never really long or strong enough to keep the one door closed. Any other tips or suggestions welcome. I want this to last me at least another ten years and I think the rest of the shed can do that easily.
