Glad to hear someone support this notion. If the finished door seems too
twisty or flimsy, I can add vertical jambs

But without any real connection to the horizontals (there must be a
real name for them, stiles?). On a normal door they would be tightly
morticed together and the brace(s) notched in. The cladding is then
just that decorative cladding, things do change with 3/4" T&G
"cladding" but I don't know in what way.

One thing that I'm pondering about is the "axle housings" for want of a
better term.

Hinge pins.

They screw onto the outside face of the door frame, using 6 crews.

Why faff about undoing the crews when you can just lift the door off,
maybe? If it closes fully into the frame a scroat wouldn't be able to
just lift it. If you stop the screws being removed they'll just angle
grind the hinge bands through.
