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?
I was thinking of having the hinge pins pointing in opposite directions,
but actually my door closes into the fram and the top frame member is
steel, so I'll keep them the same way. Yes, the lowlife could attack with
grinder, but that would make noise which would be heard.
But yes, I am probably verging on overkill as there are other security
measures in place around the property.
