Drill a couple of deep countersinks in the bottom for the screws, glue
and screw it in place. Buy a six-pack or case of beer for the guy that
made it for you.


I use (and recommend using) dowels instead of screws for this purpose.

Several advantages--no metal staining w/ time/weather, no countersink
hole or short plug to cover the hole and by far the biggest plus is one
can trim the door to fit now and in future w/o worry over hitting the
screws and screwing up either a blade or plane.
