How to make closet french doors.

Buy the replacement door. Measure the door frame. This is one of those things that when it breaks turns out to actually be a blessing in disguise. Set doors on hinges add pins and make sure the doors close and open correctly.

Use a chisel to cut out notch for hinges so they sit flush on the doors and door frame. Buy an unfinished french door frame or two single doors with pre cut centerpieces from your local lumber store. Measure the door frame to make sure the new doors will fit. Trace the outline of hinges on doors and door frame.

When the door meets the magnet it catches and stays closed. But all these stupid doors take up so much space for real i hate doors when they open so i didn t want normal sized doors. And for the greatest stability a major requirement for entry doors i decided to make the stiles and rails using stave construction a building method commonly used by exterior door manufacturers rather than solid lumber. The key to this project is a new router bit set designed expressly for french doors.

So when the bi fold door on the closet in our bedroom broke off the track and was beyond repair i decided to use it as an opportunity to turn it into a set of french doors. So sliding doors were out of the question for in here. When that s all done you re left with a lovely closet door that swings out just like fancy french doors.
