Thank you! You’re not supposed to cut the groove in the door all the way through so it has a stop at the end of the door. But really I can’t recommend connecting to the skirting.

@AstroHBF
@AstroHBF 3 жыл бұрын
Cheers mate! Issues with the closing of the door is that as you walk down the stairs you can almost see in the bog, not great for privacy. Also the stop I used on the floor, the first time the niece and nephew came round they tried to open it like a normal door and pulled it out the wall. Not ideal! I still think it looks great tho!

Great job. Just wondering, how do I know how tall the door should be, as too short it'll be too high up off the ground leaving a big gap under the door. Do you think a door 3cm above architrave is big enough? Also, would there be spacing / rubbing issues if fixed direct into studs? I noticed you mentioned that there's gaps / privacy issues down the stairs in previous comment so wondering if this would possibly help as closer fitting to wall? Many thanks
@AstroHBF
@AstroHBF 3 жыл бұрын
I went for the tallest door I could find, you could always cut it down if needed. As long as it is over the architrave it will be fine. I think you are right though, if the architrave wasn’t there then you would be fixing direct to the studs and there most likely wouldn’t be the privacy issues I had. The kit does have rubber spacers with it to bring it away from the wall a bit. I reckon you should try it!

Good job, but do you really need the 1by4 or cant I just screw the rail into the wall? Or is a case of distance required from the wall and architrave? Think most are a distance of 20mm from the wall which is a little more than the door frame.
@AstroHBF
@AstroHBF 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah you could just screw it in but I found the holes weren’t in the right spacing for my studs. This way the 1x4 went into the studs and then the rail into the 1x4

The table saw I bought an evolution rage S thingy from B&Q and while it is a good saw, the fence on it massively lets it down so I can’t recommend it. The sander is a little £20 one from B&Q www.diy.com/departments/bosch-80w-240v-corded-detail-sander-psm-8100a/4053423206456_BQ.prd It does the job fine but I just bought a £20 orbital sander from Aldi at the weekend and it’s much better
