JohnnyNoName Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Does anyone have some resources or words of wisdom for building an exterior door? I have a friend that needs a new exterior door for his house which is in a historic district. It looks like it is just going to be a "copy-a-paste" situation. I'm just going to duplicate what is there, aside from the hardware. Thanks in advance, Jonathan ========================================== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sac Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Go to the chat room on the Live page and talk to Nabil. He is the man to talk to about doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardnesd Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Use ticking sticks. Also, a door was my input for the next guild build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyNoName Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Use ticking sticks. Also, a door was my input for the next guild build. What a coincidence! I JUST watched Popular Woodworking's video on it. http://blog.woodworking-magazine.com/blog/New+Video+Fit+Doors+With+Ticking+Sticks.aspx Jonathan ============================================ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be 1 3/4 thick for a 36" inch wide door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
