Hi,
Having doors fitted at the moment and there is a problem. Door frames are deal with 48mm rebate. Doors are 42mm thick. Doors are flush with frame one side of door which has hinge, but this leaves a 6mm gap on the other side of the door when it is closed, ie. it does not pull up tight to the frame.
It doesn't look great. Sorry didn't manage to get a picture. Doors are oak and frames are deal and will be painted white/off-white.
I can't blame chippie for this I think. I chose the frames and had them fitted ages ago and I chose the doors. So I am looking for some ideas. I can think of a few but I'm not sure if they're going to work out...
1. Fit a 6mmX10mm strip into gap - hard to cut strip to side, hard to glue/fit and hide...
2. Fit one of those rubber seals (draught excluder?) - might not look so good, get grubby, tear over time
3. Fit an additional 'door stop' strip (eg. 80mmX10mm) on inside of frame - reduces overall width of opening, reduces space from frame to handle.
If anyone can understand this problem (sorry hard to explain without pictures) and has any additional suggestions I would be grateful...
Thanks
