When is a door not a door?

When Helen removes it and starts to work on it….

Yep, Today was the big day when we finally got round to sorting out the back door, this is a task which has been in the works for quite a while.

Firstly we needed to trim the peg at the top of the door which goes into the hole in the frame. The problem with the current door is that you can remove the door even if the door is closed and bolted. Not any more the peg is now cut and designed so that the door can only be removed when it is in a full open position.

The bottom of the door sits on this little metal plate and there is a strip on the door which matches it and this in the main pivot of the door.

With the small modifications to the door complete it was time to assemble the frame and fit the door into it to check it would fit and also so we can make and cut the frame to length, We cut the pieces for the fame a while ago but for some reason it never made it to the blog.
