Double-door-a-palooza! This weekend found three new doors at Dan's<\/a> house and one at Erin's<\/a>… a four-door-weekend.<\/p>\n

We replaced Dan's front door<\/a> not long ago and this weekend, we hatched a plan for a pair of closet doors and \u2014 just for fun \u2014 a garage door.<\/p>\n

\nDan has been doing quite a lot of work<\/a> on his Eichler, including turning a "utility" room into livable space. With the help of Glen Wagner at Anderson Heating and a few other folks, he replaced his boiler and enclosed it in a closet and relocated his laundry and hot-water heater to the garage. This opened up a large (78in) space for a closet in this newly re-envisioned room. Added to the fact that the original coat closet was absorbed by the adjoining master-bedroom closet in another part of the renovation, it made a lot of sense to have some storage space here. Dan framed it out, put up the sheetrock and I showed up to a blank canvas Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

However, within a few hours, it became apparent \u2014 like it often does with these sorts of projects \u2014 that in order to frame out the closet properly, we really needed to replace the adjoining door to the garage at the same time… a project that was a bit further down the to-do list. A run to Home Depot and a few hours later, we had the door in place and were ready to proceed with the closets.<\/p>\n

We started by framing the adjoining door; determining the edges of the closet; and installing the steel sliding door track and overhead fascia\/skirting to hide the track \u2014 very similar to how it was done originally. The new doors tip into place at an angle, so it was important to get the spacing just right \u2014 close enough to hide the track, far enough out so that the doors can tip in. This is a bit different from the originals that lifted into place vertically and ran on wooden tracks.<\/p>\n

When we made our own doors<\/a>, it was very difficult to rebate\/rabbet the edges for the inset grasscloth panels \u2014not to mention that the real wood twisted a bit. Dan has used MDF moulding on much of his house and Friday night, I got an idea to create some quick Eichler-style closet doors using the same warp-free moulding (joined with biscuits and glue) and facing the back of the doors with a smooth piece of plywood for overall structural strength (inset an inch on the sides for a smoother look) \u2014 much simpler than the inset panel and by face-gluing and stapling the plywood to the otherwise wobbly MDF frame, everything tightened up nicely. Since most of Dan's house is white, the smooth panels will look good simply painted \u2014 and we were able to make a pair of original looking doors in just a few hours… and they're dead flat and hang straight.<\/p>\n
