Where did you get the hardware for the doors? Really nice work – a great entrance piece to talk about while drinking the vino!

Excellent – I totally dig the theme look with recycled stuff. It has an old world feel you can only seem to get with recycled lumber or old wood.

Beautiful job, I love the Old look.
Tell us about the hinges? What type, and where did you find them? Those doors must weigh a ton.

The customer didn’t want to spend any money on hardware , so we made the clavos here in the shop, used four heavy duty ball bearing door hinges from the local hardware store (35 $ each ) and he provided the latch- lockset. We prehung everything on my flat work table . Because the jambs were so massive, they maintained their shape as we pushed them into the hole in the rock wall. I spent a lot of time on a template for the hole , then a plug to make shure it fit, then a jig from the plugs to make each one to it’s unique dimensions. Installation took only a few minutes with two people .We have a pair of whopper sized doors on the drawing board that will require design- built hinges-hardware.

If I were the customer of these doors you and I would of popped the best of the best in my cellar. This is a real woodworkers project. I wished that you would of blog the entire proccess. Great work Blkcherry

Those are impressive. I’m assuming this has to be a case where you make sure the frame fits the door instead of vice versa.

That is a DOOR! I love the mid-evil time period look of it.

It’s missing a massive iron knocker, though!
