sunburst eagle post office door banks

I used that type in my “double postal box” I posted. I finished the box and top and then installed the doors before gluing the top on.

Thank you so much for your input! The one you made is amazing. I figured I may have to do it this way. I’m sure it will be worth it. Once again thank you.

Be sure to predrill the holes for the screws and wax the screws before inserting as they are REALLY tough to redo when you twist one off! (don’t ask). Also be sure you tape where you are going to glue as glue doesn’t work well on finished wood (again, don’t ask).

A few other ways to attach these kinds of door:
Not recommended, but it works to grind the interior tabs back, or off and drill mounting holes through the frame.
The nicest way is to rout a bead on the edge of the wood matching the profile of the existing curve on the edge of the door. This way you have a very neat, clean, none mechanical way of attaching the door without modifying the door at all. This is the way I normally mount sunburst eagles, and the other PO Box doors with this design. Originally, these doors were held in their Post Office Boxes with long steal rods that attached multiple doors all at once vertically.
