I just made a couple of doors for a new storage room using cypress. I'm ready to hang them, but my concern is if I use wood screws that the may eventually pull loose being that cypress is so soft. Any recommendations? I would like to use a standard door hinge, but I am thinking I may have to use a T hinge with a through bolt on the door.
After installing the screws, I remove each one and squirt some CA in the holes and reset the screws. This will harden the wood around the screws and prevent loosening.
Mark the locations for the screws and drill into the wood for 1/2" dia. dowels. Glue the dowels in place ; then drill for the hinge screws.
