HI All,
Student let season!!
Got myself a decent little contract doing firedoors. This is know newbie to me however working with old 35mm frames is.
The last time I fit 44mm door in a 35mm frame I chiselled the rebate to 44mm, took forever and I wasnt overly happy with the finish.
Now that I am doing these I thought I will try a router, pain in the ass as I hit a few nails.
What do most people do when due to cost you are not to change the frames, and I'm serious the frames can be changed but are suitable for fire doors. Are door jambs removable on most frames (house from 1920s) they dont look removable as they are the full width of the case (minus rebate).
If routing how do you go about doing it.
I saw one previously doctored frame where the joiner added 10mm outwards to the frame with some well fixed timber and the put the archetrave on top of this, looked alright but I'm sure i could get it looking better if this is a practice others use.
Please let me know any thoughts/ideas
cheers
