Hi all.
I'm fitting an internal door. partially glazed Oak door, if that is at all relevant.
The frame is new, as installed by a joiner who i do not wish to see again (before you suggest getting him back!)
I have fitted two other doors in new frames, and all went well, if a little slowly.
This frame, however, has a banana in the hinge side frame. The frame bows out at mid-height by about 5mm or so.
WHat do I do?
Seems a pain to plain the frame down. I am not keen to plane a banana out of the door - the hinges wouldn't work then.
Do i skip the centre hinge and pack out the top and bottom hinge?
I can see architrave problems if i do that.
I dont want to take the frame out if i can help it. There seem to be a lot of nails and an awful lot of expanding foam and packers involved. It may be that over-zealousness with the foam has caused the problem.
saw out the foam and fix back?
help!
Nice door - shame to a*se it up!
(edit: this is a flat softwood frame, that will have planted rebates, rather than an oak frame as part of a door-set)
