Interal door edgeing

[allanlaw]

Hi, i've just found this site, but i wish i had found it months ago and i would have saved a fortune!!!!

Im nearly finished dec. my first home but my latest problem is a bought two internal glazed hardwood doors and had two cut off more than the hardwood finished edges, im now left with patchy cheap wood around the edges of my doors, ive been told you can get some sort of tape (35mm) you iron in but cant find it anywhere? Ive tried all the big boys like jewson, hewden b&Q etc. Any suggestions??

cheers in advance!

Are you sure they are hardwood doors?

Hmmmm sounds like your doors are more likely veneer- or plywood-faced and lipped chipboard (like most fire doors). In any case you won't find many firms doing iron on edging wider than 22mm, mainly because MFC (melamine-faced chipboard) used for kitchen cabinets generally is used in 18 or 15mm thicknesses. The only way I can think to edge doors like yours is to get flat "beading", i.e. 40mm x 4mm hardwood lippings, glue these on then trim with a good sharp hand plane. Oh, and B&Q do sell these. Use a good exterior grade PVA glue and tape the lippings in place tightly with masking tape while the glue sets (24 hours)

just to add to what scrit has said
i am assuming you have taken the door down to the correct size!!!!!
without allowance for the edging sou youll need to remove another 6mm[3mm each side or 6mm one side] before you affix the edging otherwise your likely to break through again and have to re-edge

how much did you remove!! if its more than about 20mm your door lock is likely to be near to breaking through to the glass so drill with care
and iff you have taken off to much youll need to source a smaller lock

Yes, they are veneer doors, ill need to look into these trims in B&Q, the only problem is my locks and handles are now on and i dont think my joiner (who is the faither) would be to impressed if i told him i need to change them and cut off another 6mm.

cheers for your replies
