Hi
Badly need two pairs of double doors in our nearly completed house ... but shocked at how much some joinery companies are asking to make & install them. One quote was £5,000 inc VAT ... Nothing particularly special about what I need - just painted 4 panelled affairs (one pair with double glazed glass panels up top) - but since both pairs are off our hall they do need to feel SOLID and reassuringly chunky.
So ... I've got a fair amount of woodwork skill ... plus I've fitted handles and latches and locks and things in the past ... so I'm trying to figure out just how hard it is to make these things yourself? I have a chop saw and a table saw / circular saw ... plus a a few weekends free!
Any advice/tips/tricks very gratefully received - especially from anyone who has gone down the route themselves ... thanks!
