Hey team,
To kick off our laundry renovation we are looking to add some doors. Currently there are two hinges in the interior of the (metal) door jamb as shown below, and we were thinking to put the two doors on the exterior of the door jamb whereby they will swing outward rather than inward into the laundry.
We feel that this will help us capitalise on the small amount of space in the laundry by not blocking it by two doors opening inward.
The door jamb has dimensions 690mm wide and 2040mm in height.
Each of the doors is 320mm wide and 1950mm in height, so we're 50mm short in width and 90mm short in height.
Some questions we have:
1) Is putting hinges in a metal door jamb whereby they'll sit on the outside and not be recessed in the metal a problem?
2) How do we make up the width/height discrepancies? do we need to glue/nail pieces of wood to each door (noting that we intend on painting them anyway)
3) do we have to worry about screwing into the doors if they have glass?
Any suggestions are welcome!
