A panel as a door leaf

This variant is very uncomplicated to manufacture because there is no need for a complex construction. However, you have to make sure that the wooden board used is not too heavy. The execution is very simple:

  • Cut the plate to size.
  • Sand and smooth edges.
  • Pre-drill holes for the fittings and the door handle.
  • Attach this and install the new door.

The door with frame construction

This slightly more elaborate model looks very attractive, but is still relatively easy to build. The construction consists of three layers: an inner and an outer frame, between which the door panel lies. You can design these from wooden boards or strips according to your taste. Additional central struts are integrated for greater stability.

Build a door out of boards and U-profiles

In this construction, the frame is replaced by practical U-profiles in which narrow wooden boards are inserted. Boards with tongue and groove that are firmly glued together are well suited for this design. Instead of the frame, you then place the profiles around the resulting wooden surface and attach the fittings and the door handle.
