Tips for a Long-Lasting Double Door
Use a strong frame: a wide double door is heavy, so choose a 5″ × 2.5″ frame in teak or WPC. Use four hinges per leaf on main doors, plus a tower bolt top and bottom on the fixed leaf. Add a door closer or stopper so leaves do not slam. Seal all edges of flush doors and polish veneer on both faces. Plan hardware early: a digital lock or long pull handle needs the right core at the lock position. Weather: for sun- or rain-facing entrances, BWP or WPC doors and a projecting canopy protect the finish.
Common Mistakes
Equal leaves that are too narrow for daily use; a thin frame for a heavy door; veneer polished on the outside only; MR doors on an exposed entrance; and no plan for the lock and handle. For carved classic doors, see teak wood door designs; for modern flat doors, flush door designs.
