Folding wooden doors.
« on: December 18, 2022, 07:10:42 AM »
They always seem to have some kind of a problem. Flimsy hinges that bend or brake ,so i replaced them with stainless steel hinges. No more problems . ;D

  Were those perhaps piano style hinges?  When I built a couple teardrop trailers, I used piano hinges on doors and
   The back hatch .. Only way to go. 

     Besides the screws, I also moistened the frames, and used Gorilla glue where the wood met the  hinges, making for a very solid hookup..

Yes they are piano hinges. They don't bend ,break.Or get out of alignments. And the doors work smoothly. None of that chatter , bending crap. But they charge $ 135.00 for a set of new doors.

  Yes, the piano hinges work splendidly. A competent door maker should charge a few bucks more, and build them with piano hinges first off.

I've had lots of trouble with the top track, never with the hinges.
