We will be in touch
way OT i realise
i'm in the process of building an understairs cupboard. yesterday i did the doorframe, architrave, stud work and plasterboard. sat back and thought 'job well done'!! very satisfying
now i realise that i've left a 45° angle at the top of the door opening (which required some highly skilled 67.5° architrave). i'm looking at it now thinking .... the door won't open
is this right?! if so i'll have to re-do quite a lot of it 🙄
Just piece in a little 75mm bit at 90deg to the hinged side, your door facing should still cover the pointy bit of your opening, if not reduce it to about 60mm so it does cover your opening, this will allow your door to open, it will give you an extra mitre but easier to do.
I had the same "design feature" if I've understood correctly.
I trimmed some of the back of the door, but not the front, which was enough to stop it fouling. Ten minute job and virtually invisible.
Of course if I've misunderstood the issue then that will be no help at all.
EDIT - Make that totally invisible when it's closed, and OK when it's open - I just checked.
Igm is right, all you need to do is plane a tapered chamfer to the rear top edge of the door, if you're having a pair of doors, this will only need to be done on the one with the long jamb (hinge side)
cheers for the advice
i've opted for waynes slightly more time consuming solution. it'll be a better job in the end!
nothing worse than taking apart what you worked hard on the previous day. argh!
