Hi Friends,
I had to make an urgent repair to my Rod and Reel entry door. Currently it's off the hinge and on a patio table waiting for disassembly. I can see through the Bargman door lock opening that the inner wood supports are 1" thick. Add the paneling and the total door thickness is 1 1/8". If my research is correct (correct me if I am wrong), then actual 1" thick lumber is not made any more. You either have to plane it down (I don't own a planer or have the space for it) or I buy actual 3/4 thick lumber (if available) and then make it thicker by adding 1/8" paneling strips on top of it as a spacer. I imagine these would have to be glued.
Any suggestions/opinions for lumber or method?
Thanks
Rod
