Browse Forums Owner Builder Forum 1 Nov 22, 2022 9:50 am I am currently building a house in Bali. There is a wall from the carport to the garden which is planned for a double wooden door. The width of the doors is 1100mm. To go through one side only would be very narrow so both doors would need to open each time. Even if we could get a lock to manage this (top and bottom bolts automatically) this would soon become a pain. Any ideas on other options ? We want something that looks nice on both sides but a traditional Balinese solid wooded door would be too heavy hinged on one side only (according to our builders). Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Re: Wooden door width 3Jan 01, 2023 12:38 pm Googling traditional Balinese doors - I see many of them have ornate carved panels either side and sometimes above the door. This would be a relatively easy solution by commissioning 2 panels for a standard single Balinese door. Alternatively, with 2 narrow doors perhaps a strong piano hinge joining them would make opening a bi-fold door easier? Thanks again for this information.
