We have just paid $850 for a standard single entrance door (820x2040), installed pre painted rather than stained. So to get all the sidelights in stain grade timber etc sounds ok. Re: Cost front door replacement? 16Dec 16, 2014 10:33 pm sco77k Door installed I'll have put up some photos. It's a 1200 wide door on 5 hinges. We stayed away from a pivot for safety reasons Photos please? How's the door going so far any movement with frame or issues for that matter? TIA Re: Cost front door replacement? 17Dec 17, 2014 6:42 am My 2340x1200 door has been hung for 2 years on 5 hinges with no problems. Swings more freely than my hollow doors as I used 5 heavy duty solid ball bearing hinges. Normal pin hinges won't stand a chance. As it was a big door I asked my carpenter to reinforce the timber frame and obviously long screws were used. FYI, I purchased 2 large door, a Hume and Corinthian. Hume was 50kg, and Corinthian was 70kg. Re: Cost front door replacement? 18Dec 17, 2014 8:49 am JB1 My 2340x1200 door has been hung for 2 years on 5 hinges with no problems.

Did they have any concerns with just using the heavy duty hinges you did and maintaining the warranty? Did they try to insist on using a pivot system? What was the reasoning behind you using hinges as opposed to a pivot system? TIA Re: Cost front door replacement? 19Dec 17, 2014 3:12 pm Owner builder here. I would love a pivot but I couldn't justify paying over $1k for a doorframe! lol My doorframe cost me $100 odd dollars in timber which my carpenter then cut and built rather than a prefab door frame. The ball bearing hinges I have are a work of art, makes the door swing so smoothly the door seems 10kg rather than 70kg. I used KH100 75fpsss Re: Cost front door replacement? 20Mar 15, 2015 9:35 pm JB1 Owner builder here.

I used KH100 75fpsss Hi JB1, would you be able to post a picture of your pivotless door? I'm planing a custom build, my builder is also a carpenter by trade and I want a 2340mx1200 door that is swing too. We want to paint it plain and then get a feature laser cut screen as the house feature. If I told him you use KH 100 75 PSSS Will he know what I'm talking about? TIA! Just be careful with building stability during construction, that is when the structure may be weakened, refer to your engineering drawings for stability methodology. 1 7215 Can anyone recommend a good/affordable retaining wall and fence builder that I can get a quote from located in Sydney? 8 45705 Last year I had a gas leak at my house. 3 days later, I have about 1 sqm of my exposed aggregate paving broken up. I am not sure how to go about getting it repaired… 0 10404 |
