[b]You want to end up with a 1/8� gap all around the door, after the t molding has been installed. So your finished door size needs to be 3/8� less than the opening size, both vertically and horizontally. The easiest way to get your door to size is to rip off the appropriate amount off of the straight edges using your table saw. Hang the door with your stainless steel hinge and test for fit. The hinge should extend beyond the top and bottom of the door by ��. [/b]
the part that just isint quite clicking with me is,
is there supposed to be 3/8" in between the top of the door and the frame, and 3/8" in between the bottom of the door in the frame. for a total of 6/8"
or is it supposed to be 3/16" in between the top of the door and the frame, and 3/16" in between the bottom of the door and the frame.
thanks so much in advance for the answers!!
Wow, this is an old thread...
But your second guess was right. You want 3/16" gap on the top and 3/16" gap on the bottom. The T-molding is roughly 1/16", so you'll end up with an 1/8" gap on the top and an 1/8" gap on the bottom.
Hope that helps.
