The new upstairs bathroom will have louvered doors on the upper cabinet and paneled doors on the lowered part. We could not find any louvered doors in the correct size so we decided to buy some premade ones and modify them to fit the opening. The first step was to take the other doors apart to salvage the pieces. Here you can see the vertical members that hold all of the individual louvers.
When they were resized the louver holes needed to be filled where the stiles will be attached. Here you can see the end holes filled.
Once the holes were filled and the louvers cut to the new length they were installed on one side.
Once one side was is in, the other side was put in which had to start from one of the ends.
The last step was to pocket screw the stiles to the rails.
Here the two doors are finished. The next step is get them painted and installed.
Looks like you'll have a nice big bathroom cabinet if those doors are only for the top portion!:)
ReplyDeletehow about showing the method for routing the louver holes ... without buying an expensive jig. Need ideas for homemade louver jigs.
