 Here's a little storage area door I just did , totally non code conforming due to fire containment codes , but hey there was on permit pulled on this one  ;)

RO ,



we didn't sheet rock the closet to save $$ , those brick  in the back ground are from a fireplace backed up on that wall.

 

  Doors installed ,



3/4" shop Birch paint grade doors hung off Blum euro / concealed hinges ,
 


When the doors come to a point like these do you have to relieve the back edge like I did here , I knew this was going to happen , DAMHIKT, so I cut and edge banded the top corner in the shop before I took them to the site.





The blue tape are  temporary handles to open the doors .     
When in doubt , build it stout with something you know about .

You had one image not wanting to come up, PEG. I took the liberty of doing a little remodel on the image link.

Nice access for the area. Push / spring / magnetic catch going in there?  It has a name, I don't know it off hand.  ???
Just because something has been done and has not failed, doesn't mean it is good design.

Good job - thanks for the details, PEG.


Temporary handles. hmm 

Does that mean I have to change out my permanent handles?

Thanks Mtn D .

The hinges themselves are spring loaded , no catch's needed . You can get them , the hinges, un sprung as well then use a touch latch / mag type catch , which I thought of but decided handle would be more user friendly as this is a teenage boys basement / bedroom . With it's own door to outside , which can again DAMHIKT , can be a issue in and of it's self [shocked] [frus]

::)   I'd have that barricaded until (a) they're married or (b) they move out.
