Part 3/11:
Careful planning involved identifying the best position to split the door. The homeowner decided on a straight line just below the decorative squares on the door, avoiding complex features like the window or uneven edges, and ensuring the cut would be in a flat, structurally sound section. To support this, two additional hinges would be installed on the top half to replace or supplement the existing hinges, which had three on the door.
The placement of hinges and the selection of mounting points were crucial. A measuring tape and a T-square guided the homeowner in drawing a precise cut line, ensuring the split would be clean and functional. The existing hinges on the top half already provided sufficient support, simplifying the process.
