Doors 



Fig. 93 shows a braced and ledged door of an ordinary size, viz. 2' 8' 

 by 6' 8", made of 6" by 1" tongued and grooved boards (flooring 

 boards). For a door of this size 18-inch T hinges are sufficiently strong. 



A door made similarly, but with the omission of the diagonal braces, 

 is termed a ledged door.

The braces are very effective in preventing the door from sagging at 

 the side away from the hinges. 



Fig. 94 shows a braced and ledged door with the braces notched into 

 the lodges, the edges of both being bevelled off, or " chamfered," for the 

 Bake of appearance.
