Hi everyone,
I'm a bit stuck with a project at the moment,
I've built a pair of built in wardrobes for a customer with 19mm Hoop pine plywood doors.
Since the wardrobe is going from floor to ceiling the doors are in 2 parts. The bottom part is about 1900m high and the top 700mm.
The top doors open and close perfectly but the bottom ones are not good. I discovered that the panels for the bottom doors (1900 high x 400 wide) are slightly twisted so when I close the doors the left one touches at the top but not at the bottom and the right one touches at the bottom but not at the top.
I'm using some push to open hinges so I tried to compensate by adjusting the hinges but it doesn't work.
I clamped the doors for 2 weeks on a flat surface to try to flatten them but no success.
So I need to find a way to straighten these doors so they can close properly.
One idea was to make some sort of steel frame on the back side to try to bring it back straight but I have no idea how big and what section to use.
Other idea was to do a couple of cuts lengthwise, a few mm deep to try to release that tension in the ply that make it twist but I've never done that before so I'm not sure it would work.
If you have any idea or if you encountered that problem before please let me know.
