Carriage Doors- Construction

[@greatamculture]

Good job. Also, it’s good to see a wife and husband working together. Great example for others.

[@alexadams3283]

Wow! Very impressive! This is basically what I want to do, but way above my ability level right now. I may however buy the doors and do this....

[@Ibiron]

Great common sense approach at an often over thought out project. Spot on ! Thank you.

[@doublek5583]

You have a great set of helpers there, good quality time you have there, I remember my daughter and I working on projects together, now that was 30 years ago although seems like yesterday. Just remember don't take them for granted and keep up the good work,very nice job you have done there

[@barrwoodworksfurniture]

Haha, they get better with time.

[@seamrogllc5327]

That door is SICK. Love it.

[@martinoamello3017]

You omitted the number of times you had to empty the dust collector..LOL I've built a bunch of big 6 foot garden gates and spent hours emptying mine. Nice job. Planning to build carriage doors myself soon. Probably going with cypress since I live in a humid area and I get cypress for dirt cheap. I made gates with overlapped, 3 layers glued and pegged in every joint. Lots of work and glue..

[@CarlosPickens]

That is absolutely beautiful and I need you here next week to do my garage! Seriously!

[@wesrobinson7366]

This is fantastic. I have been wanting to build doors for my garage/shop. Live in a tough cold, humid and sea spray environment. Need to build up some more skill but really think you layed out a great way to build a door that will last for years. Wish you sold this as a kit I could assemble, such great work.

Those doors look awesome. I really like the stain on the inside surface.

Agreed, it definitely makes it easier having an assortment of tools- for production work its a must. For one-off jobs you can definitely do this with a few basic ones, it'll just take longer.

GREAT JOB BRO.

[@rapunzeleh546]

these are beautiful... will be making something like them myself this summer (if we can avoid any more wildfires)... but mine are doors that slide on top and bottom rails and disappear around the inside wall... so 8 individual panels with fancypants hinges between... thinking i may sandwich a piece of cord underlay in between the inside and outside panels for a tiny bit of insulation.

[@carterscustomrods]

It's beautiful! My issue has been finding hinges I feel will last the test of time. I grew up in a home with carriage style garage doors, and it always seemed to need adjustments done due to the hinges sagging.

[@rustknee]

yes I was also worried about this since the doors are pretty heavy (about 90 lbs). But the Hafele hinges are well built and no issues after 3 years. Also built for others and they haven't had any issues.

[@barrwoodworksfurniture]

8/4 for the main frame of the door and resawn 6/4 for the panels.

[@hentay5048]

Very nice workmanship, however I don't think it will keep the cold or hot weather out due to the gaps above the door.

[@barrwoodworksfurniture]

There is weather stripping in between each door and at the top. Plus its a garage so not really an issue in California.

[@Dreamster399]

Fantastic!

[@billynjacki78]

Quick question I’m in the Santa Cruz area was curious where you found the lumber? Great job too looks amazing!!

At Aura Lumber (now called Hardwoods). They have a store in Santa Cruz. Good luck!

[@Trashpanda_404]

Dude! Thanks for sharing. You did an uber professional job! Do you believe with a little weatherstripping this build could be used as a exterior patio door?

[@barrwoodworksfurniture]

Definitely, its not shown here but these do have weather stripping.

[@scottmclean4237]

Absolutely stunning , This is the style I want but concerned about do you need diagonal braces or do the three vertical parts here stop the sagging?

[@barrwoodworksfurniture]

scott mclean for the width on these doors (38”) it’s not an issue. If you go wider depending on construction and wood species, it might be, but using mortise and tenon joinery is pretty full proof.

[@highestupper]

Hi! What a beautiful door! I was wondering where you sourced the hardware for it? Thanks!

[@barrwoodworksfurniture]

thanks, please see response to Boris below.

[@steverosenberger3659]

Out of curiousity - why the dominoes in one portion and the floating tennons in another. What size dominoes are you using and how thick are the stiles/railes. It looks loke a lot of dominoes. Are you using hte 1/3 mortise rule? I am looking to build a carriage door and am looking for ideas.

[@barrwoodworksfurniture]

Started with larger floating tenons but realized it was too time consuming with a router. If you have access to a domino machine that is the way to go! Size was 1/2" x 4". Rails and stiles are 1-3/4" thick, so more dominos required...more surface area to bond with glue. If it was just one or two doors I would use traditional mortise and tenons. Good luck!

[@Dennis-wi6nn]

4:12 If you don't have a laser, you're better off setting up a level string line. Or make yourself a water level. With 2 people knowing how to use it they can be dead accurate.

[@4144sbrs]

Who is the supplier for the hardware for the 3 way fold and track above

[@Lemanadexe]

ooo how fancy!

[@maryjanepazdrak3145]

You inspired me to make similar doors. Can you help me out on where to get best hardware for the folding doors.

[@barrwoodworksfurniture]

The hardware is Hefele, so you’ll need to find a local supplier. In my area its Charles McMurray. If you search up Hefele their webpage has info on local suppliers. I advise you look up part numbers first from the Hefele website and then place your order with supplier. These are generally sold to shops and not retail. Good luck!

[@BrentDaughertyMe]

Wow. I love that it has a separate door for quick entry/exit, but does anyone have a source other than Hefele that is less expensive? L.E Johnson has a 4-panel hardware set for under $100 on Amazon, but I can't find anyone that has the separate door option at a lower price point. Hefele is over $1600.

[@maryjanepazdrak3145]

Did you end up finding the right hardware.

[@jimbob3030]

Wow what would it cost to pay a pro to do that? $15k?

[@LuisSanchez-wf9zw]

Do you sell plans for the dimensions used which include the window place holder plus the stiles and rails?

Sorry no plans for sale.

I saw these doors on Pinterest and then found the KZbin video. Great job. I plan to make similar carriage doors for inside the house on a barn door slide setup. Did you design these yourself or did you work off an existing plan? thanks

[@barrwoodworksfurniture]

I searched for different styles and then came up with my own design. I wanted to make them strong but also allow natural light through.

[@JG-jb1xv]

AWESOME

[@CuteSeamus]

how wide and tall of an opening was your garage door that you replaced this with... just to have an idea of the space we are talking about... double or triple car garage... ???... i've been wanting to do this myself but placing the lock in the very middle of the four doors... what do you think the pros and cons are to the middle vs off to one side...

[@barrwoodworksfurniture]

CuteSeamus this is an older home, so dimensions aren’t exactly standard, but Its considered a one car garage. Dim were 82” x172”. For the lock placement, you'll need to make sure the hinge side of each door has a good flush bolt or cane bolt at the top and bottom. Also the catch side should have a top and bottom bolt. Otherwise the doors will wiggle a bit and could open.

[@craigbondroff6228]

Absolutely beautiful garage/ carriage house doors. Top quality craftsmanship also. Do you make these doors for sale? And if so, what is the price per door for a 42”x 84” door? I would need 4 of them. Thanks- craig

[@Dougie085]

Did you start with 8/4 stock? Or was it bigger?

[@barrwoodworksfurniture]

Doug Dale that’s correct 8/4 and milled to 1-3/4” for stiles and rails.

[@gtpro700]

Is the glass just set against the trim and then the backer trim holding it in place? There is no sealant on the glass and wouldn’t water makes it’s way between the trim and glass? Thanks for the info

[@barrwoodworksfurniture]

[@connorleon]

Are the doors standard thickness of 1 3/4" or thicker?

[@barrwoodworksfurniture]

Connor Leon yes they are

[@clintonflynn815]

Stunning results. I'm wondering - why did you change from the Festool dominoes after the dry fit?

[@barrwoodworksfurniture]

I was actually going to make all mortises for the floating tenons with a router, but that was just too time consuming so I was able to borrow the domino and it went way faster. If it was a just one door I would have stuck with the router, but multiple doors meant I could knock out 32 mortises per door in about 20 minutes.

[@BenjaminJohnson]

Does this door construction resist the warping that occurs on doors that have two different humidity/temperature conditions on either side of the door?

[@barrwoodworksfurniture]

Warping is not really an issue for solid garage doors on the west coast (NorCal). The temperature difference on either side of the door is not really the issue (no core insulation). I think the bigger issue with these types of doors is the expansion/contraction due to humidity changes, and the reason I used floating panels which have enough room to expand. Naturally there may be some "sticking" but so far no issues since these have about a 3/16" gap for weather seal.
