Thread: Question re an auction item

Hi Chris,
The frames would be about 75mm in total but there is no set standard size for them I usually make mine about 70-75mm but then you have the molding to the inside edge and the groove for the panel which is about 10mm bringing the framing back to 60-65mm also don't forget about the hinge holes on the hung side of the door which will reduce the length of that side.
Regards Rod.

Thanks for the quick reply Rod. Hadn't considered the hinge holes but if get some shorter lengths to avoid the holes then I can do some clocks with that. Fortunately most of the doors appear to have no grooving.

Cheers

Hi Chris,

Did you buy these? I occasionally manage to buy doors like this (used) from our local tip shops for $5 to $10 each. Stuff like this is always tempting if you can re-purpose it and get it at the right price.

Hi aldav.

It was looking okay till near the end and then it went from 125 - 400 in the last half hour so I passed on it. I didn't see that value in it for me.

I keep scouting like you obviously do.

Cheers
Chris

Yeah, I had a look at the ended auction. That finishing price was a bit rich for me. Either a couple of bidders got really carried away or somebody knew exactly what was there and had a place for it to go!

Cheers,
David

Hi Chris

As Aldev say used cabinet doors are frequently available from tip shops.

Both new and used cabinet doors are also frequently available from building materials salvage depots; say $10 to $30 for new, depending on size, wood type, quality and the whim of the salvor operator.

Thanks Graeme for your input. If $20 is say a fair price for a good door then $440 for 30 plus doors as I estimate it was an okay deal.

Probably, depending on your proposed usage.
