Re doors

The doors are of the simplest kind. Two vertical boards are
clamped with a hanging and meeting style, a top and bottom
rail. These members are tenoned together and the boards joined
up with rebated glued joints strengthened at intervals by
cross-tongues. They are hung on top & bottom pivots, which are
inserted into corresponding socket holes sunk into the lintel
and sill. The pivots are merely the horns (projecting ends) of
the hanging style rounded off to suitable pivot-shape. The
butt edges of the doors are rounded so as to enable them to
swing freely, and the meeting styles are rebated to prevent
observation through the joint.
