Hey Guys,
New member here!
I have an issue I am trying to solve on an upcoming project, and I am hoping for some advice / guidance...
I will be making two pairs of framed ledged and braced garage doors, and wish to set the matchwood / T+G back 3-5mm from the top rail / stiles. (Purely for aesthetic reasons, as its no more work than fitting it flush with the frame)
I also wish to fit some nice long penny end T hinges, but what can I do to make sure the bottom hinges fit properly due to the 3-5mm inset matchwood?.... I could cut out a packer to add behind the hinge, which I'm pretty sure would look rough, (see attached image) or I could attempt to bend a step into the hinge, but I'm pretty sure I would end up either snapping it, or at very least ruining the finish if heating before bending....
Is there an industry standard for this problem?
Should I just fit the matchwood flush with the top rail / stiles?
