How do you make a plywood door?

Answer 1

1Measure the height and width of the opening in which you are going to

install the plywood door, using a tape measure.

2

Measure and mark cut lines on the plywood with your tape measure and a pencil.

3

Place the plywood on a table or workbench. Put on eye protection and cut

along the lines drawn on the plywood with a circular saw.

4

Attach 120-grit sandpaper to a sander and sand the piece of plywood to

smooth it and take off any splinters.

5

Apply a coat of wood sealer to the plywood using a paintbrush and allow

to dry as long as directed by the manufacturer.

6

Fasten hinges to the plywood door, placing one several inches from

the top and from the bottom, using stainless steel screws and a screw gun,

then screw a door handle to the front of the plywood. You can now hang your

plywood hinged door.

Answer 3

Get two pieces of 1\8 inch steel about 12 to 14 inch's long and have them bent in a 90 degree angle in two places where u have three equal sections.(should look like a c) Make sure the middle section is 4 inch's wide.Drill four small wholes in one end of both pieces making sure there small enough that the head of a screw wont go through.Using no smaller than 3 inch screws,screw one of the pieces of metal on the wall beside the door about 6 inch's above the door knob making sure the open end of the c is up.Do the same thing with the other piece of metal on the other side of the door making sure its the same height as the first piece you put on.Get a 2x4 or a piece of steel thick enough that it wont bend easy making sure which ever you choose is a foot longer then your door is wide.(a standard door is 32 inch's wide)Lay the 2x4 or piece of steel across the door in the metal brackets you installed,my advice is use a 2x4 because it will be much lighter and easier to handle.When you place the 2x4 in the brackets lay it flat where the 4 inch side is facing up because it is much stronger that way.Once the 2x4 or metal is across the door in the brackets you put on no one will be able to open the door from the outside until you remove the 2x4 from the brackets.If you choose it's no problem to install a hinge on one side of the 2x4 so the door can be opened without having to bend over to lay the wood on the floor.If you choose to install a hinge there will have to be a stop installed to keep the 2x4 from falling on you or a loved one while in the unlocked position.This is just one of the many simple and inexpensive ways to secure your home quickly,easy and safely without making it dangerous to get out in case of an emergency.Thank you and i hope someone can use this plan and keep there family safe and secure.
