I will be beginning a double entry door project very soon and while there is a lot of great info on the door construction itself I have not been able to find much about the hardware. I will build it on a stave core and will use mahogany.
I would like to ask the door builders here about specific products (brands, sources) you use. What method do you use to secure the more stationary door? I see some discussion on another forum about double Euro type hardware but not sure I need it as much. We have several sliders and other potential entry points that a would be intruder might find easier to use than an entry door but would, of course, like some adequate way of securing the door.
I also want to get advice on the threshold to use. The doors we have now are not the best quality (metal doors from HD) but the thresholds seem fine. Is there a big difference in these?
Finally, what about hinges. What's your preference? I have some stainless ones on a gate build from Hillman Hardware and they are fine but would like to see what high quality hinges you all prefer.
