ashthekid Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I know this would most likely be bespoke but has anyone created a single door that is 2.5m wide before? Can it be done with normal door hinges? Adding a little support wheel as well? I’m trying to be clever by creating a door that is like a false hidden wall as well. Something a little similar to the door on the left in the photo below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonner Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 It looks like your example is pivoted rather hinged. Something like this might do the job, depending on the weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 The pivots shown above would be ok if the door is fairly light. I would forget the support wheel and get a local engineering place to make up a couple of pivots with bearings in them. Or you could use self aligning flange mounted bearings and stub shafts top and bottom. Several possibilities dependant upon door weight and what you have to play with structure and space wise top and bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) You need to work out the door weight and check the spec of any pivot system. Only problem with any pivot system is working how to remove the door if required. Edited April 27, 2021 by joe90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
