All went well until the client decided he was going to get involved in the finishing and hanging.
Ok you lasure them I said....mistake.
The closing strip and the rear of the doors give an idea of the contrast, the colour is just awful.
The hinges should have been painted before the doors were hung....the bolt heads should have been on the outside, etc. Lesson learned on this one, either I control the whole process or it's no deal next time.
"....the bolt heads should have been on the outside"
But that would make it difficult to break in..........................................
Yeah Moggy, I'm gutted, you hit the nail on the head. Still, it's them who has to look at the doors.
There just isn't any crime here Gary, so I guess the bolts being the wrong way round isn't too serious, although it does ruin the look of the doors....imagine those doors in Scouseland!
No, just a typical know it all French client. He hasn't paid yet, I'm tempted to go and 'reclaim' them.
edit, that's the sort of metalwork I'd like from you Moggy.
Nice looking doors Chris, but I didn't know that you were into pine... You may even fing that he had decided that there would be enough nuts on the inside, so put the mechanical ones outside ?
You may well find that it's necessary to have the stop strip totally different so that he could find where to get in?
What also cries out to me is that the hinges are not bolted through the frame of the doors but instead through the vertical boards.
I am assuming that he bought the hinges and that you didn't supply these Chris?
Why not pin on a business card saying "I only made them!"
