How to build a box with hinged door.

A hinged door typically consists of either a solid wooden panel door or hollow cored door affixed to a door jamb with two or more hinges. Keep the hinge knuckle facing out from the back of your box and drill or hammer to attach it to the side and then the lid. You will need several tools and a sheet of pressure treated plywood which you can buy at any home improvement store or lumber yard. Mount your door by slotting its hinges into those on the door frame.

Measure mark and cut separately for each part. Attach a hinged lid to the box. Set the lid on the box so the lid and side are flush then measure and mark where you d like your hinges to be. All that s left to do now is hang your completed door.

Once this cut is established start sawing with evenly paced long strokes that use the full length of the blade. A sheet of 3 4 inch exterior grade plywood cut to size and fitted with t strap hinges bolted to the door is about all. Plywood makes a durable door for a shed storage building or utility locker. To make a door start by getting a 4 foot by 8 foot sheet of.

Lift the door high enough to interlock both sets of hinges then slide the hinge pins into the opening at the top each hinge and tap them down firmly. This extension depends on what is to be displayed within the shadow box. If you are building a tree house or want to enclose an attic or shed you can make a plywood hinged door. Additional hinges are generally required to support taller doors and stronger sturdier hinges are required for weightier doors.

This project is simple requiring no extensive carpentry or woodworking skills. The hinge will connect a glass panel cover to the shadow box protecting the objects inside from dust and keeping them more secure.
