On the back side of the door half, sandwich a second 2- x 4-inch frame.
We installed a center piece for additional support.

Use an X-shaped decorative trick to install the heavy-duty hinges. Make arrow-shaped cuts in the ends of 1- x 4-inch boards so they fit tightly into the door corners. Where the second board crosses the first, use a speed square to make tight-fitting cuts.

The X-detail creates extra space to attach the hinges. A simple lock connects the door halves. |
