Barn Doors

Connecting the Frame Connecting the Frame

With the rails and stiles of the door frame clamped in place, it's time to connect the frame members. This is best accomplished by diagonally "toenailing" a few long screws through the frame members as shown in the image on this page. Some 3-inch screws that are pre-drilled and countersunk work best to hold the members tight and keep the frame members from splitting, but one could possibly get away with angling some long framing nailers with a framing nailer.

Once all four corners have been toenailed, remove the clamps and double-check the unit for square.
