Hello, These forums are HUGE, so I'm not sure if I posted in the correct subsection. Please move it in case there's a better fit. I am planning on making two closet doors, which are a little wider than normal. The whole space is 1500mm (60") wide, so one door would be 750mm. The height of a door would be 1800mm (70"). These doors are not something fancy, just a less visible closet door made out of particle board (not sure if that is the proper English term, LDF, chipboard). I want to create a frame for them out of something solid, which will be firmly screwed into the walls around it, and then a couple of hinges in this frame to hold these LDF panels as doors. I asked someone more knowledgeable and he said that it won't hold, because they would be too wide, and the door would just rip off the hinges or bend under its weight. I am not sure about this however, I'm pretty sure I saw doors like this working just fine. What do you think? Would it hold? Are there any special tricks to achieve something decent? Thanks in advance!

So I bought doors for 2x4 walls but my builder did 2x6 walls. So i need to make up the difference. I thought jamb extensions would be straightforward, but the hinges actually extend into the area where the jamb would be. I could just mortice a spot for the swell of the hinge pin but that would limit the full opening of the door. I was thinking about stepping it out to the level of the interior wall with some sort of molding like a bed or shallow crown. Anyone have ideas or experience?
