6 panels door

When you replace a door with a door with 6 panels, do you have the smaller panels on top or the bottom?

Thanks

85 year old swinging door needs missing spring

D

dvarga on Dec 05, 2004

Any idea how to locate a spring for this swinging door, or install a replacement spring action? I have a 85 year old house with a disabled swinging door, that goes between the kitchen and dining room. The door is meant to be pushed from the kitchen or dining room, and there is a spring like action that then pushes the door back to center, (closed). However if the door is fully pushed open, from either side, to 90 degrees from center, it is supposed to suspend there, until pushed back to center. It rotates not on a hinge from the side as what a normal door would have, but from vertical metal rods at one side of the top and bottom surfaces of the door. It is a cam and spring mechanism, attached to the bottom rod, which is inside the door. It is directly above the bottom rod and it provides the spring action when the cam rotates and presses against the spring. The spring flexes when the cam rotates and presses against it. I am missing this metal spring. It looks about 2.5 inches by about 8 inches. It is not a spring in the traditional sense, it must be a piece of substantial flat metal that flexes when the cam rotates against it. I've been to home depot to find a modern two directional spring, but did not find any. Even if I find it, It probably will not allow the swinging door to stay open if swung fully open... Any ideas?Read More
