    Smart idea bro! What a creative approach to give the look of a $3K+ upgrade with little investment of both time and money. Smarter not harder!

    I will totally be doing this but I think i'm going to add a little extra something, but holy crap does this make me so inspired, faux glass panels and a metal piece , black of course, on the hinge side , but seriously this is seriously Brilliant !!!!

    I love the natural look. You can add poly acrylic clear to a nice seal

    My husband and I watched your video to do our front door. We used a laminate flooring (leftover from another project) and used acrylic black paint and three coats of polyurethane. It came out beautifully and I really loved this video.

    Easy and entertaining video to watch. Thank you! Love the idea and the handle bar was a great choice. How does the door open/close without a door knob? Is that part 2?

    • @diyelie
      @diyelie  7 місяців тому +2

      Thank you for watching. Once you use the key or enter your code, the door unlocks and you pull it open with the handle bar.

    I was just shopping for a custom sized door and this could save me 5, 6, maybe $700.

    Laminate wouldn't withstand the mother nature, use LVP instead or plywood sealed with 3 coats of poly.

      I did this with my boring hallway upstairs that had builder grade doors. I used thin vinyl flooring planks so as to not make the doors too heavy. It looks amazing! Thx I was looking for videos to help me get the courage. I painted the frame black and my walls are white.

    Your panels went all the way to the edge of the door. How does the door close? did you move the door edging?

  • @glbrickman
    @glbrickman 6 місяців тому +1

    I’m worried about it holding up to the weather. And adjusting the thickness of the door probably had some issues closing. Looks good, but not a fan of this one.
