Real carriage house doors were historically built using exterior strap hinges with lag bolts or screws as fasteners to secure the
door to the building. Use of these types of fasteners will greatly reduce the life of your real carriage doors. The use of strap or
external hinges is also a security risk as strap hinges can be unscrewed in a matter of seconds allowing thieves into your home.
Also, these fasteners create a large hole for water to go directly into the wood generating wood rot and failure. Think about it -
you only see this type of fastener on a barn door or garden gate, never an entry door to a house. Hinges are mortised into the
side of doors for a reason - security, strength and protection from the elements. Suggestion - add ornamental hardware for the
look of a strapped hinge.
Real carriage house doors were also historically built without a jamb around the doors because the structure was a barn or a large
shed with a non-square opening in many instances. The carriage doors were also trimmed, IE. cut, to the size of the non-square
opening so you ended up with non-square doors.
Although door stop may have been applied to the inside door edges, the wind and rain could seep or blow in from all around the
door - even if the installer could create a uniform gap all around the door. The quality solution to do the job right is to mill and
install a custom solid wood jamb from a strong wood species like Douglas Fir, vertical grain, or Mahogany.
Many "REAL" Carriage House Doors built by others may
be versions of a SHED DOOR using GATE HINGES------->
