Attaching Doors to Harrison

[Karen99]

Hi all,

What is your method for attaching doors to the Harrison? @havanaholly I think that you mentioned that you used chamois. Can you explain?

As you can see, we are "under construction."

Thanks all!

Happy Fall!

I found a partial description  in one of my Team Glencroft blog entries.  I cut the strips of chamois 1/4" wide and 1/2" long.  In the case of doors I use three strips; one near the top, one near the bottom and one evenly spaced between the two.  I glue half the width of each strip to the inside of the door half on the edge I want the door to open from and then glue the other half of the door and clamp the halves together until they dry.  Then I glue the other half to the edge of the doorway opening and glue the frame over that andlay it flat and weigh it with a heavy book until the glue dries.  That's the way I used to hinge doors and casement windows.

Don't forget to make an album in the gallery and let us know when it's up so we can see how things turned out.

Hello Karen, Love your porch and how you have it decorated for Fall!  I replaced my Harrison Dollhouse front door with a Houseworks Crossbuck door that already has a frame attached.  My door fits snugly in place within the dollhouse door opening. No glue was needed.  I will attach my Pinterest link with the picture of my door.  I am not able to add pictures to the gallery. Looking forward to seeing more pictures of your dollhouse.
