Doors

Time to finally fit the doors already had the doors on so knew they would fit however need to fit the door cards first ,stuck the supplied clips to the card first 

Then made a cardboard template  to know were the hole want to be 
note circled hole more on that later 

then transferred this to the door to drill the holes 
holes drilled 

Had some spare sound deadening  left so put in on the back of the door as it might make a differance ?

On to the other door figured i could just turn the template round and it would fit but no the holes are similar but not the same hence the circles on the card so i kew which ones to avoid on the second door 

once done came to fitting the door handle couldnt find anything to fit the thread not metric nor unf ,call to Andy and he tells me it BA !! and advised me to tap it out 5mm .
Put the handle on first to stop the square spreading and tapped out
tapped 5mm 

then realized that the hinge covers will be easier to fit now so fitted them with self tappers ,found that the return edge caught the hinge so had to shorten it slightly 
one on 
then its time for the door finally 
one door 
I had bought the door finishers from GD and set to to fit these (well Steve did) 
They fit at each end of the door trim ( no surprise there then) 
the front one is straight forward .
fitted 
But the hinge pushes the carpet when shut and catches this ,going to have a think about this but one thought is to shaape the bracket like the mark but more on that later .
The second one seems a bit more complicated so enough for today and a beer
