Closing doors - roller/ball latches or something else?
Posted: Mon Nov 28, 2005 7:47 am
Guys,
I have ordered two solidcore MDF doors without predrilling.
To save some coin I am making my own seals right around the door with neopreane strips glued to a small cleats as discribed in one of Knightflys stickies.
I am not sure how to get the door to seal up nice and tight against these seals seeing I don't want to drill holes though the door for a normal household door handle.
Are roller/ball latches the best thing?. I was thinking I could put two (top and bottom) one each door and then just screw pull handle on each side. This way I should be able to get a nice seal by pulling/pushing the door into place.
Am I on the right track?
