To reskin a door.
1) Make a plywood template approx 0.040" smaller than current door
skin.
2) Grind or file edge of old door skin to remove the folded over edge.
Remove screw/pins holding the top edge to the door frame. The old door
skin should now fall off.
3) The inner door skin will now be visible this can left if in good
condition or replaced using the plywood template as a pattern for
cutting new parts. The inner wing is then screwed/pinned in place.
4) The outer door skin cut approx 0.375" larger than the template. The
excess material is then folded 90 degrees over the template.
5) This dor skin can now be placed onto the inner skin and frame
Screw/pin the top edge to the frame, then fold the remaining 4 edges a
further 90 degrees to grip the inner skin.
