Help! Refrigerator door swings too far.
Q

Hi... I know this is an old subject, but here is my $3.50 Mama fix. I did not want to use metal against metal (scratch up my new Whirlpool fridge) so I went with nylon. First I bought tarp clamps (Princess Auto $1.99) because the groove was just perfect to fit on the hinge. Then I bought flower wire $1.50 at the dollar tree. I separated 1 clamp and used the disk part and sliced it in half. I drilled two holes, one on each end (see pic) and attached the half disk to the hinge. Now the door does not open too far, is cushioned when it reaches the limiter and can only be seen from the side. If you need it to open further, just cut a slice (like a pie slice) and the door will open further.

Changing door swing direction from out to in

Olychick the pantry doorway is larger than the rest of the wall space available so a pocket or barn door won't work in this case, unfortunately. There are 34" between the linen closet and vanity. The door itself is 26.5", so there should be plenty of room to get in and out of the bathroom. @cat_ky, Susie ., kudzu9 The door is 26.5". I don't believe they sell prehung doors in that size. If I were to find one, I'm not sure that would actually be easier. The frame and trim are all fine, I'm just looking to change the swing direction and replace the door slab itself. Rehanging a slab in the existing frame and patching old hinge and latch holes seems like less work than pulling the entire frame out, putting a new one in, and then adding trim. A lot cheaper too :) As I mentioned in the original post, I've replaced/rehung door slabs so I'm confident in my ability to size and hang a door properly. I'm mostly just looking for advice on patching the old hinge and latch holes and tips on replacing the door stop moulding since the current moulding is beveled on one side so it won't really "stop" the door properly once flipped.

Doors to swing by...Do I renovate to all 96" height interior doors?

I think the minimum clear door opening for wheelchair access is 32", this would be a 34" door because "clear" means between the stops on the jamb and the door itself, which if it openings against a wall, does Not swing completely clear of the opening: the face of the hinged side still projects into the opening. And, 34" doors and frames are not standard. So by default the door and door frame need to be 36", if you are using standard. And you can't have a 36" door frame mounted at the end of a 36" wide hall. At minimum the hall would have to be 40", usually it would be 44" minimum.

It does seem like some sort of virus, and I guess there's not anything to do for it except to remove this hosta. That's a shame because it survived my garden's couple of stressful years. I'd like to plant another hosta in the area, but not exactly where this one is.

No need to worry Hazel. We like seeing your work and it might even get us to try them over again. So you post anything you want to post.

That's right what Judy said.
You do what you want. Makes NO difference.
There is NO rule about doing repeats or not.
I LIKE repeats to see your version AND it is so easy to post one already done? :)

Man I don't remember where it came from or anything but you could do your name anyway you would like and then do it so the animated swing part is hooked to it instead of what it is hooked to in the tut.

Thought I might have the tut laying about somewhere, no luck, did the animation some time ago, just revamped her and gave her a background.
