glass door stopper

last month

Hi, I see lots of similar wine storage rooms with glass doors and no stopper. How those were done? Is it the hinge? And how show I fix mine? The stopper you see in the picture is not installed. I thought maybe that can help. Other idea I have is putting some sort of stopper on the top portion of the door on the ceiling.

The double-acting hinge naturally stops at the middle of the opposing side, if the glass is installed correctly, door and opposing side in the same plane. Otherwise, the hinge is defective.

Your wine room is by a window. Wine is best protected by darkness…..

You don't really need a pattern for this unless you want a fancy one that looks like a snake or wiener dog. I'm sure there are patterns on line or in pattern books for those. To make just a roll---=Measure your door and add 5 or 6 inches to the total. Cut a piece of sturdy fabric 8 inches x your measured length+ the extra. Sew the long end and reinforce it. You now have a 4 " tube. Sew one end closed again reinforcing it. Turn to the right side and push out the corners. Fill with non-clumping kitty litter to 1 inch of the top. Don't tamp it down. You don't want a solid lump so it won't conform to the door. Turn under 1/2 inch on remaining end and top stitch closed

Glass stopper stuck in perfume bottle. Any ideas?

I had an antique crystal decanter with a small quantity of homemade limoncello (50% alcohol/50% simple syrup) topped with its crystal stopper. I had it sitting in the refrigerator for two months. When I tried to open it, it was super stuck and I didn't think I would be able to get the stopper out. Tried soaking the entire bottle/stopper in a sink of hot water for 20 minutes, then took it out and the stopper started to bubble. Added a Tablespoon of olive oil and within 2 minutes, it came off. Thank you for the tips.

If you already have a double pane door, the problem may not be the door. Before going into expense of adding another layer of drywall to the walls and ceiling and replacing the door, I would check other things. Like bathroom exhaust fan ducting...is it insulated? HVAC ducts. Plumbing vents. Gaskets on all the exterior wall switches & receptacles as well as ceiling lights. Recessed light cans? Pull a piece of door/ window trim and check that the space between the jamb and framing is insulated.

Need blocks at the floor and ceiling. Nonsense above about the hinge.

Alternately, a plastic strip can be run floor to ceiling as in a shower door stall.

The hinge is designed to center stop. Stops are not needed.

Is that your wine cellar? I agree the window should not be there ,Is this temp controlled ? I need more info but the door should have a double acting hinge.

The storage is not temp control. But thanks for your comments regarding the window. Point taken. Regarding the hinge, the door stops at the location you see in the picture. Do you think it is something we can adjust so it can stop few inch sooner?
