Fourthly, lake the door, when shut, to project at the bottom towards the inside of the room, about one-eighth of an inch, which may be effected by giving the rebate the quantity of inclination requisite.
fote,—Altlough any of the above methods, properly applied, wilt make a door swing sufficiently clear of the floor, yet as each one separately will require to be done in so great a degree as to offend the eye, I do not recommend it in nice work, but would rather advise a combination of them all to be used, thus: Ilaise the floor about one-eighth of an inch under the door ; make the jamb on which the door hangs incline to the oppo site jamb about one-quarter of an inch; make each rebate that stops the door project at the bottom one-eighth part of an inch to that side of the room mi which the do,n. opens. Now these several methods practised in the above small degrees, which will not be perceptible, will throw the door sufficiently out of the level when opened to a square ; that is, it will lie at least half' an inch when the height of the door is double its width.
Fifthly, Rising hinges, which arc made with a spiral groove winding round the knuckle, answer a similar cud ; this con strueti,in of hinge requires that the door should be beveled at the to next to the ledge or door-catch, as much as the hinge rises in one quarter of its revolution.
Sixthly, This may also be effected by adopting a door in the form of the antique doors ; that is. the bottom to be wider • than the top, the jambs having the same inclination.
Mouldings of Doors.—The different denominations of framed doors, according to their mouldings and panels, and framed work in general. The figures in the Plates, to which these descriptions refer, are sections of doors, through one of the stiles, taking in a small part of the panel ; or they may be considered as a vertical section through the top rail, show ing part of the panel.
Figure 34, the framing is without mouldings, and the panel a straight surface on both sides : this is denominated doors square and flat panel on both sides.
Fvure 35, the framing has a quirked ovolo, and a fillet on one side, but without mouldings on the other, and the panel flat on both sides: this is denominated doors quirked ovolo, fillet and flat panel, with square back.
Figure 36, differs only from the last in having a bead instead of a fillet, and is therefore denominated quirked ovolo, bead and flat panel, wide square Lack.
Figure 37, has an additional fillet on the framing to what there is in Figure 36. and is therefore denominated quirked ovolo, bead, fillet, and flat panel, with square back.
.2Vole.—When the back is said to be square, as in Figure 35, 36, 37, the meaning is, that there are no mouldings on the framing, and the panel is a straight surface on one side of the door.
Figure 38, the framing struck with quirk ogee and quirked bead on one side, and square on the other ; the surface of the panel straight on both sides; this is called quirked ogee, quirk bead and flat panel, with square back.
Figure 39, differs from the last, only in having the bead raised above the lower part of the ogee, and a fillet. This is therefore denominated quirked ogee, raised bead, and flat panel, with square back.
Figure .10, is denominated cove, raised bead, and flat panel, with square back.
Figure 41, is denominated quirked ovolo. bead, fillet, and raised panel on front, with square hack. The rising of the panel gives strength to the door, and on this account they are often employed in street doors, though the fashion at present is discontinued in the inside of buildings.
Figure -1•2, the framing is the same as the last, but the panel is raised in front, and has an ovolo on the rising. This is therefore denominated quirked ovolo, bead, and raised 'panel, with ovolo on the rising on front of door, with square back.
Figure 43, is denominated quirked ogee, raised panel, ovolo and fillet on the rising, and astragal raised on the flat of panel and square back.
Note.—The raised side of the panel is always turned towards the street.
Figure 44, is denominated quirked ovolo, bead, fillet, and panel, on Loth sides. Doors of this description are used between rooms, or between passages and rooms, where the door is equally exposed on both sides. When the panels are flat on both sides, or simply chamfered on one side and flat on the other, and the framing of the door moulded on the side which has the flat panels: such doors are employed in rooms where one side only is exposed, and the other never but when opened, being turned towards a cupboard or dark closet.
