Topic tags/keywords: doors warped how to fix

A neighbor wanted to throw out this storage cabinet. I asked him to throw it my way.

I sanded and tsp’d and base coated and painted, installed new hardware and I love how it looks except one of the doors is warped. I hadn’t noticed it. Now, we have it clamped in the hope it will straighten out by itself. What are the chances? Any ideas?

I dont know if you fixed the warped door yet, but I would replace the battons on the back side, either with angle iron, new wood blocking selected for grain stability, or plywood ripped into strips and re-glued/screwed back into a channel or angle shape.

-- I found the board stretcher... finally!

What we did was get a latch that matched the other hardware. It works so well and looks quite attractive. Thank you for your response which I will use next time.

I must say that very impressive job you did here to make this waste storage cabinet so worth. Now, it could be very useful to store things on this cabinet.

You want to know something else? The warp seems to be lessening. Pretty soon we won’t need the latch. Gee, I love taking something seemingly worthless and making it into something worthwhile.

That is a good way to use the old items and you can recycle the old things by just some wrap the cabinets.

It is good to have neighbours who remember you before disposing things of. The storage cabinet is a great save and the refurbishment job you did is incredible. It looks as good as new!
