How to Make a Door for Children Protection?

If we have a ladder in our house and children or babies we have a problem. Babies are not aware of the risk and may easily want to go down the ladder and fall. For this reason, you can put a plastic door that is sometimes not strong enough and is also expensive or you can choose the solution that we propose, take advantage of a large, wooden door to make a small door for children to avoid accidents.

How to make a door for children protection?

You will need:

1. Old wooden door
2. Two hinges
3. Knob to close the door
4. Cutting disc
5. Varnish
6. Painting
7. Hammer

Follow the steps:

• The first thing we have to do is find a second-hand door that we have at home or that we buy in carpentry. As it is logical it does not need to be a high-quality door.
• The next step is to measure the width of the ladder to know how much the door should measure.
• We will proceed to the most important part of the process to make a stair door which is to cut the door to match the stairwell. It will depend on each case but you may have to cut the door both width and height.
• Afterwards, we will sand the door a little to eliminate edges that may have been left after cutting the door. Finally, we will paint it in the color that we like.
• We will make the corresponding holes to add the hinges to the small door so that we can close it quietly and our son does not open it.
• On the wall we will add a strip so that the door adapts to the width of the stairwell and we will put the bolt so that we can perfectly close the door.
• We will also put the hinges on the wall to finish mounting the door and thus make our house a little more secure.
