ABSTRACT:
A replacement door which accommodates a wide variety of existing hinge spacings on a door jamb. The door includes a frame with at least one continuous hinge channel member. The channel member includes a plurality of offset sections spaced along its length. The offset sections are substantially longer than the length of commonly used hinges to thereby span the range of normally encountered hinge locations. Front and rear skins are connected to the frame with the edges of the skins being supported by the major surface of the hinge channel. Segments of the skins in an alignment with existing hinge locations may be removed to expose selected portions of the offset sections for flush mounting of the hinges. The elongated offset sections permit the use of the door structure as a common replacement for doors having a wide variety of hinge spacings.
