Hi everyone as the title suggests really, how do you secure the brace on a ledge and brace door. I’ll be making it a tight fit so it will need lightly tapping into place with a mallet. The front of the door will be simply boarded with lengths of redwood timber which will be nail gunned to the door rails but also into the brace. Will this be enough to keep it put?

Cheers
Pete
 
I made a redwood ledged and braced door last year. I screwed the lengths to the rails and also the brace, from the inside so you can't see them from the outside. I put 1 screw in the centre of each rail and brace into the board, so each board can expand or contract as needed.

Seems to be a good solid door so far.
