{"title":"Pair Makers","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pair maker is the meeting-stile strip that lets two single door leaves work as a pair. It closes the gap between them, gives the slave leaf something to shut against, and hides the joint, which is what stops a pair of ordinary doors from looking like two doors pushed together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUsing a pair maker\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecide which leaf is active and which is the slave, fit the pair maker to the slave, and hold that leaf steady with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/flushbolts\"\u003eflush bolts\u003c\/a\u003e at the head and foot.

It lets two single door leaves be hung as a pair, by rebating the meeting stiles so one leaf overlaps the other instead of the two edges simply butting together. The kit supplies the rebated timber sections and the fixings, and the result is a pair that closes properly, resists draughts and gives the lock something to engage into.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you would use one\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuying two single leaves and a pair maker is usually cheaper and far more flexible than sourcing a factory-made pair, and it means you can create a pair in a finish and style that is only sold as a single. It is the standard approach for wide openings between a hall and a living room, for room dividers and for a set of doors onto a garden room. The kits here are supplied by LPD to match their own leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat else the opening needs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pair needs a lining or frame wide enough for both leaves plus the rebate, so measure the structural opening before ordering and read \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/advice\/how-to-measure-a-door\"\u003ehow to measure a door\u003c\/a\u003e.
