Default False Doors?

Hi all,

I don't know whether this question has been asked before, but can you use ordinary doors as false ones buy just sticking them on?

Thanks for the help,

I used an ordinary door Joe in the kitchen, pic in my album, I just took it out of the frame, built up the back of the door with some cardboard then put the architrave around it

Default False door

Ive used a normal door and surround as a flase door
All you do is paint/varnish then in the same way stick a handle on one side then stick both onto the wall where you want it and hay bingo
Looks good

Hi Joe..I've also installed false doors (on back walls of Mandeli's)
by using ordinary doors removed from frame, painted and then stuck to wall using double sided tape (or glue if wanting it more pernament) and then fitted archratrive, though I found the spare archratrive a bit thin (the door was thicker) so I glued thin lolly sticks on the back before painting and gluing to the wall... also easier to attach door knob first before sticking to the wall.
