• Door
• 1×2 wood pieces
• Circular saw

How-To:

1. Mark a center measurement for top, middle, & bottom. Then pencil in a line down middle of door to make sure that your cut is straight.

2. Saw down the middle of door along penciled line with the circular saw.

3. Use wood glue down side of door and place doors together to be attached.

4. Screw in L-Brackets down the back side of the door (Use about 3 or more).
