I'm reaching out to get your input on what type and size of hinges (and latch) to use for a project. I'm building two dog kennels (about 22x30x24) and am using cherry for the construction. It basically consists of four rail and stile frames with 1/2" dowels for the bars. The door will be ~2" rail and stile, measuring about 16" x 20", so not really that heavy. I have never used nor installed any hinge before as I am still in the novice category. What kind of hinges would you all put on the door (so it can fully swing open back on itself) and what latch? Also, what would be a good source for this quality hardware?
Thanks!
PS Thinking ahead, I did design it so that I can replace individual bars should the dogs decide to chew thru the bars in an escape attempt.
