| I was curious if anyone has experience pinning a tenon with small screws that hold together a wood framed glass door. I noticed that Thos. Moser uses that method, and it seems a bit more elegant than a gasket or nailing in molding. <!—-><!—-> <!—-> <!—-><!—-> My concern would be that it’s not quite as structural sound, and gaps could develop from seasonal changes.

Hi Neil I don't know if this is what you mean, is it when you run a think mortise alone the rail and stile and put a mortise to match ih the moulding? I have read a article about this and I have tried it and it works great.But the only problem with this is that if the glass breaks and you have to replace the glass it sucks. Useing small brads or a pin nailer would work better. Mark
Not quite.<!----><!----><!---->

The joinery that holds the door together is mortise and tenon instead of cope and stick.<!----><!---->

The two M&T joints on the hinge side of the door are glued. The two M&T joints on the handle side of the door are pinned using screws. That way if the glass breaks, all you need to do is remove the screws and disassemble the frame.<!----><!---->
