(57) A method is provided to easily fit a door on its surrounding frame by means of an
elongated T-molding. Such a T-molding comprises a channel strip having an outer surface
defining a portion of the peripheral edge of the door, and an inner surface on which
is fixed a longitudinal leg or a plurality of pins. A first alternative is to cut
a longituÂdinal external groove into a vertical, peripheral stile of the door, and
to insert the longitudinal leg more or less deeply into the groove so as to adjust
the dimensions of the door. Another alternative is to bore holes into the stile and
to insert the pins of the T-molding more or less deeply into these holes. The leg
and the pins are provided with outer ridges to fixedly attach the T-molding. The pins
and holes are particularly suitable for an improved door having an inner frame (2)
made of tubular members (8-13) each defining a cavity which communicates with empty
spaces defined within the door through a longitudinal opening of the member (8-13).
By filling with polyurethane foam these spaces, openings and cavities, the tubular
members (8-13) are fixedly attached to the door and the rigidity of the latter is
increased.
