Wood Doors

On N.W. 29th Street in Portland. In 2006, they were calling this place Staver Station. According to their Website, it is now being called Staver Locomotive. But when we went back to acquire some after shots in 2013, they had not yet erected any signage.

We think it is a miniature train enthusiasts pet project for showcasing all things related to miniature trains of all stripe. We wish we had room here to show you some of the train track setups, because they are pretty elaborate.

Anyway, we were hired by Co-Bella Design to install a Nana folding-door assembly into the above opening back in 2006.

This interior door application called for a flush floor track application. Here we are shown laying out the placement of the track for the concrete cutting, employing the use of masking tape to mark where the mortise is to be located.

Master Journeyman door mechanic Jared Anderson goes about the task of prepping the doors and installing the hardware on-site.

Here we have a shot of the floor-track after we installed it into the masonry floor.

And the finished product shown here with the active door open for basic entry into and exiting from the room.

And for when the occasion calls for it, the doors are all opened and stacked to the side.

One might assume that this building will (in part at least) serve as a multi-function facility where guests are perhaps treated to live music while they roam about looking at all the trains and the miniature terrains upon which they run while sipping cocktails?

We really are not privy to those things, but one thing we do believe to be certain, and that is that you would be hard pressed to find a folding door installation executed with greater care and expertise.
