Hello everyone,
In our case, the angled wall (115mm (4.5 inches) sand-lime brick with a reinforced concrete strip on top) was unfortunately not built with the slight offset shown in the plans, but directly against the door jamb:
The door opens 90°, but it’s quite tight (though a bit of plaster will come off).
Some ideas would be to choose a less protruding handle (this is still the construction door) and/or to create a recess or small niche in the wall (but how? – the electrician has a tool for hollow core drilling for sockets, I can’t think of anything else). Possibly even make several niches and put decorations in them?
Or is this all a bad idea and I should just choose the narrower handle?
Looking forward to your feedback – design isn’t exactly my strong suit :\

You can’t even fix the reveal – you can’t just build something onto it... otherwise there’s no joint offset and the front door might tilt out 😉.Is that your opinion or your builder’s? Of course you can build onto it – they just use anchors for that... anything else is sloppy work and you’ll only regret it later. It’s already quite tight in there anyway...
But cool construction door – fancy is how the world goes under 😀 😀

I agree with Sebastian as well. A temporary fix will annoy you for the next 50 years.
If the door hasn’t been ordered yet, you could consider having it installed in the center with glass panels on both sides.I think that’s a good idea. Even if it’s already ordered, I would try to change the order and maybe pass any extra costs on to the developer/general contractor/whatever ;-) It’s basically just about the glass panels. The door itself can still be used.
Or another option: reduce the size of the glass panel on one side and build a wall section on the right side. Should be doable somehow (says someone who isn’t an expert :-D)
