I wanted six-panel interior doors for my dollhouse to match my real home, but the kit's smooth, flat doors wouldn't allow for this. Die-cut dollhouses often have custom measurements, making it challenging to find fitting components.
I opted for a Chrysnbon door kit, known for their accurate 1-inch scale. These 1/8" thick doors are ideal for die-cut dollhouses, fitting perfectly into door openings for non-working doors or with minimal adjustment if hinged. The kit includes trim, hardware, and doorknobs, with various design options.
Although the door thickness was right, the height and width needed slight adjustments. It's best to cut the door opening before assembling the dollhouse, but I had to do it afterward. I increased the height and width of the openings, cutting the polystyrene door at the bottom using an Easy Cutter and box cutter. After achieving the correct size, I inserted the door and added the trim. I painted it white to match my color scheme, being careful to maintain a smooth finish on the polystyrene.
Instead of using the kit's doorknobs, I chose miniature French door handles to match my real home. I also found exterior hardware similar to my actual front door.
