Re: veneering a steel door

For what it's worth: My office building has a steel door (facing east) as
part of the rear entrance. The direct sunlight on the metal door would
force
it to warp so badly it wouldn't close and latch properly. We had to
install
a super magnet at the top of the door to force it to close and latch on
sunny days. Point of this is that metal definitely moves - as much as wood
it would appear. Doubt that wood veneer would work with metal.


I suspect there is something else at work with that door Gary, rather than
the steel door moving great amounts. Have you ever noticed how little car
parts move? Steel is quite stable at the temperatures we're talking about.
