How Do You Cut Louver Slots?

If you’re looking to add some privacy to your home or office, or simply want to spruce up a plain door, adding louvers is a great way to do it. But how do you cut louver slots? Read on for a step-by-step guide.

You’ll also need some clamps to hold the door in place while you’re working.

Next, mark out the area where you want the louvers to go. Make sure to leave enough space between each louver so that they can move freely.

Once you have your lines marked, it’s time to start cutting.

If you’re using a circular saw, set the depth of the blade so that it will only cut through the door’s surface. Then, make your cuts following your marked lines.

If you’re using a jigsaw, you may need to make several passes to get through the thickness of the door.

Once all of your cuts are made, it’s time to drill the holes for the louver pins. Drill one hole at each end of each louver slot.

These holes should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the louver pins.

Finally, it’s time to assemble everything! Insert the pins into the holes at each end of the slots, and then place the louvers into the slots. Make sure that the louvers can move freely before attaching them permanently with screws or adhesive.

And there you have it! Now you know how to cut louver slots like a pro.
