Joiner advice

Any reason why the knacker who cut this door down (to make it into an understair cupboard door) wouldn’t glue the cut pieces together?
Instead he has only used 2 dowel screws (which have now failed, so the bottom of the door is now basically a flap).

Take it off , glue it together, then rehang it.

Fill and sand the joint then paint it.

Not rocket science man.

Laziness but it's easy fixed

He's asking why the joiner didn't, not how to do it

Take it off, glue it together ( clamp it overnight) then rehang it.

This. But that's an oddly half arsed way to do it, there's no lateral support.

Is that a prefinished door ?

I don’t think anyone is able to answer that. Almost seems like a pointless thread.

Surely a chippie didn't do that, it has to be a DIY job.

The answer is blindingly obvious ffs.

Not enough brownie points for something this trivial.

Experienced joiner (!) who I used to hang 15 internal doors about a year ago. The bottom of the door has basically just dropped off which is how I have discovered this.
Lots of other work done (some by his son, who was his ‘apprentice’ / lackey) is even worse.

I am useless at anything over and about basic DIY which is why I was asking if there was any reason he wouldn’t have glued it in the first place (before I try and do that myself).

I did type that at first then wasn’t sure from the OP.

Aye , the cowboy had no glue with him.

Not to me it isn’t. I can pretty much guarantee that you wouldn’t have a clue about basically any task I do at work, whereas to me it would be ‘blindingly obvious’

Needs fixing. Nowt worse than loose flaps.

Obvious in the fact he’s fecking useless.

Mag as well

Me and the joiner, both = yes!
