Nope, has been totally fine for a year.
It was tight until this week - that gap hasn’t always been there, even I’m not that daft…!
It was about a year ago but I think £20 a door

It's got a chipboard core so it's not a hollow one.
I'm guessing the screws on an angle have gradually come loose making the joint between the 2 pieces more noticeable over time.
Yep correct, it was originally flush and then has gradually came loose over the past week then dropped noticeably tonight (so that I could just pull off the bottom section).

tell them to stop having so many kids would be a good start, as for your problem get 2 metal plates about 4 inches by 2 inches with 4 holes in and 8 half inch screws and fix them to the back of the door and flap and pva glue

Got his number mate?
“Double that usually but seen as you want 15 doing….”
And yes I probably still have his number
I can remember his name so wouldn’t be hard.Terrier has already been diving under there while I was ‘inspecting’ (staring at it)

Only thing you could possible try to do is Biscuit joint it together.
Funny as fuck like tbh how he’s done it . Should have just cut the bottom rail off it would have been better than that .

If it was OK when the bloke 1st did it and the joint wasn't noticeable just a case of screwing it back together. Possible longer or larger gauge screws, plenty pva on, it's water based and the excess will just wipe away with a damp cloth. And as @luvulongtime suggested if the inside is just a cupboard you could fasten metal or wooden strips across the joint.

All else fails hang the bottom part separate and pretend it’s a stable door .

I that's what I would have done just fucked the bottom rail off and had the vertical paneling going down to floor level.
He's tried to be clever making it look good but ultimately its a failure that
Thank you - just an understairs cupboard so some kind of strip / bracket should be ok even for meIf it was OK when the bloke 1st did it and the joint wasn't noticeable just a case of screwing it back together.

Just the top bit hanging now, quite liking the saloon style. Knowing me it will stay like that forever now….
The screws he used were about 2 inches long. And bent as owt when I got them out…which may well be from all the flapping past couple of daysIf it was OK when the bloke 1st did it and the joint wasn't noticeable just a case of screwing it back together.
