How to Build a Dog Crate

Step 10

Drill the Fixed Center Stile

I created two center stiles in the same manner as the corner stiles, with the only difference being their width. For the one that will be attached to the front face frame, I drilled the same 3/4-inch holes as the other stiles, and then drilled a 1/2-inch hole all the way through the stile. This allows the door to slide into the crate when opened.
