Building a large front door 42" x 6'8". Stiles out of 1 3/4" x 7" doug fir and rails bottom 12" and top 8". Inset with double glazed glass panel. Any concerns with racking at this large? will be sing traditional m&t joinery with floating tenons. I'm concerned about the 42" and the weight of the door and glass and the forces at the hinge stile. Ideas thanks
