Yes, the Dwarves helped build Menegroth, but afterwards the Girdle of Melian kept all outlanders (Noldo, Dwarf, or Man) from the woods of Doriath. All who remained afterwards were the smiths, who dwelt in the deeps of the Thousand Caves, working for Elu Thingol. What would elf-maidens be doing in Menegroth when it was being constructed, or in the smithies?
