Do you want to install a door, but there is no financial means to call the masters or do not want to incur extra costs? Some are sure that they will be able to install it without outside help. But how to install an interior door if you are doing it for the first time. Like it or not, you can’t do it all alone - just the two of you. People who make repairs think: how to install the door yourself, while making everything nice and tidy? This article will provide step-by-step installation instructions to help the self-reliant and brave.
The first thing to do is to purchase interior doors. Installation is described below.
Before you install the interior door, you need to prepare the appropriate opening. This process takes place as follows. First you need to check the wall vertically and measure the dimensions of the doorway in height and width. If in future plans you have a floor reconstruction, then the increase in its level must be taken into account in the dimensions of the doorway so that the gap under the doorwas correctly identified.
The next step is to measure from the upper and lower edges of the opening with an increase of 2 cm. This must be done so that the loops are further at the same distance from the edges. Then a groove is prepared under the loop using a chisel, a hole for screws is drilled and the quality of the selection of grooves for the loops is checked.
Now you need to assemble the box. At the upper racks, the ends are cut at ∟45º. And on the other rack, designed for hinges, mark the space for the lower and upper door hinges. The grooves in the door frame must be cut in the same way as on the door itself.
When installing hinges, you need to pay attention to distance 1 and 2. If a seal is attached to the door frame, then distance 1 should be equal to distance 2. And if there is no seal, distance 1 should be 1.5 mm more than distance 2 to avoid touching the door leaf and the rebate.
Distance 1 is from the porch to the edge of the hinge on the box, and distance 2 is from the edge of the door to the edge of the hinge.
Under ∟45º, the ends of the crossbeams are cut so that when assembling between the width of the door and the posts vertically, the distance is more than 5 mm, and between the floor and the door leaf - exactly 10 mm. All parts of the box are assembled with screws.
The finished block must be fixed in the opening with wood screws. It will be enough to fix the door frame in 3 places. Everything is almost ready, it remains to figure out how to install an interior door inopening.
When the box is installed and secured, it's time to install the door itself. If you properly fix the hinge rack (vertically), the door will remain motionless in different positions. Then the lock rack is fixed. On the door leaf, you need to display identical gaps between the crossbar and the uprights vertically. The gap that appears between the box and the wall is filled with mounting foam.
Well, now you know how to install an interior door that will serve faithfully for many more years.
