How to install the interior door in your home

Interroom door is always in sight. And therefore the door should have not only a functional purpose - to block access, isolate noise, but also the door should fit into the general interior of the premises, in harmony with the furniture in the house.

Preliminary work

During construction or repair one of the last elements of the building are interior doors.

How to install them to be beautiful, and the design was kept for many years, is shown in this manual:

• in the process of building a new building or in the process of installing a new additional partition
• because of the need to replace the existing door

Measurements

We need to first prepare the opening for the installation of the door frame. We don’t consider building a new building here - everything is done according to the project and according to the approved technology.

Consider the option - how to install interior doors, if the building is operated, that is, in your house, which is much more complicated than in the construction of the finished project.

• We approve the overall design - hinged door (see Installing hinged interior doors. How to combine beauty and functionality), which way to open, or a sliding door.
• Deciding on door design - rectangular or with an oval top, solid or with a glass insert (see Interior doors with a stained-glass window: about beauty and individuality), color of the door, handles, hinges, coating - we assert for ourselves all the nuances of the overall design and visible structural elements.
• We approve the size of the doorway (web width). Standard (customary) door sizes are in the range of 70–80 cm. To purchase a door, we use the table.

• You must first remove the old door unit and evaluate the opening in the wall. in terms of its strength (see How the doorway is strengthened).

Attention: in the presence of local destructions or deep through cracks in the door installation area, it is necessary to carry out the repair work of the doorway first.

Not very difficult science - how to install an interior door - still requires a professional approach.

Tools and materials

To dismantle the old door will be required (see. Dismantling interior doors):

• Phillips screwdriver
• straight screwdriver
• hammer
• nail catcher

To repair the doorway (embedment of large chips with cement-sand mortar on plaster or brick partitions) may require a trowel or trowel. Before applying the solution, it is necessary to drive a few nails of 70? 3 half of their length into the zone of cleavage into the plaster partition.

Council from the category of "quality for yourself." The very zone of cleavage of a brick or plaster partition, also concrete or wood, should be soaked with water. This will prevent the cement from drying out, there will be more mortar strength, it will adhere better to the chips.

To install the door unit will need:

• Drill
• Structin
• Screws, for example 80? 5
• Hammer
• Sawing
• Stameska
• Отвёртка
• Wedges (wood or plastic)
• Square with a right angle
• 45 degree angle
• Level or plummet
• Roulette
• Pencil

We assemble the door frame

Spent technologies how to install interior doors allow door sets to be produced as ready-made door blocks, including complete with fasteners, and with blanks for assembling a door block. The first version of the comments does not require.

Consider in detail the second option, when complete with a door leaf attached box of universal size:

Advice from the category of "everything in the farm is useful." Do not rush to throw the packing material of the door unit - it is useful to us.

• We will prepare the place of work - laying it with packing material from the door block, so as not to leave scratches on the surfaces.
• Determine the direction of opening the doors and, accordingly, we will orient the top-bottom of the door frame details.
• The top element of the box is marked by the size of the sheet +7 mm and cut with a hacksaw at a 45 degree angle, as shown in Figure 1.
• We put the short and long elements of the box in accordance with Figure 2. We clamp the knotted unit with a clamp, drill holes with a diameter of 2.5 mm. Remove the long element from the clamp and ream the hole to 4.5 mm (Figure 2).
• From the second side we conduct similar actions. Using the screws from the enclosed kit we connect the structure.

Advice from the category of "accuracy - a pledge of quality." We used the old packaging again: the clamp should be applied to the parts only through the gasket material so as not to damage the decorative coating.

Attach the threshold

The action algorithm here is as follows (see Thresholds for interior doors):

1. We prepare the threshold to the size we need: the size of the web width is 7 mm. Mark up the threshold. We cut out the bottom quarter in racks with the pretended part of the box to connect to the threshold. Measure the selected size and add to the size of the threshold.
2. We collect the box, leaving a gap with a canvas of 3.5 mm.
3. We drill holes for screws with a diameter of 2.5 mm. We remove the threshold and ream the holes in the racks to a diameter of 4 mm.
4. We collect the box and samorezamy screws.
5. To fix the gap, it is useful to use cardboard inserted between the canvas and the box (Figures 3 and 4).

Install fittings

The action plan here is as follows:

• Re-check the direction of opening the door and mark the installation location of the door hinges. It is better to put loops in the amount of three pieces on the door (Figure 5).
• We mark on the box and the canvas where the hinges, door knob and lock are installed, if any.
• We take out the door leaf from the box.
• Mark the contours of the hinges and the mating of the castle on the ground, choose chisel cavities equal to the thickness of the plates (Figure 6).
• We put the details, we pierce the holes with an awl, ream the drill with a diameter of 2.5 mm and fasten it to the door frame.

Install the door frame

We insert into the standard opening

You can install one box in the opening, but you can also install the entire door block, provided that the gaps between the leaf and the box are filled with some kind of laying material. The entire decorative surface should be protected with paper (stick with adhesive tape) from the possible penetration of polyurethane foam.

This is a proven modern technology, how to install interior doors, because stationery or paint tape has become an indispensable attribute of interior construction and finishing works.

Consider the option of installing one box:

1. The third time we check the direction of opening the door.
2. Prepare struts equal to the width of the web +7 mm (Figure 7). Install the box in the opening and fix the wedges, trying to install the wedges opposite the struts.
3. Expose the box to a plumb line or level, knock wedges. The operation is repeated several times, at least two. At one time such an action (installation and positioning) is not done.
4. With a good doorway in the plaster partition (or more solid), it is enough to fix the door partition using one mounting foam. The curing time of the foam is indicated on the cylinder. After complete curing of the foam, cut it off with a knife. Installing the pins and trim (Figure 8).

Install the door unit in a large opening

Далее показано how to install interior doors, если стена не типовая перегородка, а поперечный размер её больше размера дверного блока. В этом случае следует к при монтаже дверной коробки добавлять специальные дополнительные детали — доборы (Рисунки 9 и 10).

Waterproofing door frame

The lower part of the door block (threshold) must be extremely protected from contact with water, especially to prevent water from flowing under the threshold. This problem can be simply solved with a silicone sealant (Figure 11).

Finally

Внешне, how to install interior doors, выглядит всё просто. Операции несложны и сама инструкция может подвигнуть на одиночное выполнение работ.

Advice from years of experience. Practice shows that installing the door for the first time is advisable with a mentor. Outward simplicity relaxes attention and it is very likely that a marriage will be redone the next day. The unpleasant thing is that not every marriage can be fixed. But the work in “four hands” and “four eyes”, as a rule, gives excellent results.
