It should be noted that with great desire, minimal skills and a set of simple tools - this is quite realistic. What interior doors to deliver - this is an individual matter, which depends on taste and financial possibilities.

Required Tools

Before you put the interior doors with your own hands, you need the following tools:

hammer drill and concrete drills;
stameska;
hammer;
hacksaw;
building level;
nail puller;
ax;
construction bunk;
tape measure and pencil;
protractor

Dismantling the old door

Перед тем, how to put interior doors, нужно демонтировать старую дверь (см. Демонтаж межкомнатных дверей). Для этого нужно воспользоваться гвоздодером. Поднимаем дверь и снимаем ее с петель.

This work is desirable to perform together, as it is safer and easier. To remove the old platbands, you can use a nail puller or an ax. Thus dismantle and the old box.

Size matters

Before you put the most interior doors, it is necessary to determine the width of the doorway. The standard width of the door leaf is 600, 700, 800 and 900 mm.

You need to think carefully before you want to reduce it. After all, through him will have to bring or carry furniture.

If the narrowing of the doorway is necessary, then in advance you need to prepare a wooden beam. The width of the beam should be equal to the width of the box. You need to insert it between the box and the wall, securing the dowels.

Installation steps

Measuring boxes

Insert the interior door you need to start with measurements of the box on the door.

First, apply the upper crossmember to the top of the door. We measure the distance to be sawed off.
Further, we also act with two longitudinal crossbars. We fasten them together with screws.
Two screws in each attachment will be enough. In this process, the most important thing to remember is that there should be a gap of 4-5 mm between the box and the doors, so that the door can freely enter the box and there is no rubbing.

Important. The distance between the floor and the door should be in the limit of 10-15 mm., And between the box and the door - 4-5 mm.

Inset loops

The next step, how to put the interior doors will be inset hinges. It is easier to do this when the box is already assembled.

So:

First of all, we cut the hinges into the door leaf. To do this, measure 200 mm from the top and bottom of the door.
We put a loop on the door and direct the contour.
Further along the contour with a chisel and a hammer we make a notch depth equal to the thickness of the loops.
We put the door to the box and we already outline the contour on the box with the further cutting of the notch.
Fasten hinges (see hinges for interior doors: types and methods of installation) to the doors and box with screwsby pre-drilling holes in them. This is done to ensure that the canvas does not split.
If we put interior doors, it should be remembered that the loops are left and right.

Important. You need to understand from which side of the door and the box to cut the hinges so that the interior door opens in the direction you need. The legs of the screws need to be lubricated with engine oil or special graphite grease.

Installation of interior doors

Further essence, how to put the interior door is to install and strengthen the box in the doorway.

So:

To do this, put the box in the opening and carefully align it and center it. This is a very important and crucial moment.
We fix the box with wedges at the top and bottom. We make with the help of a drill three holes in each rack of the box. As a result, there will be six marks on the wall by which we will make holes for fixing the box.
We take out the wedges and remove the box.
According to the marks on the wall of the impact drill with a drill for concrete, we make six holes for the dowels. Next, insert the holes in the holes.
Install the box and center it again and align with the level.
We fix the box with the help of long screws, which in turn are closed with special caps to match the color of the door.

Important. If during the installation of interior doors you had to narrow the doorway, you first need to fix the pre-prepared timber to the wall and attach the box to it.

Door installation and lock inset

We put interior doors. Hinging a door onto a fixed box is not difficult, but it is advisable to do this process together. We check the doors, how they close and if everything is normal, then we can proceed to the insertion of the lock and handles.

First you need to select the height to install the door knob. It should be comfortable to open.
Next, we make the markup under the lock case, putting it to the end of the door.
Drill a groove under the lock with a drill. The drill must be taken one size smaller than the thickness of the lock.
Then we knock out with a chisel, we clean the inside of the chisel with the chisel, not forgetting that the depth should be 2-3 mm more for the size of the lock case.
After preparing the hole for the lock body, it is required to make a markup for the slot selection. This is done in such a way that the plane of the lock stripe becomes equal to the end of the door leaf.
Next you need to check the correctness of the preparation of the slots under the lock. Let's try to install it in the slots.
If it sits tightly, then you can proceed before drilling the hole for the lock cylinder.

Important. Drill a hole for the lock larvae with a shift of 2-3 mm from the edge of the door, taking into account the thickness of the front plate.

If there is a latch in the lock, then you will have to drill a hole for the rod that connects the handle of the lock.
Next, using the screws that are included in the kit to the lock, fasten the handles and the lock itself to the door.
The next step will be drilling holes for fastening the strap. Fasten the bar itself. In order to fix the receiving pad on the door frame, we use the following method. Mark the tongue of the castle with a marker. We close the interior door and release the tongue.
As a result, a box will remain on the box for drilling a hole under the lock tongue. With the help of a drill and chisel we form a cutout under the tongue of the lock. If there is a heck of a door, then we make a hole for it. Attach the receiving pad, direct the contour and make a cut under the bar to a depth equal to the thickness of the bar and fasten it with screws.

Filling gaps

The penultimate stage of self-installation of interior doors is to fill the gaps between the box and the wall with foam.

But just before pouring it is necessary to close the door with plastic wrap. Seal the box with building tape. It is necessary to install three spacers inside the box: at the height of the hinges and handles, since in the process of solidification of the mounting foam, a slight deformation of the box is possible.

It is necessary to remove the dust with a vacuum cleaner and a little water wet places where foam will be applied. With the help of spray we put a layer of foam in the gap between the box and the wall.

We close the door, after inserting several narrow pieces of cardboard into the gap between the box and the door so that the door does not jam.

Important. Polyurethane foam gains its properties for 12 hours.

Installation of platbands

The last step in how to put the interior door is to install the door trim. To do this, cut off the rest of the mounting foam with a knife and begin measuring the trim along the length.

So:

With the help of the construction vessel, we make a gash at an angle of 45 degrees.
Measure the distance from the floor to the middle washed down the door frame. It will be the length of the casing in its short part.
Let's transfer the measured distance to the trimmed trim.
We try on the casing to the box and if everything suits, then with the help of nails we bait it to the box.
We will cut the following strips in the same order and attach them to the box.
After zapilov and baiting all the slats of the box and visual inspection, hammer nails into the box, but not at full length, and leave 1 mm unbroken. After that, we take a Phillips screwdriver, and, setting it on the nail head, we finish off with a hammer. This is done so that the casing does not leave any traces of a hammer.

Important. The distance from the edge of the casing to the door hinges should be 2.0 mm on the hinge side and 4.5 mm on the lock side.

And, finally, you need to take the construction wax and wipe the place from the nails. This completes the installation of the interior door on its own.
