How to attach to the box

When installing door frames, it is often necessary to close the rest of the slope with something. Most often for these purposes are used "dobory", which can be purchased together with door leafs and platbands. However, in most cases, such additional elements require adjustment, since the attachment to the box should be as tight as possible, and always strictly according to the size of the visible part of the slope.

Door frames

There are two versions of the door frames, which are usually attached dobor:

• with a groove for him
• without groove.

In the first case, the additional element is inserted into the groove of the box with one (long) side, while its second side is not attached.

In the second version, the dobor will need to be fixed to the slope, without fixing to the door frame.

Choice of dobor

Dobora are the levels executed from the laminated MDF. The color of these elements usually coincides with the color of the door frame and door trim. But if you wish, you can always purchase additional colors if this option is more suited to the design of your room.

Do not forget that the doorways close the slopes from three sides - from above and from two sides. In this case, it is desirable that the upper door should be longer than the width of the door, and the vertical doors should rest on it at a right angle.

The various width of the dobor allows you to pick them up for slopes of almost any width. The main thing is that the additional element is not already what is needed. If you can’t select the exact fit, you can trim it. To do this, it is recommended to contact the furniture workshops, as, in addition, you should also order a sticker of the edge tape for one or two ends of finishing.

Installation of dobor with a groove

First, consider how to attach the door panels to the door if the door frame has a special groove:

1. Install and secure the door frame in the opening. You can even hang the door - it will not affect the installation dobor.
2. Trim the length to the required size.
3. Measure from the outer edge of the wall (on the side of the slope) to the door frame in at least three places. If these distances do not coincide, then dobor will have to be cut in the furniture workshop. At the end of the dobor, to which the casing will be attached, it is also necessary to glue the edge tape.
4. Insert the holes into the grooves of the door frame: first the upper horizontal, then the side vertical ones. Dobory should be located strictly at an angle of 90 degrees to the plane of the door frame.
5. Check their horizontal and vertical.
6. Glue the masking tape in 4-5 places along the length of the hole in such a way that with its help fix it in the desired position.
7. Fill the gap between the wall and the wall with foam.
8. Wait until the foam hardens, cut off the excess excess.
9. Attach the trim.

Installation of dobor without a groove

After installing the door in the doorway, it is necessary to measure the remaining uncovered part of the wall (slopes). If the holes have to be cut along the long side, then it is better to do it also in the furniture workshop. In the same place, order the edge banding tape from the two ends of the panels (from the side adjacent to the door frame and from the frames).

If the slopes are not plastered, then fasten the dobor as follows: take a wooden plank or a small timber and attach it to the slopes so that the dobo can be fastened on top of this plank, and its verticality (horizontal for the upper dobor) and right angle between it and the door frame.

With even plastered slopes, you can do without an additional wooden plank, provided that there is no need to leave any space between the wall and the wall.

1. Attach to the strap dobor.
2. Fill the remaining space between the wall and the wall with foam. To make the foam quicker, spray it with water.
3. Cut off any excess cured foam.
4. Secure the trim.

Benefits of using dobor

As you can see, the technology of fixing dobori allows you to avoid such a tedious procedure, like plastering slopes. Properly chosen additional element makes the slope smooth and beautiful, no matter how bad the slope looked before it. However, if the space between the wall and the wall exceeds 3–4 centimeters, it is better to fix the floor with small wooden bars bolted to the wall.

In those cases when you do not have the opportunity to use the factory fittings, you can make their handmade “analog” of laminate or MDF panels. This solution will allow you to perform "diverging" slopes (located not at an angle of 90 degrees relative to the door frame).
