The installation of the interior door is a responsible, but not too complicated procedure. Any person who has minimal skills of a home master is able to mount it on its own. A significant amount can be saved on this, since the services of hired workers are expensive. So, how to install the interior door?
Tools and materials
For independent installation of interior doors, you must have a number of tools that will be used in the process. So, the approximate list of the necessary equipment includes the following points:
Roulette
Pencil
Drill with punch function
Scurgery
Hammer
Chisel
Chisel
Murder or building corner
Knife -cutting wood or manual circular saw with the possibility of changing the angle of cut
Drill, drill, duplic grooves of various sizes, wood screws, other fasteners
Construction foam
In addition to the above list, in the process of installing an interior door, you may need a Ushm with a diamond disk, a chainsaw, a wide wooden beam and other materials. These accessories will be necessary if the sizes of the doorway do not accurately correspond to the size of the door frame.
Assembly and installation of the door frame
The door frame is assembled on the floor, in accordance with the size of the existing doorway. The corners between vertical beams and a crossbar are cut manually, using. In the absence of the latter, an angle of 45 degrees can be calculated using a building corner. The cut lines in this case are first crossed out by a building pencil. For cutting beams, it is better to use a hacksaw with small teeth. They allow you to get a more even surface, and also damage the hacking areas of the frame less.
After the corners were cut and combined, they are fastened with self -tapping screws. It is better if the fastening of the door box elements is carried out with the door inserted into the frame. This allows even before the final fastening of the elements to evaluate the quality of the frame assembly and make the necessary adjustments. The elements of the box should fit quite tightly to the door, but do not press it. The gap between the door and the crossbars should be 2-3 mm.
The assembled door frame is also installed with the door. The frame is pre -fixed with the hands, after which the door is opened and closed, holding in places where the installation of loops is planned. The door should move freely without hooking the structural elements. The door box itself is fixed to the wall with dopel-samores selected as the color of the element.
In cases where the doorway is much wider than the assembled structure, the gap is removed using a wooden beam. At the same time, the beam, drained to the required dimensions, is attached to the wall with dupl-samores, and the door box itself is attached to the timber with nails. Small gaps are removed using construction foam.
In the reverse situation, when the frame is wider than the doorway, the latter has to expand. To do this, use a punch with a wide spatula and ushm. “Bulgarian” with a diamond disc is cut off a section of the wall at the required distance. Irregularities are aligned with a perforator so that the door frame freely enters the resulting opening.
Installation of loops and lock
The door loops are fixed with one side on the door, the other on the door box. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to the location of the loops before fixing. In which direction the doors will be opened depends on this. As fasteners, short wood screws are used. Their length should not be more than 30-40 mm, otherwise there is a risk of cracking of the door or frame in the process of twisting them.
The hole under the mortise lock is cut at a distance of about one meter from the floor. At the same time, the lock itself is measured by roulette. The measurement results are transferred to the end of the door. The location of the lock must be marked with a pencil. The location of the lock is cut out using a drill and a chisel. In this case, several holes are drilled with a drill, which are united by a chisel. After drill a number of holes are drilled. A rectangular groove is obtained by a similar method, the edges of which must be leveled with a piece of glass or sandpaper. The lock is inserted into the prepared hole and fixed with self -tapping screws. Similarly, a groove for a locking tongue in the doorbox is prepared.
