Installation of Finnish interior doors. Instructions for installing external doors

Finnish doors began their victorious march across the expanses of the post-Soviet countries at the end of the last century. People began to trust that high quality can be behind a low price. White paneled doors from Finnish manufacturers, which are still not only retaining, but also expanding the niche of their products, are familiar to everyone. Most people want to have strong, reliable, comfortable and durable doors.

Finnish doors began their victorious march across our country more than 10 years ago. The use of environmentally friendly materials and the most modern technologies makes it possible to produce high-quality and high-quality products designed for a long service life without losing their consumer qualities.

The range and color range of currently supplied Finnish doors are so wide that they can satisfy the most sophisticated taste of the buyer. These are interior doors, doors for saunas, doors for bathrooms, fire doors, entrance doors and others.

Despite this diversity, interior doors are still in the greatest and most stable demand. Previously, the vast majority of Finnish interior doors supplied to our country were smooth frame doors with honeycomb filling or panel doors made of solid pine. Usually these doors were white or gray. Now veneered and melamine doors have been added to them. Veneered doors are finished with veneer of precious woods - oak, beech, hornbeam, mahogany. Melamine doors are covered with melamine, imitating the veneer of some types of wood - walnut, cherry, pear, etc.

All varieties of Finnish doors have one distinctive design feature that distinguishes them from the bulk of other doors. This is the presence of a slat or a special ledge on the door leaf, which closes the gap between the leaf and the door frame. This design improves the heat and sound insulation of Finnish doors. In addition, the protrusion of the door leaf makes possible flaws during installation invisible.

The set of interior doors includes a door frame with embedded hinges and a door leaf with an installed mortise lock, which minimizes damage that occurs during the installation of doors.

Finnish interior doors are adapted to Russian conditions. Thanks to the thickness of the door frame of 92 mm, they are suitable for installation in any interior partitions. The height of the door frame of Finnish doors is 210 mm, which exceeds the Russian standard by several centimeters. Therefore, sometimes it becomes necessary to trim the door a little.

Before purchasing Finnish interior doors, determine which doors you need - left or right. If the door hinges are on your left, this is a left door. These doors have left locks. And if the door hinges are on the right, then these are right doors with the right lock. You must be in the room where the door opens.

Installation of Finnish doors.

The door block consists of a strapping box and one- or two-door leaves. By design and functional purpose, doors are divided into panel and frame, external, internal, balcony, etc., with and without a threshold, with and without a transom, glazed and deaf ...

Panel doors consist of a frame, filling and skins. frame completed from a bar (slats), sheathing - from glued plywood, veneer, hardboard, infill - from small-sized sawn timber, waste plywood and hardboard, paper honeycombs. foam plastics, etc. Along the perimeter, the door leaf is framed with wooden lining.

Frame doors (paneled, strapping) consist of strapping (bars) and filler (panels). As a panel, you can use glass, boards, plywood, fibreboard and chipboard.

According to the drawing of the door leaves, the doors are divided into single-leaf, double-leaf with leaves of the same and different widths, and according to the method of opening - into the right ones with the door leaf opening counterclockwise and the left doors with the door leaf opening clockwise.

Front and internal doors can be deaf or glazed. Often, at door blocks, the upper part (transom) is glazed and fixed tightly in a box or glass is inserted into the door instead of panels.

The door can be designed independently, ordered from the master or purchased at the store. More durable doors made of oak or beech, more beautiful - mahogany or ash.

Installation of door frames and doors. When installing the door frame of the front door, the block is lifted and installed in the opening on a lining of roofing paper on mastic. Recently, the door frame is most often installed on mounting foam. It is necessary to ensure that the lower bar is in a strictly horizontal position. Vertical and horizontal elements are installed on a square, plumb and level. The plumb line must pass exactly through the middle of the top side and the intersection of the diagonals of the box. The absence of distortions during installation is evidenced by the equality of the diagonals. This can be achieved with wedges, lifting one side or the other of the box. After vertical and horizontal alignment, the box is fixed to the wall at three points on each side: at a distance of 1 m from the floor and 30 cm from the top and bottom of the box. In the wall (against the side of the box), holes are drilled or punched with a jumper, wooden plugs are driven into them to a depth of 40-50 mm. a box is installed and nails are driven into the corks, the caps are sunk into the wood by at least 2 mm. Instead of nails, steel pins with a diameter of 8-10 mm can be used, the diameter of the holes for them should be 2-3 mm smaller than the diameter of the pins.

The gaps during installation between the wall and the box are caulked dry or wet. With the dry method, the gaps are filled with dry tow, slag or glass wool and compacted. When wet - the materials are moistened in a plaster test (it is prepared in small portions - from 0.2 to 0.5 l). When hardening, wet gypsum expands and presses more tightly against the wall and bar, protecting the gap from blowing.

When installing, the strapping of the paneled outer door is made of simple and curly bars. Calevkas are selected on a strapping or on separate bars. They form a groove with a depth of 15-20mm. where panels up to 50 mm thick are inserted.

Internal doors, depending on the purpose, can be solid or lattice. Boxes for internal doors are less massive and consist of three bars - two vertical ones and an upper one. When installing doors in the inner walls, the openings are made without quarters. The door frame in the partitions is pulled out to one side of the doorway by the thickness of the plaster so that during installation the platband is adjacent to the frame and the wall. When the thickness of the partition is less than the width of the door frame, a bar is nailed with a thickness equal to the difference in the thicknesses of the partition and the frame. If the thickness of the partition is greater than the width of the door frame, a bar of the appropriate thickness is nailed from the inside of the box.

If, during installation, the door bars are additionally connected with dowels (wooden pins), the door becomes stronger. The diameter of the holes for the dowels is 10-15mm. Pins are made from hardwood. The dowels are fastened with glue.

Doors are installed on hinges, selected according to size. Most often, two hinges are installed on the door leaf, but in some cases, when the door is made of heavy wood, three hinges are installed. Under no circumstances should the hinges be installed on the horizontal bars of the door frame.

Bindings and doors are hung on hinges of various designs, more often on hemispherical and hinged ones. Half-hinged loops consist of two half-cards; in one, a rod, or axis, is attached, in the other - a hinge in the form of a cap. Such loops are always removable, their cards are easily separated. To reduce friction between them, a ring is put on the rod, often bronze (copper or brass can be used). Each card has three to four screw holes (six to eight holes per hinge), and sometimes more. The height of such loops is 75-50 mm, the width of the card is 30-45 mm.

Hinge loops are made deaf and removable; in the latter, a tip is screwed onto one end of the rod. Loop height - 75-25 mm, card width - 30-35 mm. Bindings and doors are installed on such hinges. Smaller hinges are used for vents. The dimensions of the loops are determined based on the massiveness of the products, the dimensions of the bars of the boxes and strappings.

The shank of the screw must fit tightly enough into the hinge hole, and its head into the countersunk hole. When the screw head protrudes over the countersunk hole, the doors will spring back and not close tightly.

During installation, screws with flat or countersunk, semicircular or semi-counterhead heads are used: the first type of screws is for all types of work, the second and third are for fastening handles, latches and other devices, that is, where the protruding heads will not interfere with the dense vestibule of the valves door bindings.

When installing or replacing collapsible hinges, it must be remembered that the hinges can be left and right - interchangeable. New loops should have the same direction as the old ones.

When installing, to determine the direction of the door, you need to open it towards yourself - the door will be left-handed or right-handed, depending on which hand is on the door handle. There is a rule to make it easier to remember: the right door opens counterclockwise.

The work on installing the hinges is carried out in the following sequence: the hinge is attached to the sash or door at a distance from the edge equal to the length of the hinge. Mark places for loops. With a chisel, wood is cut out to the thickness of the loop card and attached with screws so that its axis is parallel to the edge of the bar. Having strengthened the hinges on the sash or door, they are opened, put on the box, tightly pressed against the upper bar, and outlined according to the opened cards, leaving risks under the hinges on a quarter. According to the risks, wood is selected for hinge cards, places for screws are marked, each hinge is installed with one screw and it is checked how the sash or door is covered. If necessary, make corrections and strengthen the hinges with screws.

When installing doors in a frame, it is especially important to fit the door to the quarter. The hinged door should not spring when opening and closing, but rotate freely on hinges.

Handles are also fastened with screws. The gaps between the door frames and the wall are covered with slotted boards.

After installing the door block, the canvas is removed from the hinges so as not to damage it during finishing work. At the end of the finishing of the premises, the door blocks in the openings of the plastered walls and partitions are lined with platbands at the level of the wall plane.

Installation of the finished kit. A door set usually consists of three elements: a door leaf with a built-in lock and a latch, a door frame with a stopper for doors and hinges, and platbands fitted for a mustache connection. Finnish doors have a strong reputation in our market, they are seriously competing with French products, which has a special elegance.

A modern interior door can be made from chipboard or fiberboard, aluminum and plastic (PVC), etc. Door frames are also made from different materials.

In a finished door set, the hardest work is done at the factory. Jambs and lintels profiled and drilled for assembly. Hinges are installed on the doors, the lock is inserted into place. It remains to assemble the components and install the kit in a new doorway or in an old doorway, from which the door and frame fastening were removed. Assembly principles are the same for all door sets. The difference lies in the completeness of the assembly of the supplied package. The box may be in a set of individual elements, platbands separately, or maybe it's all already assembled.

Before, measure the height and width of the opening, as well as the thickness of the wall. Door frames are supplied in sets depending on the thickness of the wall. Before installation, it is necessary to decide on which side of the wall the door will open and whether it will open to the left or right. It is very important when installing a door block - and it depends on your skill - to correctly place the frame in the doorway. If the frame is slightly skewed or loose in the opening, the door will not open and close correctly. And you are unlikely to be able to install the door without damaging its appearance. So, you need to start with the hinged side of the box. If you have correctly installed this jamb and drove it tightly, then it is not difficult at all to install the top crossbar and the opposite jamb.

The canvas, platbands and parts of the box facing the room are already finished (paint, varnish, veneer, etc.), while the wood facing the inner edge of the opening is usually not processed.

The door frame is assembled as follows: first, three sections of the door frame and the door trim are connected, passing the plastic spikes on the jambs into the plastic grooves on the lintel. Then press the components together until their corners connect correctly. The box is fastened by inserting bolts into the drilled holes and tightening them with nuts.

After that, the assembled box is placed in the doorway. The gaps between the jambs and the wall should be the same on both sides. The platband is pressed tightly against the wall. Using a plumb line or level, make sure that the hinged jamb stands vertically and does not deviate to the side.

Working from the other side of the doorway, insert the seal between the hinge jamb and the wall at the level of all three hinge pins. Holes are drilled in the raw surface of the loop jamb at the level of each loop. If the wall is concrete or brick, then the wall is drilled and plugs are inserted into the holes. Then install the jamb to the wall with screws No. 10. The screws must be long enough to grab the jamb, the seal and go into the wall at least 25 mm

Doors are hung as follows: the door is lowered at right angles to the plane of the opening with three hinge sockets screwed to the door onto the corresponding hinge pins of the jamb. Install the handles and handle covers on both sides of the door, close the door, adjust the position of the loose jamb, and then insert the seal between the jamb and the wall. The second jamb is fixed to the wall in the same way.

In order to cut the trim to size, the inner edge of one of its sections is inserted into the corresponding groove of the door frame stopper. If a gap is formed between the platband and the wall, then the surface of the platband is adjusted with a planer.

Do the same with other sections.

The platbands are strengthened during installation as follows: three sections of the platbands are connected similarly to the sections of the box; smear with the necessary glue (PVA, mounting adhesives Liquid, Nails, Dap, the Nail, etc.) the raw surface of the box along the jambs and lintels, then push the assembled casing into the door frame. During installation, the inner sides of the casing are firmly pressed against the groove of the assembled box. Three spacers are cut from a bar (or boards) to the width of the doorway. Under the ends of the bars it is necessary to put a soft cloth so as not to damage the varnished surface of the casing. Then spacers are wedged between the sections of the casing lubricated with glue. This will securely hold the trim in place until the glue dries.

Entrance and interior doors. Finnish doors

Quite popular for many years, are Finnish doors. Previously, they were only available to some people. But now they can be found absolutely everywhere: in cafes, restaurants, apartments. These doors have already managed to occupy a certain niche in this market and study the Russian consumer.

Finnish doors managed to show that they are very reliable and of high quality. They worked on the manufacturing technology of these doors for a very long time. And this brought the production of Finnish doors to a new - European level. They became sold in all countries.
One of the differences between Finnish doors is a strict design in a palette with rather cold shades. The abundance of various models allows each buyer to find what he needs. But some people don't want to buy Finnish doors because they think their design is a little "stingy".

The most important advantage over other doors is the ease of installation. All necessary holes are made by the manufacturer. The width of the door frame is 9 cm, the height is 210 cm. These parameters are suitable for Russian apartments, although sometimes you have to cut the door a little or increase the opening itself.

If you decide to give preference to purchasing exactly Finnish doors, then when buying, you need to look at the certificate of conformity issued to the manufacturing company and for the presence of a corresponding seal and stamp on it at the end of the door itself.

- Price and Quality are up-to-date

Have you decided to buy interior doors? then think about a few points: the price that suits you, the desired door opening option, design, dimensions and the presence of additional doors similar in design to doors.
It will not be superfluous to immediately think over the design of the doors. It should be borne in mind that Sami wooden doors are expensive, but at the same time, they can become a real decoration of the interior. Elegance, variety of forms and service life of such doors (massive doors can be repaired) - speaks for itself. If your goal is to buy interior doors that are durable and impeccable in operation, you need to know the strict observance of manufacturers of all cycles of the technological process in their manufacture. The quality of the materials used by the craftsmen also plays an important role. To mark the high quality, some companies put their logo on the product.
Cheaper will be interior doors made from combined materials such as MDF. They look great, are durable and in fact are not inferior in quality to a wooden door. But the plus is that their reaction to changes in humidity in the room is much less. The price of an MDF door depends on the type of veneer wood that is used for finishing. At the same time, the type of material does not affect the quality of the door itself, it gives the door leaf a shade and texture.
There are also hollow, so-called cellular filling option, doors. The outer panel is specially formed. Such as masonite interior doors are less durable and need more accurate operation. They exist both already covered with veneer, and simply primed. The latter are suitable for people with a more creative approach, as they allow you to paint the interior as you think.

The door frame can be made from either solid wood or chipboard or MDF. It is the tree, despite its popularity among buyers, that is less practical. The array can be damaged over time, and there is also a risk of changing linear dimensions. Modern materials made under wood not only exceed the physical properties of the array, but also in appearance, sometimes surpass natural wood. At the same time, the technology for installing boxes of different materials will be completely different.

Certification is not provided for interior doors. And to determine the quality of the material by eye from which the door leaf is made is quite difficult. Experts recommend buying a door in proven serious companies, or an already established and proven brand.

Processed

Follow the instructions, be precise with the measurements and check the results. Read the instructions carefully before proceeding with the installation. The exterior door is intended primarily for use as an entrance door in private year-round residences, mansions and townhouses, in buildings where thermal insulation qualities are required.

It is strictly forbidden to mount doors in a house under construction or in a room where wet work is carried out (for example, floor concreting, screed pouring, etc.). Too much moisture can warp the wood and cause the paint to peel off. In addition, fittings, including the lock body, may become rusty.

ATTENTION! When installing entrance doors in the cold season, it is necessary to use certified mounting foams specially designed for use at low temperatures - information with specific recommendations for use is usually printed on the bottle by the manufacturer.

Always install a moisture barrier (bituminous strip, etc.) between the horizontal base and the threshold.

Never install the box directly on a concrete floor or screed! Use, for example, a bituminous strip, etc.

Doors should be installed in places with a sufficiently long roof overhang or canopy over the door, which will protect the surface of the door from moisture and sunlight.

When determining the dimensions of the canopy, you should be guided by the following formula: the width of the canopy D must be at least half the height of the canopy (distance from the bottom of the door to the bottom of the canopy, see diagram).

Stages of installation of the front door:

Stage 1

Check that the base under the threshold is horizontal.

Install the tide in the mounting opening and place the assembled box on it

Lubricate the seam with sealing compound.

The tide can be installed later. In this case, turn the tide under the threshold

and glue it by installing the ebb in the groove intended for it in the threshold.

Stage 2

Fasten the box in the mounting hole with wedges, inserting them above the mounting holes of the box so that the side of the box with the hinges is exactly vertical (both parallel and prependicular to the plane of the wall). Use two wedges for each mounting hole in the box, insert one wedge from the outside and the other from the inside. Use a spirit level to check that the box is level.

Make sure there is enough space around the perimeter of the box for the seal

and fasten the hinged side of the box with the fixing screws to the wall.

Stage 3

Install anti-burglary pins in the door. Do not screw them all the way in, leave a margin of 10mm. Hang the door leaf on the hinges.

Tighten the anti-burglary pins to failure, install and tighten the fixing screws of the hinge.

Stage 4

Make sure the threshold is set horizontally. Align the side of the box with the lock striker (both parallel and prependicular to the plane of the wall). Fasten the box to the wall with fixing screws.

Stage 5

Use a hex wrench to adjust the door height. Before adjusting the door to the side, loosen the anti-burglary pins and fixing screws. Adjust to the side with the adjusting screw intended for this purpose. After adjustment, tighten the anti-burglary pins and fixing screws to the stop.

Distinctive features of screw hinges are low cost of products, long service life and ease of installation. Installation of screw hinges is carried out using the simplest set of tools and can be carried out by novice craftsmen. What screw hinges are used for, how to install and adjust fittings, read on.

A little about screw hinges

Loop device

Screw-in hinges for doors and windows consist of three main parts:

Some types of loops are equipped with a nylon insert and a ball. Additional design elements are intended for:

• silent operation of fittings;
• reducing the friction force that affects the service life of fittings.

Any hinge can be supplemented with a decorative cap that hides the internal structure of the fittings and gives the hinge an aesthetic appearance so that it does not stand out from the overall design of the room.

The more additional elements added to the design of the hinge, the higher the cost of fittings and often the longer the life of the product.

Screw-in door hinges differ in several ways:

• dimensions. Loops are currently available in various sizes. The small screw-in hinge is a window hinge, the large hinges are door hinges;

• number of pins. Screw hinges are equipped with 1-4 pins in each part. Hinges with 1-2 pins are ideal for lightweight plastic doors and window sashes. Hinges with 3 pins are installed on doors made of wood-based panels. Screw-in hinges with 4 pins are recommended for mounting doors made of solid wood;

• screw-in hinges can be adjustable, that is, after installing the hinge, you can align the position of the door in three main planes and unadjustable.

An overview of the various types of screw-in hinges is presented in the video.

Application area

Screw hinges are used to install interior and other wooden doors, as well as wooden windows. This type of loop has a number of advantages, which include:

• ease of installation. To install the hinge, you will need a drill, marking tools and a minimum of installer skills;
• installed hinges are almost invisible, and the visible part can be covered with various decorative elements that give the hinge an individual look;
• most of the hinges are equipped with an adjustment that allows you to hide minor defects that occurred during the installation of the door;
• minimal maintenance. The hinge requires periodic lubrication, which is applied, not from the hinges;

• low cost. Due to the simplicity of the design, the cost of fittings is lower than that of other types of hinges.

Installation and adjustment of hinges

Hinge mounting

Screw-in hinges can be installed, guided by the following diagram:

1. the door leaf is fixed on the floor to give stability, contributing to the correct installation of the hinges. To fix the door leaf, you can use special racks purchased in a store or made independently;

1. on the door leaf and the box, the places intended for the installation of hinges are marked;

If two hinges are installed on the door, then the minimum distance from the top and bottom of the leaf should be 15-20 cm. If it is necessary to install more hinges, the distance from the top and bottom can be reduced to 8-12 cm.

1. a template for installing the hinge is attached to the door leaf using a conventional clamp. The template can be supplied with a loop or sold separately. You can make a template with your own hands;

1. using a drill with a drill of a suitable diameter, holes for the pins are drilled. The number of holes is equal to the number of pins, and the depth of each hole is equal to the length of the pin;
2. in a similar way, the door frame is prepared;
3. parts of the loops are installed in the place intended for them with a screwdriver or a special nozzle on the drill;
4. the hinged part of the loop is hung on the frame part;

Finnish door hinges are fasteners that have won the trust of consumers due to their high quality and excellent performance. Today, Finnish doors are widely used as interior and office doors, for baths or saunas, as well as entrance doors to a house or any building. Often they are chosen for ease of installation and durability of the structure. In a set of such doors, all the necessary fittings are usually already provided, and the Finnish hinges are already embedded in the door leaf and in the box. However, in some cases it is required to purchase them separately from the door array. This may be necessary in a number of situations:

• in case of failure of existing parts;
• when installing a door similar to the Finnish one, but of a different production;
• if desired, use this convenient design with other doors.

In any case, I want the quality of the purchased parts to be as good as the original. The Metallist plant offers products of its own production, manufactured according to modern European standards. Focusing on advanced technologies, we do not forget about time-tested materials, and therefore the result is durable and reliable.

Unlike European factories, we do not include long-distance transportation in the cost of the finished product, which means that their price compares favorably. At the same time, our products are not inferior in quality, because manufacturing technologies and durable materials are available to us in combination with many years of experience in the production of such fasteners. So our products are different:

• high quality;
• long service life;
• a wide range and availability of all standard sizes;
• attractive cost;
• the possibility of fast delivery due to the availability of finished products in stock.

Considering that we work without intermediaries, the Finnish door hinge is available from us at low prices and on favorable terms. We provide each customer with an individual approach to ensure the most convenient conditions that meet your needs.

Reliable hinges are easy to install and have an excellent appearance that does not interfere with the aesthetics of the doors. Therefore, they can be used for original structures of any type, whether they are doors made of natural wood or lighter and more affordable materials.
