Do-it-yourself step-by-step instructions to put an interior door. How to make a wooden door with your own hands - a step-by-step guide

Wanting to install an interior door with their own hands, many overestimate their strength. Without the necessary tools and certain skills in working with the material, you can hopelessly ruin an expensive product. If a decision is made, you must first familiarize yourself with the installation rules and scrupulously follow the recommendations of professionals.

Do-it-yourself installation of interior doors: step-by-step instructions

The process of self-installing doors between rooms begins with the implementation of certain actions. Let's describe step by step the stages of the work performed:

  1. Remove the old door from its hinges, then tear off the cash. You can use a hammer and a wide chisel or a small hatchet for this. Using a bent crowbar, you should dismantle the old box.
  2. Then you need to prepare an opening for the door to be installed. If its dimensions fit, everything remains as it was. If it is necessary to enlarge the opening, a puncher should be used. The width of the opening must exceed the dimensions of the door leaf by 10 cm, and the height by 5 cm.
  3. Use a clean, level surface to fit the box. First, the upper horizontal part is fitted. You can calculate its length by adding to the width of the doors twice the thickness of the vertical frame pillars and 6 mm as the required gap to ensure the free movement of the door leaf. Then you need to adjust the height of the uprights. It should be borne in mind that for a door without a threshold, the length should be increased by 10 mm. Another 3 mm must be left in the upper gap.
  1. After that, they begin to cut into the canvas and the hinge box. To do this, grooves must be hollowed out at a distance of 200 mm from the edges of the canvas. The inset of the loops begins with their attachment to the canvas to mark the boundaries of the recesses. The work must be done with a milling cutter or chisel. It is advisable to treat the resulting grooves with varnish, otherwise the tree will dry out over time. Then it is required to put a loop in the prepared bed and outline the places for fastening the screws. It is best to pre-drill them using a drill bit of a slightly smaller diameter than the thickness of the screw. After that, you can screw the hinges with screws, while fastening their halves with a ledge to the box, and those with a hole to the door.
  2. Now you can finally assemble the box by connecting its parts at an angle of 45 °. You can fasten the box with self-tapping screws.
  3. Lift the box carefully and begin installing it inside the opening. Carefully check with the level the verticality of the product, the perpendicularity of its components and the horizontalness of the bar from above. The gaps formed in the opening should be eliminated using wooden wedges, and then polyurethane foam.
  4. After installing the box, it is imperative to fix it with dowels.

Here are the steps to follow. The video "How to install an interior door with your own hands" will help you finally understand all the details:

Installation of sliding interior doors


There are many different options for sliding doors. They differ in material, appearance, and other characteristics, although the principle of operation and design remain unchanged. Any such system has a canvas, rollers and guides.

Important: Do-it-yourself installation of sliding interior doors is carried out in different ways, it all depends on the purpose for which the sliding door is mounted. It is usually installed to save space, since it frees up the space that is needed to open the swing door.

Schematically, the installation of the structure is divided into the following stages:

  1. Installation of guides.
  2. Fastening holders and accessories to the door leaf.
  3. Installation of doors.
  4. Installation of door closers and limiters.
  5. Fastening of extensions and platbands.
  6. Final adjustment.

A detailed installation of sliding interior doors with your own hands is shown in the video:

Installation of interior doors with extensions

If the thickness of the existing opening exceeds the width of the box, then to add aesthetics, you have to use extensions, fixing them directly to the block. The advantage of such components is the uniformity of all structural elements, quick installation. Before fastening, it is necessary to determine the dimensions of the extensions. To do this, measure the required width of the strip by inserting a box into the opening and measuring the open width of the opening.

Important: Doors can be cut to size with a circular saw.

To fix the add-on, it is necessary to screw the mounting strips on the back of it and connect them to the box.

It is enough to use three fasteners on each element. Then you should install a box with an extension in the opening and fix it. After that, you need to go through all the cracks with professional foam.

Two ways to install do-it-yourself interior door accessories on video:

Installation of butterfly hinges


Overhead loops, referred to as "Butterflies"- do not need a tie-in, they are easy to install. It is enough just to attach the product to the door end and to the box, fasten it with self-tapping screws so that the door is ready for use.

Let's take a closer look at this process:

  • We apply a hinge to the door end, keeping a distance of 20 cm from the edge.
  • We mark with an awl the points where it is required to make holes for self-tapping screws.
  • The inside of the hinge is attached to the door and the outside to the frame.
  • We drill according to the hole marks.
  • We fasten the hinges.

Installing the lock and handles in the door leaf


To install a lock in an interior door with your own hands, you should follow these procedures:

  • Measure 90 cm from the floor, attach the lock case to the obtained point.
  • Mark the place where the handles will be attached.
  • Drill a through hole in the place where the handles are attached.
  • Mark the boundaries of the lock mechanism niche on the door end, then drill a recess under it with a feather drill.
  • Check the depth, for which insert the lock into the recess. Then make a small niche with a chisel, into which the fastening strip of the lock mechanism will enter.
  • Treat all grooves with varnish.
  • Fasten the lock with screws and attach the handles to it.
  • Embed the counterpart of the lock mechanism in the same way.

Fasteners for cash holders

The installation work on the installation of doors between the rooms is being completed with fasteners for cash-boxes. This process is straightforward.

Until recently, installing interior doors with your own hands was a rather difficult task and required serious experience and skills from a person. Now everything has become much easier, having a good tool and knowing the procedure for installing interior doors, any home craftsman is able to complete the work in a day. Next, we will analyze step by step how to properly install an interior door in two ways.

Variants of canvases for interior doors.

Before you put an interior door, you must first select it. When choosing, there are 2 main criteria - this is the size of the structure and the material from which the doors and the frame are actually made.

Material selection

It is not so important to install an interior door in a wooden house or in a room in an urban high-rise building, the design should be not only beautiful, but also reliable, and this primarily depends on the material.

Fiberboard is perhaps the most common option. The structure is a hollow box on both sides closed with thin sheets of fiberboard and based on a frame made of wooden blocks.

You should not rush to install such a door, it is certainly light and cheap, and it may look pretty decent, but not everything is in order with reliability, such a structure can even be broken with a fist, plus it is highly likely that in a couple of years it will begin to exfoliate.

MDF is the golden mean between cheap fiberboard and good wood construction. The array is dense, durable, and most importantly completely environmentally friendly. Self-assembly of interroom laminated MDF sheets at home is an excellent way out if there is no money for installers, but you want a beautiful door.

The MDF canvas should be laminated with high quality, then it will not visually differ from the wooden one.

Natural wood - it is traditionally considered that the installation of wooden doors is the best option, but this is wrong, here you need to look at the quality and the manufacturer's firm. Believe me, sometimes it is better to insert interior doors from good MDF laminate rather than take a raw pine tree, which in six months will lead.

When buying wooden canvases, you need to carefully evaluate the quality of the wood.

If you decide to change the interior doors and you have a high-quality wooden loot, then it is not necessary to touch it, you can only replace the canvas. In this case, the technology for installing interior doors will be much easier.

GOSTs, tolerances and unclear issues

The size of the doorway for installation is perhaps the most important of the initial parameters. To this day, all such designs are made according to Soviet GOSTs, by the way, the Chinese are also guided by these dimensions, but in Europe, despite the supposedly uniform standard, many countries do it in their own way.

So if our minimum width of the canvas starts from 600 mm and further with a step of 100 mm, it reaches 900 mm, then France produces canvases starting from 690 mm, but the graduation also goes with a step of 100 mm.

Germany, Spain and Italy, as well as all countries of the former socialist camp, in this respect are guided by practically the same standards as our manufacturers.

Interior doors have clear standards that you need to check before you install the interior door yourself.

As for the tolerances, a gap of 3 mm is left between the box and the web itself on the sides and top. According to the rules, at least 20 mm must be made between the floor and the canvas. This gap is needed for normal ventilation in the apartment.

Along the perimeter of the box in block buildings, you can leave any gap, up to a few millimeters, the main thing is that the box becomes even, but if we cut the doors in a wooden house with our own hands, then we set the tolerance at least 15 mm, it is needed in case the house gives shrinkage.

When an interior door is selected, the installation is already the last stage, before that you need to read the description in detail, because the price may be indicated depending on the configuration, there are 3 options here:

  1. Only a door leaf is sold - this option is good if the door is planned to be installed on an old frame;
  2. The canvas is sold together with the box, but the box is disassembled, here, even before installing the interior door with your own hands, you will have to cut it to size and assemble the box, which in most cases is even good;
  3. Fully assembled blocks with a ready-made box, curtain, locks and hinges are installed only if preparation of the opening is not required. There it is enough to cut the racks in height and install the interior door yourself.

Do not forget that it is not enough just to install interior doors in the opening, the complete installation of an interior door provides for the arrangement of platbands, accessories (if necessary) and fittings, so it is also advisable to take them right away, otherwise the shade may not be suitable later.

Installation of interior doors will not be complete without platbands and fittings.

There is another important question - when to install interior doors during renovation? So, the instructions for installing interior doors say that such structures are mounted at the very end of the repair, after finishing the walls, floor and ceiling, but before installing the floor plinths.

Two mounting options

We figured out the tolerances, dimensions and other pressing issues, now it's time to find out how to install the interior door yourself. But in order to assemble and install a structure, we need a tool.

A few words about the tool and related material

To install interior doors, we need:

  • A hacksaw for wood, but ideally it is better to have a miter saw, it does not leave chips, plus there you can set the exact cutting angle;
  • To expose the openings between the box and the wall, wedges are required;
  • A hammer;
  • Chisel;
  • Screwdriver;
  • Electric drill;
  • Plumb line;
  • Level;
  • Pencil;
  • Roulette.

It is not realistic to install an interior door yourself without a good tool.

Important! Safety regulations categorically prohibit cutting wood with a grinder. If your health is dear to you, do not even think about it.

Of the auxiliary materials for the installation of doors you will need:

  • Polyurethane foam;
  • Masking tape;
  • Self-tapping screws of different sizes and sections;
  • Anchor bolts with dowels.

Opening preparation

Ideally, before installing the interior door, the edges of the walls should be, if not plastered, then at least leveled with a cement-sand mortar.

But in real conditions, the preparation of the doorway for the installation of the interior door ends when the dimensions are adjusted to the box, because then the impartial cracks will be foamed and covered with platbands, so there is no point in creating special beauty.

It is advisable to align the doorway before installing the box.

There is one important point here: often the installation of a double interior door requires the expansion of the opening, and so, when it comes to the walls, they can be "redrawn" as you see fit. But if the wall is load-bearing, then a slight expansion of no more than 5 - 7 cm is allowed, otherwise there may be problems, both with the wall and with the law.

Assembling the box

Do-it-yourself door frame can be assembled in two ways - this is with trimming the corners of the upper bar at 45º and joining the slats at right angles. Both are fine, but a 45º corner dock is believed to look more elegant.

A really high-quality corner trimming can be done only with the help of trimming, if you are assured that an ordinary plastic miter box and a hacksaw for wood are suitable for this, do not believe it, you can ruin the boxes that were made.

The vertical posts are cut off at 45º first, after which you can proceed to trimming the upper horizontal plank. In order to set aside 3 mm, it is convenient to use a piece of fiberboard as a template.

We measure the gap relative to the top bar with a template.

  • You put the top bar cut on one side and move it along the cut of the template;
  • Then go to the opposite side of the door and, applying the same template, mark the cutting line.

Trimming the top plank at an angle using a bevelling.

Now we lay out the finished, trimmed box strips on the floor and once again control the dimensions.

It looks like a door frame cut at an angle.

  • The box is fastened in stages. First, you need to tightly connect the planks to each other as they should be;
  • When screwing in the self-tapping screws, the strips of the box can crack, so that this does not happen, before assembling, we need to drill channels for the screws. This is done with a 2.5 mm drill (our self-tapping screw is 3.5 mm);

Preparation for fastening the box.

  • Now you can screw the self-tapping screws into the ends of the box on both sides, and on each side of the corner there should be 2 self-tapping screws.

There is a small nuance here, the vertical bar of the box to which the hinges will be attached completely from both sides do not need to be tightened, we still have to remove it.

Fixing the box with an angle cut.

If you do not have a miter saw in your arsenal, then it is better to fasten the box strips at a right angle. Perhaps it is not so aesthetically pleasing, but the step-by-step instructions will be somewhat simpler.

We start by trying on the upper cross member, we will cut it between the two side posts. Some craftsmen mount the crossbar above the side posts, there is not much difference, here it is already as convenient for anyone.

Along the perimeter of the box, we have a side, into which the door leaf lies when closing. To embed the upper cross member, we need to remove this side on the side racks. To do this, we apply the upper crossbar to the rack, mark and cut the side with a hacksaw, clean the place for the installation.

Now we only need to insert the upper bar between the two side posts, drill holes for a pair of self-tapping screws and fix the inserted bar with self-tapping screws.

If you decide to put the bar on top of the racks, then there you will need to cut the inner side on the upper bar, then drill and drive the screws from above, as shown in the diagram below.

Do-it-yourself installation of the bar set on top.

Installing hinges and handles

For a door, installing hinges is one of the most important steps. In principle, you can embed the lock and hang the hinges even after installing the box in the opening, but if you mount the doors yourself (without helpers), then it is better to do this right away.

Hinges are overhead and hidden. It is easier to work with overhead butterfly hinges, since you do not need to cut anything in the door leaf and frame, so we will start with them.

A little advice: if the door should open to the right side, then you insert the hinges on the right, respectively, for left-side opening, the hinges must be attached to the left pillar.

The installation of loops begins with a marking on the canvas itself. According to the rules, the distance from the upper or lower point of the canvas to the loop should be 200 - 250 mm. You can measure with a tape measure, as in the photo below, but if the tape measure is not at hand, then use the loops themselves, where the standard size is 100 mm.

We make markings for the installation of loops.

Do not confuse: the small (inner) part of the butterfly hinge is attached to the door leaf, and the large part, to the rack of the box. Before screwing in the screws, you need to drill holes for them, only after that the screws are driven.

All hinges have sweats for the heads of the screws, so make sure that these sweats "look" up. If the hinges are installed the other way around, then the heads of the screws will remain above the hinges, respectively, the doors will not close to the end.

We drill holes for butterfly hinges.

The box is practically assembled, now we put it on the floor and put the door leaf inside. As you remember, we should have 3 mm around the perimeter of the canvas, so we immediately insert as many homemade templates from fiberboard (3 mm thickness) between the box and the canvas.

One part of the loop is screwed to the canvas, in order to fasten the second part of the loop to the box, we make a mark on the box. Then we unscrew the self-tapping screws fixing the supporting vertical bar and fasten the counterpart of the hinges to it. Then we return the box bar to its place and fix it completely.

We fasten the hinges to the vertical rack of the box.

Self-installation of secret loops is not much more difficult than the above method. The difference is that grooves for the hinges must be cut in the door leaf and the frame. This is done with a mallet, chisel and knife.

Cut out grooves for the installation of hidden hinges

As for the installation of the door handle, you can read about this in detail, as well as watch the video in this article. And do not forget that the hinges must be greased, you can learn about the rules for greasing.

There are different methods of installing interior doors in a wall opening, it all depends on the specific conditions. Next, we will consider the most simple and popular options.

Method number 1. Classic

At the moment, our box racks must be cut to the height of the opening, the hinges and the lock are embedded, the door is closed, and templates with a thickness of 3 mm are inserted between the canvas and the box.

When the door block is inserted into the opening, first of all, wooden or plastic wedges are driven around the perimeter, they will hold the block until it is finally fixed.

The classic scheme for installing interior doors using wedges.

Fixation is quite a crucial moment, here we set the block vertically and horizontally. Keep in mind: the wall is not always strictly vertical, so check the box with a plumb line.

It is better to check the vertical by a plumb line.

In order for the door block not to fall out from a strong push, it must be rigidly fixed with anchor bolts or at least with long self-tapping screws. We recommend using anchor bolts with a thickness of 6 - 8 mm.

The principle is simple:

  • Drill a through hole in the box and slightly drill into the wall;
  • Remove the door block and drill holes for dowels at the points of drilling;
  • Put the box in place and fix it with anchors. The box should be clearly in level, since before that we have already verified everything.

If you fix the box with long self-tapping screws, then they are installed around the entire perimeter with an interval of half a meter, but the caps of the self-tapping screws need to be hidden somehow. You can close them with a decorative strip or plastic overlays.

Anchor bolts are powerful and 3 points are enough to fix the box - two points under the hinges and one under the lock plate. In combination with polyurethane foam, this is enough.

Now we fill the perimeter of the box with polyurethane foam. We move from the bottom up, the foam needs to be blown out without fanaticism, because when expanding, it can squeeze out the door frame.

Plus, at the time of blowing out the foam, the door block must be assembled and three millimeter templates must be inserted along the perimeter, this will protect the box from deformation.

Remember: the door block cannot be attached only to "bare" foam (without self-tapping screws or anchors).

Method number 2. Metal hangers

If fastening the box on self-tapping screws or anchors does not suit you, the same can be done using metal hangers. These hangers are used for mounting frames for drywall.

Using hangers to fix the door frame.

The technology is similar:

  1. Collect the box;
  2. Insert the box into the opening and level it;
  3. Fix the box with wedges in the opening;

  1. Bend the wings of the hangers along the wall;
  2. Mark the entry points for the dowel-nails and drill holes for them;
  3. Attach the wings of the suspensions to the walls with dowel-nails;
  4. Fill with foam and wait until it hardens.

The size of the box for double-leaf interior doors is twice as large, respectively, there is a greater likelihood of extrusion of the pillars and crossbar with foam, therefore, installation on hangers is optimal here.

Fixing the frame for double doors with hangers.

Conclusion

Both of the above methods have been tested in practice and work perfectly. We have prepared step-by-step instructions for the same craftsmen who wish to install interior sliding doors.

Installing interior doors with your own hands is not as difficult as it seems.

The quality of the offered interior doors, which can be purchased in most hardware stores, cannot always satisfy buyers. They can be beautiful, attractive, but the strength and durability of these products leaves much to be desired. Therefore, many home craftsmen have no choice but to make interior doors with their own hands. Moreover, there are no big difficulties in this, if you select the material and follow a certain plan.

Materials for making canvas

Before starting work on the independent manufacture of an interior door, you need to prepare the material. In most cases, a tree is used for this purpose. The frame of the leaf, as well as the door frame, are made from it. In addition to wood, can be used:

  • Styrofoam;
  • Cardboard honeycomb;
  • Glass;

Styrofoam and cardboard honeycombs are used as door leaf filler, it is not made of solid wood... These materials are lightweight, which is important for subsequent use. In addition, the foam can reduce the noise level by making the canvas more sound absorbing.

The use of glass for the manufacture of interior doors is primarily due to the aesthetic side.... Such inserts visually expand the room, and also allow you to diversify the design of the room. Glass has one more property. It perfectly lets in daylight. Therefore, with glazed interior linens in the corridors of the apartment, it will be much lighter, even if the door is closed.

Fiberboard or its more advanced version of MDF is used as a cladding material... In the construction of the canvas, these materials are responsible for the decorative finish of the future product. At the same time, MDF is a finishing element, but fiberboard will have to be additionally processed to give it an attractive appearance.

In addition to the listed materials, sheets of laminated chipboard can be used as cladding. The wide range of colors imitating natural wood makes this type of finish very popular. It should be noted that the use of chipboard will give the doors more rigidity in the diagonals.

As a fastening material, you can use PVA glue or confirmations. To cover the finished canvas, you will need varnish. If you need to add color, then the problem is solved thanks to stains and tinted varnishes.

Required tool

The next stage of preparation will be the preparation of the tool that will be needed to make an interior door. You must have at hand:

  • Manual or electric plane;
  • A hacksaw or electric jigsaw;
  • A set of chisels and chisels;
  • Manual electric router;
  • Grinding machine;
  • Miter box;
  • Square and ruler;
  • Hammer and mallet;
  • Pencil and tape measure.

With such a set, you can safely start making any joinery. You should also prepare a vacuum cleaner in order to quickly remove not only sawdust, but also dust, which should not be on the surface of the product during paintwork.

Manufacturing and assembly

When the preparation ends, then the turn comes to the main work. You will need to follow these steps step by step:

  • Take measurements;
  • Process the material;
  • Perform markup;
  • Saw down and assemble the frame of the canvas;
  • Install fittings.

In order for the work to proceed quickly, and the product turned out to be of high quality, it is worth preparing a drawing. Thanks to him, it is easy to markup and not to be mistaken with the configuration of the future door.


Panel door assembly principle

Measurement of the canvas

Work should start by measuring the doorway. This operation will allow you to calculate the dimensions of the box and canvas, as well as to determine the configuration of the future product. If the opening does not exceed 80 cm, then a single-leaf door block should be made. With a larger size, two canvases need to be made in order to reduce the load on the hinges and give a more attractive appearance to the entire product.

The resulting size must be reduced in height and width by 2 cm. This is required to create an assembly seam obtained between the frame of the box and the slope of the opening. Once installed, it is filled with polyurethane foam. Using the dimensions obtained, a drawing is drawn up, according to which you need to make an interior door.


Door leaf dimensions

A similar guideline should also include the dimensions of the door leaf. To calculate them, subtract the thickness of the box beam from the width and height of the opening in the place where the quarter will be selected. From the resulting size, it is necessary to subtract another 4 mm in width and from 4 to 12 mm in height. These values ​​correspond to the gap that must remain for the free rebate of the door leaf. This defines all the data for the drawing.

It should be noted that the box beam does not have to be made for the entire thickness of the wall. The remaining space can easily cover the extension installed after installation work.

Making door trim

As soon as the dimensional drawing is completely ready, you can proceed to the next stage of work. At this stage, the material should be processed and the frame of the door leaf should be prepared. To do this, use a plane.


For the frame of the door leaf, you need to use planed boards

For the frame, you can take a 40 x 100 mm edged board. The ideal option would be to purchase planed material, which will facilitate the work and significantly speed it up. But you can also use just sawn boards. They will have to be processed with a plane to give smoothness. During planing, you should carefully monitor the corners of the bars. They must have a strict 90 degree angle. You can check the work using a square.


Connection diagram of the frame elements

Next, the parts are marked according to the dimensions indicated in the drawing. On them you will need to saw off the blanks. If the parts are to be fixed with tenons, then all horizontal parts of the frame will be longer by the size of two tenons. For example, for bars 100 mm wide, a spike with a length of 70 mm is required for the connection. In this case, 140 mm should be added to the size of the workpiece, which means two spikes on both sides of the part.

During processing, it is necessary to select a groove or a quarter in the sides of the workpieces. This is necessary for installing glass or inserting panels, if solid wood was chosen as the option for making the door. This work can be done using a handheld electric router. A milling cutter of the corresponding profile is inserted into the tool and the selection is made on the side indicated in the diagram.


A groove in the workpieces is cut with a router

Details for the door frame should contain a quarter, thanks to which the canvas can cover the opening. It is also done with a milling cutter, setting the depth and width of the sample. The quarter size should be based on the thickness of the door leaf. You need to add 1 mm to it for a better quality vestibule. The depth of the quarter must be at least 10 mm.

Pre-assembly of the canvas

When the frame parts are processed and the places for fasteners are filed down, a preliminary assembly of the interior door leaf can be done with your own hands. This operation will allow you to check the correctness of the markup and filing of all elements. Assemble the structure dry, which means without the use of glue. If the type of connection for confirmation was chosen, then they will just need to be made without performing a tight twist.

When all the parts are assembled and fastened, check the width and length of the door leaf. If deviations from the drawing are found, then it is necessary to adjust the parts. After finishing, the product is reassembled and inspected. If all parameters are met, you can proceed to the next stage.

Marking and execution of cuts

Separately, mention should be made of the marking of parts and the execution of cuts. This is a step-by-step process, where an error can result in reworking the entire product and damaged material. Therefore, all lines drawn with a pencil should be drawn only after checking the size. Yes, and the very markup before starting filing should be checked against the drawing.


When marking, you should strictly adhere to the dimensions

When marking, you can add 1 mm for the fit. In this case, even with uneven sawing of the workpiece, it will be possible to painlessly fix it. If everything works out the first time, then the extra millimeter can simply be removed with a plane. To transfer the drawn line to the other side of the bar, you should take a square and attach it directly to this point. Since the part has an even angle of 90 degrees, the lines on all sides will exactly repeat the markings made at the very beginning.

If spikes and lugs are selected as the connection, then you will have to make a complete marking of these elements. The place for the nest should be located strictly in the center.... To calculate this data, you just need to divide the thickness of the bar by 2, and then mark the resulting number from any plane of the part. The size of the spike itself should be equal to 1/3 of the thickness of the workpiece. The nest may be half a millimeter narrower in width than the spike.

The eyelet should be carefully drilled out strictly according to the markings made, and then cleaned up with a chisel. It is impossible to protrude beyond the edges of the lines, otherwise the connection will be weakened, and the structure will turn out to be fragile. According to the instructions, it is necessary to accurately fit the spike connection, therefore, it is imperative to leave a half-millimeter stock.

Blade assembly and fittings insertion

When all connections are checked, and the dimensions exactly converge with those indicated in the drawing, the assembly of the door leaf begins. With a tenon connection, it is required to glue the plane of the tenons and the inner surface of the nests with glue. After that, the parts are inserted into each other, followed by tamping with a mallet. If this procedure is performed with a hammer, then place a small piece of wood on the surface to be hit. In this way, damage to the assembled product can be avoided.

After assembling all the parts, there should be no gaps at the joints. If they are, then you should once again knock out this place. The ideal option would be to tighten the canvas with clamps. If they are absent, you can install a metal corner on the board, measure the width of the canvas from it, add 3-4 cm to this size and fix another corner. You need three boards on which the door fits. A wedge is inserted into the gap between the bar of the canvas and the corner and knocked out until the cracks disappear completely.


The door is assembled until the cracks disappear.

When the door is assembled, a cladding is attached to its surface. First, the sheets are cut to the size of the frame and then laid on it. Fastening is done with glue. Additionally, nails can be used. This operation must be carried out carefully and carefully so as not to damage the surface of the cladding, especially if it has a topcoat.

Before laying the second sheet on the back of the interior door, the filler is installed. To do this, the foam or cardboard honeycomb is cut to the size of the free internal space between the parts of the canvas. A snug fit will ensure the integrity of the future door. Next, the second cladding sheet is laid and the canvas gets a finished look.


In order for the door to open, hinges must be installed. They are located at a distance of 20 cm from the edges of the door. Marking is done with a finely sharpened pencil. The nest must be selected with a chisel strictly along the inner part of the line, without protruding beyond its limits. The hinges in the seats must sit without gaps... When the socket is ready and checked, the part is fastened using self-tapping screws or the screws included in the kit. Read more about this in the article "Installing hinges on the door".


The door hinges are fixed with self-tapping screws or screws

Another element of the interior door is the handle. A lock is often inserted into it, which makes it possible to lock the room if necessary.


The hole for the lock is made with a drill

The center of the handle should be 1 meter from the floor... A through hole for the lock is drilled with a drill. The seat is also cleaned with a chisel. After the insert of the lock is completed, there should be no gaps. Read more about installing a handle in an interior door.

Installation of glass in the opening

If the interior door assumes the presence of glazing, then it is necessary to prepare a glass cutter and select the desired type of glass. This element is inserted into the quarter, which is selected around the entire inner perimeter of the door. The glass is cut 2 mm less than the size of its installation space.


Glass cutting is performed with a glass cutter

If, after working with a glass cutter, the sheet has irregularities, they must be removed. You can use pliers for this. With a large residue (from 2 mm), another cutting line should be drawn. This will make it easier and better to remove the excess. When the procedure is completed, you need to sand the edges of the glass with sandpaper.

Next, the glass is installed in a quarter of the door. Fastening is done with a decorative layout, which is nailed down with small nails. This makes it possible to carry out a quick repair if the installed glass is damaged.

Interior door finishing

The assembled door, if it is not sheathed with laminated chipboard, needs finishing work. They can be of the following types:

  • Coloring;
  • Toning;
  • Lamination.

Depending on the type of finish chosen, appropriate operations are required.

Dyeing

Before painting the surface of the door leaf, it is necessary to prepare it. And the first thing to do is to completely grind. An electric sander is ideal for this purpose. The tape for it must be taken not too abrasive so that small scratches do not remain on the surface. Work is required in the direction of fiber growth. Perpendicular grinding is allowed only when it is necessary to level the surface and as a rough one.


Before painting the door, its surface must be sanded

If there are chips or dents on the door, they should be putty. The color of the putty needs to be matched to the shade of the wood from which the canvas is made... So, with subsequent painting, this place will not stand out against the general background. After applying the putty, let it dry and sand again.


Defects in the wooden surface are eliminated with a putty

Next, you need to clean the surface of dust and only then start painting. To apply the material, use brushes, rollers or spray guns. The latter option allows you to get the job done quickly and with the lowest paint consumption. During painting, there should be no drips on the surface. They need to be removed. To get a quality painted door, you need to apply two or three coats of paint.


It is necessary to paint the door in 3 layers

Toning

Unlike painting, tinting doors involves the subsequent application of varnish. On the prepared surface, you need to apply a tinting material, which can serve as:

  • Stain;
  • Mordant;
  • Acrylic paint.

Any of the material types will give the wood a new color, leaving the texture open. The stain is applied with a brush, roller or spray gun. If necessary, the procedure is repeated after the material has completely dried.


Stains, stains or paints are used as a toning material.

When the desired shade is achieved, the canvas is varnished. To achieve a glossy finish, apply more than three coats. Moreover, each stage involves grinding with a fine emery belt. This will remove the raised pile and make the surface smooth.

Lamination

An alternative to paints and varnishes is the use of films and veneers. The gluing of these materials is called lamination. For home production, cold gluing is the best option..

The surface of the interior door must be prepared in the same way as in the case of painting or tinting. The film or veneer is cut to the size of the door leaf, making an allowance of up to 3 cm. Further, starting from one edge, the material is glued. If a self-adhesive film is used, then the protective paper is gradually removed from it as it is glued to the surface of the door.


Self-adhesive film is used for door lamination

The veneer is applied to the glue with which the canvas is preliminarily lubricated. Smooth the material from the middle to the edges. This will make it easier to remove air trapped under it. If the bubble cannot be expelled, then it can be carefully pierced with a needle. This place must be pressed firmly so that the adhesive layer can connect the surface of the door and veneer. Excess material at the edges is carefully trimmed with a knife.


Excess film is removed with a knife

On the market, entrance doors are presented in a huge assortment, but it is rather difficult to acquire high-quality interior doors. In most cases, the offer is limited to synthetic products. They are attractive in appearance, but the quality, and often environmental friendliness, leaves much to be desired. A custom-made master can assemble a wooden interior door, but the cost is impressive.

For these reasons, some people are wondering: is it possible to make with your own hands without special qualifications? If a number of conditions are met, then the matter is quite real, even for a beginner.

Varieties - which option should you choose?

The main material for the manufacture of interior doors is wood and synthetics, which can replace it. Metal locks, hinges and handles. Sometimes glass is used as a decorative insert. On the basis it is fixed in grooves or fixed with glazing beads. A wooden product is usually coated with paint, varnish. Decorative processing with special foil or veneer is also used.

In terms of structure and perfection, the most common type of interior doors is with panels. The manufacturing technology is similar to a designer: a frame is made from a thick array, and thin inserts are mounted in the middle. They are installed in grooves made in the sidewalls and crossbars of the door leaf. Panels have a different look - it all depends on the skill and preferences of the manufacturer.

Such structures have good sound insulation and low weight. The device is quite complicated, making an interior door with panels without sufficient experience in carpentry is very problematic, even if you thoroughly study all the instructions. A beginner should not opt ​​for a paneled door. There are other types, simpler to manufacture, which, subject to technology, are no worse.

This type includes panel doors with a frame sheathed with plywood or MDF on both sides. The space between them is filled with glass wool, foam, shavings, or left empty. The design has important advantages:

  • high quality with ease of manufacture;
  • cost savings;
  • universal purpose - it is equally well installed at the entrance to any room.

Most of the doors in apartments are swing doors that open to the side. They consist of two valves, usually equal in size, or only one. Less often, some part is done more, the other - already. There are few installation options: the structure opens to the left or right. With limited space, this property turns into a disadvantage, since a lot of usable space is taken away.

For such cases, a pendulum version is used, when the door opens in both directions. This is a purely technical solution that can be used with any design. Despite all the advantages and conveniences that this method provides, it has not received widespread acceptance. Among the owners of living space, the leader is the traditional swing door and, as an alternative to it, the sliding door.

It opens like a door to a compartment. The canvas moves along special guides and goes behind the wall or hides inside an equipped pencil case. The last option is especially effective. In many cases, this design serves as a sliding partition. It is used for zoning space, when part of the room needs to be separated, and, if necessary, combined again.

Tools for work and materials

Previously, craftsmen worked on the door for several days. At their disposal were hacksaws, planes, chisels, which were driven exclusively by muscles. Now they are replaced with electrical tools that significantly reduce the time and effort spent making a structure at home. They, plus quality material, are half the battle, and the other is skill and diligence.

Basic operations of a hand router

To make an interior door with your own hands, you will need to have at your disposal:

  1. 1. Manual milling machine. It is necessary to give a profile look to the door components. With its help, groove joints are also made.
  2. 2. Portable or stationary circular saw. Serves to perform important work - cutting boards. If they cope across with a hacksaw, then along is problematic.
  3. 3. Grinder with a grinding wheel. You can put the attachment on the drill, but the work is less effective in this case. The purpose is to bring the tree to perfect condition.
  4. 4. Screwdriver - helps to connect the parts of the door leaf. In the absence of such a tool, a screwdriver is used, but it will take a lot of work with it.
  5. 5. Various little things like a mallet, hammer, chisel, corner. You will need a measuring set: tape measure, ruler, cord, pencil.

Little materials are required. The main one is dry boards 40 × 100 (150) mm. For a double-leaf door frame, a maximum of 6 meters is required. If the inserts are also made of this material - more. The length is taken with a margin - something will be spent on trimming the ends. Instead of wood, laminated chipboard is often used for panels.

For the panel door, in addition to boards, other materials are used. Polyfoam or cardboard honeycombs are used as door leaf filler. They are lightweight, which is important during operation. The noise level is reduced, sounds are absorbed. Thermal insulation properties also increase, but this does not play a significant role for interior structures. Watch the video about its manufacture.

To make a sliding sliding door, use plasterboard with a thickness of 9.5 or 12.5 mm. Manufacturing is simple:

  • mount a frame made of a metal profile 50 × 25 mm;
  • sewn on both sides with gypsum boards;
  • primer and sand the surface;
  • finish with painting, wallpaper, tiles, plaster.

Fiberboard is used for cladding. The material is a decorative coating, but looks unattractive by itself. Additional finishing with paints and varnishes or special films is required. They immediately carry out the functions of the finishing element of the MDF panel; plywood will have to be slightly modified.

Chipboard sheets are also used as cladding. Their surface is distinguished by a rich selection of colors, imitation of natural wood. This material is very popular. The use of laminated chipboard strengthens the structure, it becomes more rigid.

Measurements, marking and making cuts

To determine the parameters of the door frame and door leaf, the configuration of the product, measurements are taken. When the opening is not wider than 0.8 m, the door is single-leaf. For large dimensions, you will need to make two canvases. This will give a beautiful look, reduce the load on the hinges. For the frame, 2 cm are subtracted from the results obtained, and the gaps will be filled with cement mortar or polyurethane foam.

The dimensions of the canvas are calculated along the door frame. Measure from the selected quarters, then subtract 3 mm from the results obtained (up to 15 mm in height). This is necessary to create a gap for the door to pretend freely. The box is not necessarily made in width equal to the thickness of the wall. The bar may be narrower, the space will cover the complement.

Stages of manufacturing a paneled door

By this time, everything is already clear with the design: it will be a paneled or panel door. The latter is easier to do, some complex operations are not performed. In any case, it is required to make the strapping, and for this, mark the material and make cuts. A very careful approach is needed, because mistakes often cannot be corrected. They adhere to the law: measured, marked, checked, once again convinced of the correctness - you can cut.

When the values ​​are transferred to the board, add 1 cm to fit. If the sawing turns out to be uneven, really fix it. When the result is positive the first time, the excess is removed. To transfer the lines to the other side of the board, use a square. The angle is exactly 90 °, so the initial marking is completely repeated. It is required to cut to length the vertical profiles and cross members.

Further, if a paneled door is planned, grooves are made in these parts with a milling cutter - exactly in the middle along the entire length. Their width is equal to the thickness of the panel - usually 16 mm for a chipboard product, and the depth is 15–20 mm. For a panel structure, this stage is skipped.

The most important point is marking and cutting out the connection elements. Recommended methods for beginners: in half a tree, if the door is panel board and a thorn in the nest, when it is paneled. The second option requires particularly high accuracy. The place for the eyelet is marked exactly in the center, holes are drilled, cleaned with a chisel. The dimensions are 0.5 mm smaller than the spike dimensions. For him, the thickness is ⅓ of the board, and the length is the entire width of the rack.

The sequence of making connections

To make the corner connection of the panel door trim, align the ends of the parts. On the upper side of one, a line is drawn perpendicular to the edges, retreating to the width of the second. They repeat the same thing with her. With a gage, mark half the thickness, sawn off across, then carefully along or remove the excess with a chisel.

Half-tree connection

It is more difficult with a paneled door: vertical profiles are cut from the groove at an angle of 45 ° using a profile cutter or a planer. On the crossbars, in order to make the thorns, a mating cut is also made inward at 45 °. This operation is difficult for novice craftsmen, but it gives a more beautiful look. A possible lightweight option is that the bevels on the boards are not performed; instead of them, curly glazing beads are placed on both sides of the panels. How to make a paneled door - watch the video.

Assembling and decorating the door structure

When all the details are ready, pre-assembly is carried out. This means that they are connected dry without glue, and if confirms are used, then they are only baited, but not tightened. Check the parameters of the canvas, if necessary, make a fit. When everything fits together, they begin to assemble the door. Spikes and nests are coated with adhesive, inserted into one another, knocking out with a mallet.

A clamp is used to seal the joints

There should be no gaps at the joints. If available, tighten more. The ideal device in this case is the clamps. These are special carpentry clamps for adjusting the door structure. If they are not there, you can do it yourself. A metal corner is installed on a flat surface, parallel to it at a distance that is greater than the width of the canvas - another. A canvas is laid between them to fit the joints, wedges are knocked out.

The cladding is attached to the assembled panel door frame. The sheet is cut to size and placed on the frame. For connection, glue is used, additionally nails or screws. If the material is finished, care must be taken not to damage it. The voids are tightly filled with foam or cardboard honeycombs - this will add additional strength. Close with a second sheet.

The decor of the door leaf is one of the important points, poor-quality production will negate all the efforts made. Before finishing, the surface is sanded to remove irregularities. Places with visible defects are covered with putty on wood of the appropriate shade, treated with a grinder. Move parallel to the fibers. For registration, methods are used that differ in materials and complexity of execution:

  • painting;
  • toning;
  • lamination.

Painting is carried out after thorough grinding and dust removal. The paint is applied with a brush, roller or spray. Using the latter option allows you to get the highest quality surface. There are many subtleties here, not everyone manages to work with such a tool: streaks or pimples appear. You should be able to prepare a composition of the desired consistency and use it correctly in several layers.

It is a little easier to perform toning, for which they use stain, mordant or acrylic paint. The wood takes on a new color. When the desired shade is reached, varnishing is carried out. To give the surface a gloss, 4 layers are applied. After drying, each one is sanded with fine sandpaper to remove the lint.

Lamination is called wrapping with a film or veneer. Door preparation is carried out in the same way. Cutting the material - with an allowance of 3 cm. Lay on the canvas, previously greased with glue. Smooth out from the middle, expelling the air, and if it fails, pierce the bubble with a needle. The excess is carefully trimmed with a knife.

The functional capabilities of the structure and aesthetic appeal depend on the quality of installation of interior doors: in any house or office, inspection of the premises begins from the doorways. Experienced specialists will quickly carry out measurements, suggest the most optimal options, and carry out the installation in accordance with the design features.

It is important to eliminate gaps by foaming with high-quality sealants, leveling the walls at the initial stage of installation and choosing a suitable model of domestic or foreign production.

Installation features

Installation of door frames is carried out at the final stage of the repair. After gluing the wallpaper, work is carried out to install the door frame in accordance with the technical rules and safety requirements. Installing a door in a large opening without anchors and additional elements requires a professional approach: experts recommend not to carry out this work yourself. Once upon a time, dampers were used as door structures to prevent cold air and moisture from entering the room.

Nowadays, doors serve not only as an entrance and exit area, but also as an effective addition to the interior design that can serve for many decades with proper use.

Knowledge of technology allows you to organize installation at a high technological level.

To install the structure you will need:

  • form a block and equip the canvas;
  • prepare material for use in conjunction with fittings;
  • pick up hinges (with a regular handle or with an automatic latch).

In the opening, a block is mounted on which the canvas is equipped. Experts recommend pre-adjusting the mechanism. Platbands are a great way to give a structure a stylistic completeness and constructive unity, while it is advisable to use modern materials and the latest technologies. The activities are carried out in a strict sequence: during installation, actions are coordinated in accordance with building codes.

Plastic and metal-plastic installations are realized in a complementary form, prepared for the fastening process. The frame is a collection of wooden blocks of different parameters, door leaves and special parts (strips) for platbands.

Collecting a box is a professional process:

  • compliance of the measures taken with the operational requirements;
  • use of proven materials and technologies;
  • use of a U-base with a threshold.

For this purpose, bars are used (rack, loop bar). A base with a threshold requires the installation of a lower material of a certain thickness, while the assembled block must have a strictly geometric configuration. The craftsmen determine the dimensions of the doors, fix the format of the racks and lintels, taking into account the voids, cut out and design special bars.

Views

The dimensions of the box material must differ from the dimensions of the canvas. Measurements are made with simple tools, most often a ruler. The measurement of the canvas is carried out along the perimeter: you should not count on an external effect, since distortions are observed during the shrinkage process. Deviations play an important role in measurements.

The sequence of work is as follows.

  • The parameters of the outer sides of the loop material are analyzed;
  • The working parameters of the lintel, mock material are measured;
  • The condition of surfaces in contact with the planes of the opening is diagnosed;
  • Provides space for gaps (within 0.2-0.4 cm).

When installing glass structures, the parameters of the decor are additionally measured, the drawing is carried out using modern methods, if provided. Installation of sliding and double door installations is carried out in accordance with the technical requirements fixed in GOST. Roller doors will require additional measures related to the selection of a suitable model, installation of a structure that meets standards and design requirements.

Hinged and sliding options are a great option for those who are used to saving space and relying on modern design. Experts will carry out preliminary measurements, select the most effective models and quickly carry out all stages of installation. At the request of the customer, installation of non-standard door structures and classic double-leaf doors is carried out.

With the help of these models, you can create an original interior design, equip any type of room (office, residential, warehouse). Subject to the installation parameters in an apartment, room or office, you can place dimensional furniture, which always looks fashionable and stylish.

Frames with a threshold acquire slotted holes along the perimeter in the plane of the door block without a threshold. Wizards will calculate points to eliminate vertical posts, provide sufficient parameters for the opening.

When arranging the box, you should pay attention to the following points.

  • Correspondence of the size ranges of the "P" configuration;
  • The quality of plasterboard materials;
  • Competent carrying out washed down the timber.

The miter saw is effective when creating cuts; a hand hacksaw or self-tapping screws are often used. When installing doors, innovative technologies are used: the method of sawing down vertical racks involves adjusting the parameters of parts and lintels, while observing strict rules, the structure is adjusted at an angle of 45 degrees.

Competent joining of parts gives the installation the required external format. The holes must be through, perpendicular to the cut.

Dimensions (edit)

When installing interior blocks, the question often arises of how to calculate swing doors for a niche. With small-sized walls, similar to the parameters of the door frame, finishing work is carried out using platbands. The formed set is installed on the sides of the box. This setting is designed to mask the foamed seam. Wooden or laminated platbands, if they are not processed, are installed using hardware, after which they resort to painting. Platbands may differ in shade from the plank, because contrasting options are always in trend.

The timber door frame is designed according to the construction requirements using cement-sand plaster. It is not recommended to install a canvas made of wood together with fiberboard boxes: different levels of moisture resistance can lead to deformation and cracking.

Structural blanks for screws in an MDF installation are made at the preparatory stage, drilling is performed with a tool with an optimal diameter. The size of the internal vertical bar level is calculated as the sum of the dimensions of the canvas (as a rule, 3 * 3 mm), if the structure is with a threshold. The ceiling piece is installed to special devices.

The use of self-tapping screws ensures high efficiency of work. The parameters are determined by indicators such as false and loop materials, the distance is determined as the sum of the parameters used for lateral voids.

The timber is made in accordance with the technical parameters at a right angle, since this is required by the arrangement of the threshold. The block is formed on a straight base (for example, on the floor).

The arrangement of door fittings must be carried out in such a way as to ensure evacuation measures. You can choose from right-hand or left-hand universal door hinges. Devices with a laminated surface are manufactured taking into account the parameters of the hinge. Usually, 20 cm is left as an indent from the top and bottom edges. The zone for installing the hinge to the box structure is determined taking into account the technological voids.

What material is better to put

Door products are represented by a wide range of models. Modern interior doors are made using MDF panels, progressive materials (WPC, eco-veneer, natural wood).

  • Fiberboard Is a great option for creating an inexpensive and effective door. The wood frame is covered with laminated fiberboard sheets. These economical structures, easy to install and compact, are popular in the construction market. Experienced specialists will help to increase the resistance of the structure to high temperatures and humidity by using special formulations.
  • MDF allows the manufacture of inexpensive and durable door blocks with optimal sound insulation performance.
  • Wood it is characterized by high strength and resistance to the influence of aggressive media and mechanical stress. The porous structure of the material ensures the creation of an optimal microclimate. Such designs are perfect for author's design, perfectly complement the classic interior, while the parameters of the interior doors must correspond to the specifics of the opening.

All-glass doors, metal-plastic structures, steel parts are non-standard products that require an individual project.

Standard door systems are placed in a solid box, the quality of which determines the durability and reliability of the entire structure.

  • Fiberboard box is a solid installation that can deform under the influence of mechanical stress.
  • Box made of wood, untreated - structures made of profiled timber. They are distinguished by their super strength and reliability. When performing the installation, you will need to use additional materials for the final finishing activities.
  • Box made of laminated materials. This installation does not require final finishing. The defining point is the nature of the lamination. The use of thin paper is not recommended, since in this case, scuffs and cracks may appear, affecting the external parameters of the product.

The doorway may be pre-treated. This determines the specificity of the opening, its parameters, and features of the interior of the room. Processing can be carried out using additional parts and platbands.

What tool is needed

Door installation requires the use of certain knowledge and technology: a vacuum cleaner and a miter saw are considered indispensable attributes of the kit. Experts recommend at the initial stage to think over a plan of measures: it will be necessary to organize the marking, cutting of hinges, arrangement of door slopes.

Manual equipment and electrical equipment are used at the main stages of work. The question of how to use the router will be answered by experienced craftsmen with many years of experience, under whose guidance all the main activities will be carried out.

With the help of a punch, the working surfaces are leveled and the opening widens. This tool allows you to make special dowel indentations. The drill helps to drill the recesses of the required parameters for the fastener. The start of work is accompanied by a check of the equipment. The tightness of the drill is very important, because the part can fly out during work and damage the working surfaces of the doors.

The screwdriver allows you to securely fix the hardware in the hinges. The jigsaw is used to process complex surfaces that are difficult to cut. The manual electric milling cutter helps to install the locking mechanism and integrate the hinges. The pencil allows you to make special marks in places that require processing. For the same purpose, a marker is used (provided that it does not leave marks on the surfaces).

A three- and five-meter tape or steel ruler, together with a checking square, ensure accurate measurements. Using a vernier caliper, the depth of the cut is measured, which is performed using a chisel.

The slope of the surfaces must be measured using a bubble level with parameters within 50 cm.Using a set of screwdrivers, hinges and awnings are attached, and locks are equipped.

The miter saw is an excellent tool for sawing structural parts - bars and platbands at an angle of 45-90 degrees. The circular saw helps to format the dimensions of the door leaf. The gun can be charged with a high quality sealant to close gaps.

What is included?

Self-tapping screws allow fixing device elements (mounting strips, hinges, platbands, locking mechanism). The kit also includes liquid and finishing nails and micro-studs, which are fixed with a pneumatic gun. With the help of these devices, the mount becomes ultra-strong and reliable. The mounting micro-stud is a compact hardware element without rivets, which provides a solid surface. You can measure the length and width using a tape measure or a metal ruler.

Interior doors are sold without fittings, which are known in domestic and foreign manufacture.

Experts will help you choose high-quality systems (hinges and locks) that are not subject to mechanical stress and corrosive deformation. By adjusting the hinges with the help of fasteners and a screwdriver while working with slopes, it ensures a high density of adhesion of the canvas to the box, while using special devices that allow you to measure parts, insert structural elements at a high professional level.

The mortar bath is made of a special material that provides an optimal mixing format for building mixtures and ease of cleaning after work. The kit includes brushes and rollers for finishing work. The grout kit provides a reference surface view of the door block.

How to install correctly: step by step instructions

Interior designs are installed from scratch using step-by-step recommendations posted on Internet portals. Experts recommend not to do events yourself if you do not have sufficient knowledge and experience.

Experienced craftsmen will tell you at what stage you should carry out the preparatory measures yourself, and at what stage the installation of the structure takes place.

  • Determine the specifics of the means and the quality of consumables for the installation of the structure.
  • Outline the installation scheme for the blocks of a double-leaf interior door with extras.
  • Carry out constructive measures to install the door frame without self-tapping screws. Hinges are attached to the door block, a cutout is organized in the structure, a strong box is assembled, after which all the elements are assembled. Metal bases must be structurally sound. The planks are fastened using self-tapping screws. The U-shaped design is the key to well-done work.

  • Mount the structure in the opening. The box is inserted into the doorway, alignment is performed. The end piece is drilled from both sides.
  • Install the door structures on the hinges. Lightweight fiberboard door allows you to carry out events on your own.
  • Stamp the seams, thereby eliminating the voids between the wall surface and the box. Complete solidification is carried out within 24 hours at room temperature.
  • Carry out finishing work. Determining the type of finish will help create an optimal design.

For a visual demonstration of the installation process, see the following video.

How to install fittings?

Experts do not recommend independently carrying out work on installing the door structure, replacing the lock and arranging thresholds, since these activities require high professionalism. Experienced craftsmen will help you purchase a set of high-strength materials, determine the order of work, install the structure correctly, insert the door frame into the opening. It is possible to assemble the structure, ensuring a high quality of assembly, with the help of special devices.

It is necessary to insert fittings elements using modern technologies and installation methods during preliminary measurements using a tape measure or ruler. High quality hardware is used as fasteners. At the initial stage, a work scheme is formed, a set of necessary tools is made, the box is inserted into the opening, and hidden hinges are installed.

Successful examples and options

Before starting the door installation activities, you need to familiarize yourself with good examples and design options. On the websites of companies engaged in licensed activities, samples of doors in a Khrushchev, a modern apartment, an equipped kitchen are presented. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to a high-quality installation, made in accordance with technical requirements: holes are neatly made in the wall, structural parts are inserted at the required angle.
