Features of the installation of swing (double-leaf, double-leaf) doors. Installation of double interior doors: the subtleties of the process

Today, double-leaf interior doors are very popular. They will perfectly transform any room in the house. It is not at all difficult to choose such a door, since their choice is very large, and there will be no problems with installation if you know all the stages of work and have minimal specific skills. In this article, we will take a closer look at all the pros and cons double leaf doors, their types and all stages of installation, after which you will be convinced that there is nothing complicated in this.

Double-leaf interior doors (advantages and disadvantages)

pros

1. The convenience of such doors is one of the important advantages. The pendulum system makes it easy to open the doors in both directions without much effort.
2. The variety of designs for this type of door is not limited.
3. Their appearance will add sophistication, hospitality and comfort to your home.
4. Selection of double-leaf doors for non-standard doorways is much easier than single-leaf doors.

Minuses

This design has no significant drawbacks, except that with small volumes of living space, it may simply not fit, and by installing it in such conditions, you can find discomfort with beauty. To solve this problem, many opt for sliding doors. This compact version for small areas the most optimal, and their mechanism for opening and closing the door is just as quiet and smooth.

Types of double doors

Before you buy double-leaf doors, you must understand what it is and what types it is.

1. The design has two principles of operation - swing and sliding.
2. Construction type: paneled glazed, paneled deaf and massive.
3. They are made of aluminum, glass, wood, plastic and MDF.

Having decided on the size of the door and design, as well as having made its purchase for a while, you can forget about it, since there is still a lot of work at home to dismantle the old door and its box. Do not forget about preparing a place for installing a new one. Concerning door frame, then here you can make it yourself or buy it. The width of the box should correspond to the width of the wall, in no case protruding beyond the limits, in the event that the box is narrower, then you can use the extras. In due course, everything also concerns the height of the box, which is equal to the height of the doorway. When buying hinges, think over which side the opening will take place, so that on finishing stage there were no difficulties.

Dismantling the old door and preparing the doorway

Initially you need to remove old door from the hinges, and only then proceed to remove the box. Using a pry bar or crowbar, carefully unfasten the box, and then clean the opening from the remaining cement. If the cement is hard and does not lend itself to easy removal and, at the same time, its surface does not interfere with the installation of a new box, then removing the previous foam can be dispensed with. The place has been prepared, and now we are focusing on the door frame, which is not necessary to buy, but you can create it yourself.

Assembly and types of door frame

The door frame is a frame made of beams, which is of two types - U-shaped and rectangular. The rectangular frame is often used for interior doors, in the bathroom and toilet, and all other options are perfect for doors without a threshold.

Door frame assembly steps:

1. Initially, before assembling the box beam, we need to adjust its dimensions to the double-leaf door.

The end result will look like this:

ШВК = 2 * (ШД + 3) +4, where

ШВК - the width of the box from the inside;

ШД - the width of the door itself.

2. After making all measurements and markings, we cut off a box block at an angle of 45 degrees, which is done with an elementary hacksaw with a fine tooth.

3 ... A further action will be to cut the hinge into the vertical part of both the frame and the door.

With a hammer with a chisel or a router, carefully make cuts into which the loop will then fit. But when buying overhead hinges, you can do without plunge-in.

4 ... At the end of the box assembly work, it remains only to collect all the parts in a heap.

Having attached the parts to each other, we twist them with three self-tapping screws, but before that it is advisable to drill a hole with a smaller diameter than the diameter of the screwed-in connector, which will avoid cracking while screwing in the fastener element.

The hinge setting and its quality is also important point of all your work. The reliability of the door and the process of opening and closing itself depend on its correct choice and installation, since a hinge of absolutely any kind is important element, standing between the door and the frame, but not just standing, but uniting them.

Installation of hinges on interior doors

Many of us believe that 2 hinges are more than enough for the reliability of an interior door, but as practice shows, this is not always the case. It all depends on the weight of the door and its dimensions, therefore it is recommended to install another additional hinge in the middle.

• The layout of the locations should be started from the top of the door, stepping back 25 cm, and another 50 cm from this mark, in the same way measure 25 cm from the bottom of the canvas.
• Then, with the help of a pencil, we emphasize the edges of the loop of the upper and lower edges.
• Turning the doors over on the edge, we apply an open loop so that the groove protrudes beyond the edge of the canvas.
• Aligning the canopy with the previously drawn lines, outline the outline of the sash.
• Cut off the part we do not need to the mark against the grain of the tree.
• To make the loop fit perfectly, carefully align and release the marked place, not forgetting that the tree can crack from heavy loads.
• Having adjusted all the details, we screw the awnings to the door with screws, the minimum length of which is 3.5 cm.

With the installation box, everything happens in much the same way:

• We mark the placement of the loop in a vertical position.
• Then we insert the door into the box, observing a gap of up to 4 mm between the canvas and the upper beam.
• Having pulled out the door, we cut out the grooves with a chisel and then, inserting the door back, we cut a hinge into the standing door frame.
• After checking their functionality several times, make sure that the door goes into the box without any hooks.

Installation of the box in the doorway

The installation of the box can be carried out with or without a hinged door. Before installation to avoid further cleaning problems construction foam it is better to protect the surface with paper, tape or other suitable material... The box of an interior double-leaf door is installed strictly vertically using a level or construction plumb line.

1. Initially, a stand with hinges and an upper crossbar are exposed.

2 ... With the help of manipulations, we align them perfectly evenly.

3 ... The next stage is to expand the elements of the box using wedges.

4 ... Then again we check the level of the position of the rack, it is considered exposed if it takes a strictly vertical position.

5 ... After that, the second rack is installed in a similar way. If necessary, if the walls of the room are not even, the door frame must be adjusted using special small pads.

6 ... We drill both side posts of the box through and through for the holes for the dowels, and the unit itself is fixed in the wall with long strong self-tapping screws.

However, there is another way to fix the box in the opening - with the help of special glue "liquid nails". Initially, the glue should be applied to the wood, then the frame and spacers should be installed. It is better to put a cloth under the spacers to avoid scratching the door. The advantage of this method is that there is no need to make holes.

Installation of a double-leaf door

Before you start fixing the interior double-leaf door on its fixed canvas, it is necessary to mount the crossbar - a metal pin that protrudes from the ends when locked.

Stages of bolt installation:

• Initially, markings are applied to the intended location of the crossbar.
• Then a hole is drilled, the depth of which should correspond to the thickness of the pin, and the diameter - 3-4 mm less than its width. To close the door without play, the holes should be made with a slight angle.
• Using a cutting carpentry tool, the groove is adjusted to the required width and depth. After that, the crossbar is inserted and secured with screws.

Now we proceed to the installation of the double-leaf door itself - the canopy of the canvases and their careful adjustment to each other, using props and racks.

Steps for installing a double-leaf door:

1 ... We install the first door and immediately check how it closes. If the harness rubs against the jamb, it is necessary to deepen the grooves. If the door “walks”, then we put small cardboard boxes under the hinge sashes.

2 ... Then we mount the second door in the same way.

After fully adjusting the double-leaf door, the hinges must be secured with the remaining screws. In order not to affect the location of the structure during fixing, it is advised to install wood gaskets between the base of the opening and the elements of the box.

It is worth remembering that after installing the doors, it is not recommended to carry out work that will cause an increase in humidity in the room, for example, plastering, priming, painting walls, etc.

Foaming

Before starting this stage of installing interior double-leaf doors, you should carefully prepare the surface in order to avoid further difficulties associated with removing polyurethane foam... To do this, the doors should be carefully closed with cellophane, and the door frame should be pasted over with masking tape. After this, the space between the wall and the box is foamed. Then, the polyurethane foam should dry completely within 2-3 hours.

It is important that the foam has a low coefficient of expansion, as otherwise the box may bend.

Installing the lock

The lock insert is one of the most difficult manipulations in the installation of an interior double-leaf door. The fact is that this stage requires surgical precision, since the smallest discrepancy between the locking and mating parts can cause jamming, which will subsequently lead to the need to reinstall the lock, and this will spoil the appearance of the door. In addition, the complexity still lies in the fact that you need to insert the lock into a canopy. Therefore, this stage should be treated with special responsibility.

1 ... Initially, the body of the lock is applied to the end of the door at the planned height, then it is encircled with an awl.

2 ... After that, you need to make a groove, the depth of which is equal to the length of the lock.

3 The next stage is the placement of the castle body. If the hole for the lock is made correctly, then its bar will be flush with the plane of the end.

The cost of double-leaf interior doors

The total price of double-leaf doors depends, first of all, on the very material from which the doors are made. The most expensive of all are structures made of solid wood. Materials such as chipboard and MDF are significantly inferior in cost. The price of double-leaf doors is also determined by the presence and type of a mortise lock.

Economy class double-leaf interior doors, of course, attract with their availability. But you should definitely know how this cheapness is achieved.

Firstly, such doors suggest voids inside. The manufacturer significantly saves on material, which leads to a decrease in the cost of the finished product.

Secondly, the coating is most likely made artificial. For example, let's take veneer - a thin layer of wood that serves to cover products, if it is unnatural, then it is just an artificial laminated coating.

A properly installed interior door is always a source of pride, especially when the installation is done by hand. If you do not yet know how to quickly and correctly install the door, then nothing prevents you from doing this.

With good doors and live well

Agree that any apartment is unthinkable without entrance and interior doors. Interior doors successfully combine and fulfill practical and aesthetic functions, limiting adjacent rooms in an apartment.

Being the “first” object of room design, interior doors, both single and double-leaf, give a stylish and complete look to the room. How to choose and install a double-leaf interior door correctly?

Construction of interior double-leaf doors

Let's start with the fact that double-leaf interior doors are somewhat different from single-leaf doors, namely the width of the opening. For double-leaf doors, the opening width ranges from 1300 to 1900 mm.
Double-leaf swing doors consist of two door leaves united by a common door frame. Along the perimeter of the common block of the door frame, the doors are framed with platbands.

No matter how diligently the interior double doors are installed, a gap of several millimeters forms between the canvases. On the outside of the interior double-leaf swing doors, the gap is covered with decorative false strips. In some cases, one of the leaves of double-leaf doors is fixed with a door latch (end bolt) as required for operation.

Material for making double-leaf interior doors

The main (basic) materials for the manufacture of interior doors are:
plastic
melamine
wood
metal
veneer
MDF panels.

However, the traditional materials used in the manufacture of interior doors are gradually giving way to more practical and inexpensive materials such as melamine.
When choosing the material for the manufacture of interior doors, it is necessary to take into account the maximum load and function of the doors, and, of course, the aesthetic component in the overall interior of the apartment.

Method for selecting door sizes

The method of choosing the size of the interior door for subsequent installation takes into account certain technical features installation. Therefore, before installing a double-leaf interior door, it does not hurt to make additional calculations.

Initially, the height and width of the door opening are measured, taking into account the existing curvature. The data obtained will help you to correctly install the door with your own hands. These are the selection features:
when installing double-leaf interior doors, it is necessary to leave a technological gap between the door frame and the base of the opening. The gap should be approximately 15 mm wide around the door frame, excluding the floor.
to exclude possible jamming in case of humidity changes, it is also necessary to provide a gap between the door leaf and the frame of about 5 mm.
Of course, when choosing a double-leaf interior door, you must take into account the possibility finishing works on the plane of the floor near the door.

Door installation technology

Being in the zone of constant visibility and intensive use, special importance is attached to the quality of installation of double-leaf interior doors. Thanks to the numerous proposals of manufacturers of interior doors and simplified model options, they can be installed independently.

However, the procedure for assembling and installing an interior double-leaf door with your own hands requires phased implementation technological operations. Moreover, the doors are double-leaf interior, the dimensions of which may differ from the prepared standard doorways in the apartment, will require additional installation efforts.

Stages of installing an interior double-leaf door

Do-it-yourself installation of a double-leaf door consists of the following steps:
dismantling, if necessary, of the old door leaf and door frame
manual assembly of the door frame from the manufacturer
installation of the door frame in place
installation of awnings
installation of the crossbar on the sash
hanging door leaves
installation and fixing of cashing machines
door health check.

Dismantling the old door leaf begins with removing it from the hinges. Then the door frame is dismantled, followed by the removal of fasteners and insulation materials. Having cleaned the door frame, you can proceed to hand-assembled door frame. The door is supplied with assembly instructions. Take full advantage of it.

Assembly technology includes operations such as sawing and arranging elements, as well as installing sheds. The process of opening and closing two leaves will depend on the quality of the installation of awnings. Therefore, the first thing that needs to be done is to make the optimal installation of the loop cards and the deadbolt, if necessary.

Installation of the door frame in place begins with its location using a plumb line or level. Fixation correct location boxes are carried out using anchor bolts and dowels. Due to the small mass of the interior door, preference can be given to dowels and self-tapping screws. The box is fixed at 6 points: at 3 points on the hinge side of one sash and 3 points on the second sash.

For this, mounting holes are drilled in the elements of the box. It is recommended to install wooden blocks between the elements of the box and the doorway. For foaming the resulting voids during the installation of the box, polyurethane foam is used, which has a low coefficient of expansion during solidification.
When installing canopies, the locations on the sashes are initially determined and marked. These are the extreme upper and lower points on the flaps at a distance of 150 mm.

After installing and adjusting the awnings, they are fastened using screws 35 mm long. Mating elements of awnings on the installation box are attached in the same way. The installed canopies must guarantee a technological gap between the door leaves and the frame. Having installed a double-leaf interior door on your own, it is necessary to perform a performance check in order to exclude paste.

After the installation of the door leaves, the platbands are installed and fixed along the perimeter of the entire door frame.
More detailed information How to install a double-leaf interior door is presented in the video.

Installation of a double-leaf swing door has its own subtleties and nuances in comparison with the installation of a single-leaf door. This article discloses one of possible options a similar setup. Why one of the possible? Because there are many installers-wizards and each has its own preferences and unique experience. Everyone achieves a goal (a well-established door) in their own ways. I invite you to get acquainted with the process presented to me by my teachers and polished on your own mistakes.

Here is the opening ready to install the doors.

As a rule, in typical apartments, a double door consists of two sashes 60 cm wide.In this case, the sashes will be 70 cm each.What absolutely does not change anything during the installation process, just the top box beam will be 20 cm wider than that of a standard door made of sixty.

Here are the doors and moldings in the package. One of my favorite manufacturers is.

We unpack the doors, carefully check where the top is, where the bottom is, which side of the glass is matte and which is glossy, we determine which side of the sash will look in the opening.

Having decided which side the doors will stand on, we decide in which leaf the bolt will be installed, and in which handle. And we carefully sign everything, glue the masking tape from the side of the hinges on the front side of the door (from the side of the opening).

Inspect each box beam carefully. To begin with, they may generally be from different door models, not suitable friend to a friend in width and geometry. It also happens. The box beam, as a rule, is bent to one side or the other. Let there be any side bars, they are not difficult to pull out during installation. But let the upper bar bend up rather than down. This will facilitate clearance adjustment and installation.

Then we hang the second door and, adjusting its position relative to the first door, mark the position of the second bar and fix it.

To prevent the upper bar from squeezing out with foam, its position can be fixed with a self-tapping screw. Alternatively, insert a 3 mm thick gasket over one of the doors and leave it on while the foam dries.

After making sure that the doors are exactly relative to each other, the gaps are observed and everything is in order, we foame the seams.

Swing doors are different in design and the list of materials used. They really kind of swing open. A block of such doors is made up of a door frame, which is fixed in the doorway of the wall, as well as one or several canvases that are hung on the frame.

Swing door design

Interroom swing doors along the outline of the contour can be rectangular or arched. According to the inner filling, swing doors can be made of an array of solid material, or they can be paneled, panel-type and stuffed with different fillers of greater or lesser density. Swing doors by the number of canvases can be four-floor, double-leaf, one-and-a-half or single-floor.

In addition, there are left and right doors: depending on the side into which the door opens. It also depends on this parameter, which side will be located door hinges... Right-sidedness or left-sidedness of the door is easy to recognize: if you stand on the side of the door into which they swing open, then at right door hinges (awnings) will be on the right. The left is on the left. There are also swing-leaf doors. They are able to open into both separate rooms.

The structure of the door leaf, which is made of solid wood, can consist of both different breeds, and from a single piece. If the door is made of different types of wood, then the pieces of wood must be carefully selected in accordance with the technical and operational properties in the process of making the door leaf. The assembled canvases are typically faced with veneer, which is made of valuable wood species. The veneer is also treated with enamels and nitro varnishes.

The door leaf can be filled with laths, timber bars, or be decorated with small-hollow or solid cores of plywood, veneer, spiral shavings, polyurethane, hardboard or insulating fiberboard.

Most often, paneled doors are used in a residential interior. They can be either deaf or equipped with glazing panels. In addition, glass panels can be reinforced, patterned or transparent. Oscillating canvases are an exception. For safety reasons, they should only be fitted with transparent glass.

Mesonite doors are made of pressed wood. In such wood, the fractions should be finely dispersed. Mesonite doors are quite strong and durable. The front surface is finished with valuable wood veneer.

More recently, plastic doors have appeared in the interior. They are distinguished by their lightness, unlimited colors and modern design... The rebate of the door leaf of the plastic door is rounded. Consequently, the door is devoid of traditional edges. The plastic door has additional advantages: the ability to open in both directions and the visible absence door hinges... Such doors are either painted or finished with a stretch of 2-3 layers of plastic.

Elite doors are made only to order. However, cheaper versions can be purchased in stores. When buying a door, keep in mind that the size doorway should slightly exceed the dimensions of the door. Therefore, a gap of 2-2.5 cm should remain between the wall and the box during installation. This gap can subsequently be cemented or filled with heat and sound insulating material.

When installing the door frame, use a plumb line and square. First, the door is emphasized - a bar that is inside the box. It will prevent the door from turning after it is closed. After that, the slots for the door hinges are cut in. Now you can hang the door and install the platbands. In the last place, work is carried out on decorative framing boxes and plastering the uneven edges of the wall around the opening.

Most of this work can be avoided by purchasing pre-assembled doors from the factory. These doors are equipped with a ready-to-install door stop and a finished door frame. Also in the kit you will find a stopper bar and hinges. The door frames have already been cut at a 45 degree angle.

Doors are installed in place after the plaster is done or after the plaster wall has dried. However, the door must be installed before laying the floor covering and installing the skirting boards. Before starting work, you should decide in which direction the door will open. The door frame is installed depending on this solution. It is best if the door opens towards the exit from the house or apartment. Even balconies and loggias should be considered such exits.

Before installing the door frame, you need to assemble the side and top trims. After that, you can install the box in doorway... In order to install the frame, the three pieces of the door frame must be laid on the floor. Then the door stop is installed. The top and side straps are connected by means of nails. In this case, the nails should be round in cross section.

The left and top straps are installed in the same way. A 5 x 2.5 cm strip is nailed between the two side straps at the bottom of the door frame so that they remain parallel during the entire installation time of the door. Now you need to install the assembled door frame in the doorway and carefully place it in the center. It is necessary to make sure that all elements remain strictly rectangular. The perpendicularity of the elements and the verticality of the installation are also checked. Check the horizontalness of the upper harness using a level, square or plumb line. If necessary, seal to align the door frame in the required locations.

In order to properly install and secure the door frame, it is necessary in the places where it will come into contact with the wall, put pieces of plywood under it. Now check the verticality of the side elements again. Attach the box with 6.5cm nails without a cap to the reinforcement bars (if the wall is made of wood). If the wall is stone, then screws should be used instead of nails. Remove the nailed bar and check the horizontal top harness again. Correct its position if required.

The height of the standard door is 1981 mm. The width of such a door can be different. It depends on the standards of the country of origin.

Factory doors are supplied with hinges already attached to the door frame. To hang the door, it is necessary to separate the fastened parts of the hinges and install them in previously prepared places. In the process of performing this operation, it is necessary to disassemble the hinges, remove the axles, and then screw the corresponding parts of the hinges into the recesses that are cut in the door. In order to install the door in the door frame on the hinges, it is necessary to put lining under it. After that, the parts of the hinges are installed and the axles are inserted into place. If necessary, you can adjust the stopper bar. Consequently, a smoother closing and opening of the door will be provided.

To complete the installation, you need to nail the trims around the door frame. To do this, install the upper element of the platbands above the door, then check this element for horizontalness and nail it in with nails 4 cm long. The nails should be oval in cross section. The first nail should be driven in 7.5 cm from the corner. After that, the next nail is driven in at the same distance from the other corner. Between the corners, the nails should be 15 cm apart from each other. The side elements are nailed to the frame. The correctness of the joining of their ends is checked. The ends, of course, should be beveled at a 45 degree angle. The ends should fit carefully to the top of the trims. The side elements are nailed starting from the top. The same operations are repeated for the other side of the door. After that, all that remains is to equip door handles in the corresponding holes.

Installation of a door in the frame of a wall made of beams has some peculiarities. So, if a passage is to be provided in the frame of the partition, then at least one vertical bar must be removed from the frame. In place of this bar, it is necessary to mount a rigid supporting structure, which is called a door frame. Consequently, the doorway will be limited by a pair of vertical bars. These bars must be nailed from the inside. The box is bounded from above by a short cross member. The crossbar is nailed between the reinforcement bars. It is also called the top harness. short beams, which are reinforced between the ceiling beam and the top trim, will support the drywall that will be nailed over the door.

It is recommended to start the installation of the box by mounting two ordinary beams, which are far enough apart from each other. After that, it is necessary to equip all parts of the box and the door: a 6 mm thick seal around the perimeter, two reinforcing beams 5 cm wide and the door assembly. Reinforcement bars should be applied to outside each outer beam of the opening. Press the outer bar with your foot. Nail the second beam to it with nails 10 cm long (the nails should have a round cross-section). Drive in nails every 40 cm.

In order to install the upper harness, it is necessary to cut off a bar with a section of 10 x 5 cm. The length of this bar should be equal to the distance between the reinforcing bars. Put the block in place with a gap of 6 mm. This gap will also serve as a seal over the door. To the vertical beams, nail the bar with nails with a circular cross-section 10 cm long. Drive the nails from above and below at the ends of the bar.

Then install the backups. To do this, cut the bars of a length that is equal to the distance between the top trim and the ceiling bar. Nail the props with 10cm round nails to the reinforcement bars. To complete the manufacture of the doorway after arranging the wall in place, it is necessary to cut off that part of the floor beam that is located between the inner sides of the auxiliary reinforcing beams. The door frame during installation must be in accordance with exact dimensions door leaf.

As a rule, the door is purchased as a set. Therefore, to produce accurate calculations it is possible in advance.

Sometimes it is required to shorten the door leaf. After all, after the acquisition door block or during repair it turns out that door leaf too high. If the door was recently purchased or was made to order, then it is better to entrust the work of fitting the door to specialists. This primarily applies to plastic doors. If the door is made in the form of a solid array, then the work can be successfully completed independently.

The door leaf is shortened with a hacksaw equipped with fine teeth. You can also use hand saw... However, in the latter case, attach the board to the back of the door leaf. This will give you a smooth, burr-free cut.

The lower part of the strapping of a light (with filling) door leaf is made of solid wood or solid timber, taking into account the possibility of shortening. If this section of bars is not enough, then it is permissible to cut the canvas to the required size. The opened cavity is subsequently closed with a bar, which is inserted into the glue. In the process of shortening a paneled door, do not forget about the proportions of the sections of such a door. Indeed, by overly shortening the door from below, it is possible to disrupt the harmony not only of the canvas, but also of the interior as a whole.

Changing the landing height of the door leaf

Most often, this need arises after laying carpet flooring. If the gap between the upper part of the door leaf and the rebate is sufficient, then a washer can be located between the bosses (awnings) of the split hinge. However, rubbing surfaces must be thoroughly greased with oil.

If the gap of the upper vestibule is too small, then the upper quarter of the door frame can be shaved off. This is more convenient than cutting the door leaf. Indeed, after trimming, the height of the canvas will remain irreversible. The top quarter of the box must be carefully sanded to allow the door to close freely.

Installing double-leaf interior doors is a doable task for knowledgeable master... Not to say that this is the same as installing a single-leaf door, but this task cannot be called difficult either. The principle of assembling the box is the same, the equipment is the same. I washed down the door frame by 45 degrees, assembling it. Installation in the doorway. into the frame and door blocks, alignment of gaps, installation of door fittings. But all the same, we repeat once again, it is better for an experienced master to perform such an installation.

Installation of interior doors is recognized as one of the main stages of renovation work. Doors need not only to choose the right one - and this is not easy with their wide variety, but also to install so that there are no flaws.

If the technology for installing interior doors is violated, then you are doomed to whole line problems. And serious ones. Because, for example, a skewed door will cause not only irritation, but difficulties - it will not be easy to close and open it. A creak, a sloppy cut-in lock and a skewed handle will not please. In a word, the correct installation of interior doors is a prerequisite that must be taken into account.

And who can do it right? Only the one who is constantly engaged in this knows all the subtleties of the work. Installation of interior doors Yekaterinburg is a city where there is a specialized company with extensive experience. The work should begin with a consultation on the choice of a door and end with a turnkey delivery. Of course, there is also such an option as. But in order to decide on this, you need to be competent enough in the matter, confident in your abilities.
Preparing for installation
The works, which will be described below, are nothing more than a kind. Of course, there may be some deviations during work, but in general, ordered services for installing interior doors include just such a list of works.

Any doors are placed in the opening. Usually openings are made standard sizes and for them the same standard doors... That's why Additional materials not required for installation.

But sometimes the opening does not correspond to the dimensions that are indicated in SNiPs (building codes and rules) and then you have to work with it. A mounting block is used for such purposes; you can take a solid wood board, fiberboard or gypsum fiber board. With their help, the opening is narrowed, leaving only a gap for the foam - its layer should not exceed 20 mm. The opening must be processed on each side, no more than 40 mm. If you do not comply with the specified size, then the joint that forms between the main wall and the element with which the opening was reduced will not be covered by the platband.

If you enter right size fails and it is necessary to increase the opening by more than 40 mm on both sides, that is, the way out is to install interior doors with.

Dobors are panels with different thicknesses, different way installation. They are made of both wood and fiberboard or MDF boards, they can be made of veneer. It is not difficult to install them - before installing the door, the accessories are screwed to the door frame. They can even correct the curvature of the wall - they cut it out taking it into account.

The cost of installing interior doors includes such work as checking the floor level. This is done like this: the level is applied inside the opening, parallel to the walls, clearly in a horizontal position. Points are put on each side of the opening - the production and installation of interior doors will be guided by them. The size from floor to dot will show how much the sides in the box will differ in height. But this difference should not be more than 3 mm.
Not just a door box

And you need to approach this issue according to all the rules. It does not matter at all whether it will be the installation of sliding interior doors or, or the installation of double-leaf interior doors. For any kind of door, the frame means a lot. It is better to assemble it in a horizontal position. After assembly, it is installed in the previously prepared opening. The side on which the door hinges will be located is installed especially carefully, using a plumb line. The hinges cut into both the frame and the door leaf, in front of the canopy of the latter.
Do it yourself?

Do you need to do what the professionals do much better? Self-installation interior doors, of course, is possible, but no one can guarantee the quality. The process is complex, time consuming, it is not possible to do it alone, usually you need an assistant.

If you decide that installing interior doors on your own is a real thing for you, then purchase for this full set necessary tools and other necessary things. Experts believe that in addition to a screwdriver and a hammer, you will need a saw for working with wood, which has small, hardened teeth. You cannot do without a tool that will need to cut at an angle of 45-90 degrees. You will need bars that are used as spacers and wedges. A plumb line, polyurethane foam and silicone-based sealant are required. The rest is done according to the instructions and depends on your skill.
Everything should be according to the rules

After all of the above, it became clear that the door should be installed by the master. Then the installation of locks in the interior doors, and the installation of handles on the interior doors in the future will not cause any problems or complaints. But, nevertheless, there are things that do not prevent the customer from knowing.

Before deciding to install a new door, make sure that all painting and plastering work has been completed in the room, that the walls are dry and the humidity is constant.

After installing the doors, you should not carry out work that leads to an increase in humidity, namely, pour the floors, plaster, putty. Works associated with painting, priming, wallpapering are also not suitable. New doors should not serve as protection if such work is being carried out in an adjacent room.

If, nevertheless, repair work is necessary, then it is better to remove the door leaf, and protect the box with plastic wrap.

Careful with the foam. Mounting gaps, and this is the distance from the wall to the door frame, should be no more than 5 mm, they are filled with foam immediately after the doors are installed. Important: the foam must have a low expansion coefficient so that the box does not bend when it expands.

The door frame must have in the opening additional mountings, which is done with anchors or self-tapping screws. All its elements are installed only on the level, and not on the wall.
Correct use is the key to longevity

Everyone loves care and attention. Installation of interior doors, the price of which depends primarily on the material from which they are made, requires not only compliance technological process during their installation, but also compliance with the rules of operation.

Interior doors are afraid high humidity so keep it below 70 percent.

Try to close and open the door carefully, there is no mechanical damage, and these are usually chips, frayed places.

Protect the door from acids, alkalis, solvents.

To make the door leaf always look beautiful, use the products that are designed for this to care for it.

The dirty door surface can be wiped with a special furniture cloth.

And, of course, interior doors are not at all suitable for installation in a bath, sauna, swimming pool and in a room that is not heated, where the floor is cement or earthen.

Stages of installing an interior door:

Assembling the box.

Do you need a frame for a door with right or left opening direction? Arrange the component parts of the box in the order according to the required direction of opening the door.
Before assembly, the post boxes must be ripped off in accordance with the required gap between the floor and the door leaf, taking into account the floor covering. In residential areas, the recommended clearance is 10 mm. Further, the parts are connected with self-tapping screws.

Installation of hinges

When installing hinges, it is necessary to turn Special attention at distances A and B. In the event that a seal is present in the door frame, then A = B. If the door frame goes without a seal, then distance A must be made one and a half millimeters more than B, so that the door leaf does not touch the vestibule.
1. Box of an interior door.
2. Door leaf.
A. Distance from the edge of the loop to the rebate on the box.
B. Distance from the edge of the hinge to the edge of the door leaf.

At an angle of forty-five degrees, the ends of the crossbar are cut so that during assembly the distance between vertical posts was 5 mm more than the width of the door leaf.
The gap from the installed door to the floor is 10mm. On the hinge box, the distance down from the bottom groove is marked 200mm + 10mm. Before cutting the box, check the floor with a level. A level is applied between the points where the racks of the box are located. It is necessary to check the floor along the entire radius along which the installed door will walk. Found differences in floor level will help to adjust the trim length of the racks. All parts of the box of the installed interior door are assembled with screws. The door block is ready and you can start installing.

Installation of the box.

Put assembled box into the mounting opening and align it with the mounting wedges exactly in the horizontal and vertical directions, the upper wedges should be at the level of the junction of the transverse and upright parts.

Correctly sized wedges should be 20mm longer than the depth of the frame profile. Align the box in height so that its bottom edge matches the level of the finished floor surface. (By the time the door frame is installed, the floor covering, for example, laminate, must have already been laid. The threshold will facilitate the observance of the interior door installation technology.

In order to fix the lower part of the box with wedges, align the hinge side, check with a building level in two planes. Next, measure the distances at the top and bottom of the box, taking into account 5 mm for the gaps, for example, with a blade width of 800 mm, the distance should be 805 mm. Using a wedge, fix the opposite side of the box. Place the spacer firmly against the lower wedges.

Installation of the door leaf.

The door block is installed in the doorway of the room using wood screws. Using large anchors to install interior doors on your own will not be a viable solution.

It will be enough to fix the door frame in three places. Additional fixings may be required depending on the size of the door frame.

Fasteners must be hidden under the striker door lock and hinges.
We insert the assembled interior door box into the doorway. We expose the hinge stand vertically. We fix the rack with wood screws. Then we hang and strengthen the door leaf. If the hinge stand is fixed vertically, it will be stationary in any position. Next, you will need to secure the lock rack. We draw the same gap between the uprights and the crossbar along the door leaf. It is necessary to make a gap of 3-4mm between the lock post and the door. A larger gap of 4-5mm will not look very neat. It will also be risky to make a smaller gap. During the operation of the interior door - in 5-7 years due to changes in temperature and humidity, possible settlement of the building and wear of the hinge, the gap may well decrease. In this case, the installed interior door will not be easy to close and open.

If the walls of the opening are not wooden, before fixing the racks of the interior doors, it is imperative to prepare mortgages for the screws.

Between the pillars of the door frame and the wall, four or five wooden spacers are installed on both sides. The gap between the box and the wall is filled with polyurethane foam.
It is necessary to avoid getting polyurethane foam on the parts of the door block. When the polyurethane foam dries, it leaves marks on decorative surfaces... Any cleaning agent can damage the surface. door cover... The curing time of various polyurethane foams is from one to three hours, complete drying of the polyurethane foam is a day. When filling with foam, account for the subsequent expansion of one in five.

Using the mounting foam selected for the interior door and the corresponding filling method, you can not be afraid of the negative effects of the foam on the details of the door block.

Installation of an additional element.

Measure the distance from the edge of the box to the edge of the wall, cut the additional strip to the size of the distance taking into account the groove using a hacksaw or electric jigsaw. Insert the expansion piece into the groove and tape at several points. Wait until the foam is completely dry.

In the case when the maximum width of the standard additional element produced by the factory (230 mm) does not allow to completely cover the width of the opening, a connecting strip is used, which makes it possible to connect several additional elements(scheme). In addition, the connecting strip allows you to design an opening without installing a door frame (diagram).

Installation of platbands. Installation of double-leaf interior doors by yourself.

Installation of single-leaf interior doors and installation of double-wing interior doors are the same with minor differences.

Before hanging the canvas with a lock and a handle, you need to level and fix the rack of the box, on which the canvas is subsequently hung. Then the second post is previously fixed at the top point. A door leaf with a deadbolt is hung (latch for fixing a two-leaf door). The second stand is set in such a way that both canvases are exactly in the same plane, and are finally fixed.

The crossbar is attached with one screw. The fastening space is calculated in such a way that it would be covered with a deadbolt striker.

Double-leaf interior doors - advantages

When starting to modernize the interior, the owner of the apartment plans in advance the options for acquiring doors; even before going to the store, a modern creative buyer usually already determines all the requirements for a future purchase. The material, color, shade, wishes for glazing, fittings, hinges and, of course, for the general type of doors are approximately known. Some buyers, as a rule, consider the functional qualities of the door to be the main thing, while others put the uniqueness and harmony of design in the first place.

Ideally, the door, for all its beauty and uniqueness, should have a number of mechanical individual characteristics, which largely depends on the optimal choice of the type of door for a given room, the opening mechanism is very important, because there are a lot of door options, except for the standard swing type.
In not poor private houses and cottages, in the presence of large living rooms and halls optimal solution are double-leaf interior doors. Interior doors of this type will certainly become not just a part of the interior, but its key point, the choice of the style of the surrounding interior will completely depend on them. These doors are not cheap, but with high enough ceilings, they are almost the only solution in an effort to highlight the sophistication and wealth of the home. Such doors give the room a kind of status, it is a long-formed style that modern designers play in a new way, without fear of a wide variety of style combinations.

Unlike other types of interior doors, double-leaf doors have two leaves that open with equal ease both inward and outward. A certain convenience of double-leaf doors is that when opening-closing, the position of the body of a passing person does not change, he can go straight through it without deviating to open, as is the case with single-leaf doors. Interior double doors are an excellent choice for those who want to have increased sound insulation in the apartment. When closed tightly, extraneous sounds will not leak through them and neither loud music nor loud music will be heard in the next room. home theater... Such doors are equipped, as a rule, with special seals located along the entire door frame.

Among the interior double-leaf doors, swing and sliding models are distinguished. Classic standard view swing doors have such a principle of opening them has been used for a very long time. Such canvases look very solid and expensive and create a special unique mood, especially in large halls and living rooms. Sliding two-leaf doors have appeared not so long ago, they use modern sliding mechanism opening and allow you to save such a necessary useful area. They are often used in ordinary small standard apartments to enliven the interior and give the renovation an expensive and solid look.

Most modern door manufacturers, for example, the Volkhovets company, produce models that can be used as double-leaf. To do this, you need to purchase two canvases of any single-leaf model and install a sliding mechanism equipped with rollers made of durable material, along which the canvases will move with light effort by means of metal guides. The handles for these doors are not much different from the handles for standard single-leaf doors. Besides the aesthetic benefits sliding doors their indisputable advantage is the absence of problems with the movement and arrangement of furniture.

Double-leaf interior doors installation.

Firstly, in order to install double-leaf interior doors in your apartment, there must be an appropriate opening.

What kind of opening are we talking about: if you have chosen doors with a width of seventy centimeters, then to the width of two doors you need to add the thickness of the gutter and the gap between the doors and the pillars of the gutter - about 6 - 8 millimeters.
The installation of double-leaf interior doors does not require any special operations - standard assembly of a window, installation of awnings.

But foaming assembled door with or not, depends on how you prepared the doorway - you can adjust the dimensions of the doorway when installing the partition to the dimensions of the future door with a roof.

Then it will be possible to save on mounting foam, and fix the boom racks to the opening profiles with special screws.

Installation of interior double-leaf doors begins with the correct location of the pattern on the door, if it is, for example, deaf.

In the following photos you can see how we chose the location of the picture on the doors - in the form of a jug or in the form of a glass.

It is imperative to set the trough with doors on a level so that the doors do not open or close on their own.

If you installed double doors with a bow in a fitted doorway, then it remains to secure it with screws.

And if there are gaps between the pillars of the piping and the opening in the wall, then the doors with the piping should be mounted on mounting foam.

In order for the foam to adhere better to the wall, the wall must be slightly moistened before foaming so that there is no dust.

To prevent the foam from squeezing the gaps between the uprights and the double-leaf doors, you need to insert pieces of cardboard from the door packaging into all the gaps.

This way, the cardboard will fill in all the gaps and prevent the boom racks from crushing the doors.

After the foam has dried for at least six hours, you can proceed with the installation of the boarding board and cashing machines.
