Установка доборов на межкомнатные двери: саморезы, гвозди, пена

Преимущественно все двери, которые изготавливаются на специализированных фабриках, рассчитаны на определённую толщину стен. Она во многих случаях составляет порядка 70 или 80 мм. Но как же быть владельцам загородных или обычных частных домов? У них стены часто намного толще квартирных вариантов.

В таком случае можно отделать проём листами гипсокартона или поступить ещё проще – применить установку добора на межкомнатные двери. Способ несложный, и требует значительно меньше времени и усилий для его реализации. Некоторые хозяева домов штукатурят проёмы в тех местах, где короб отсутствует. Но, все же, менее трудоёмким и более эффективным является способ установки доборов. Поэтому нужно тщательно разобраться, как крепить добор правильно.

Что такое доборы?

Доборы представляют собой две стойки, расположенные в вертикальном положении, и одну горизонтальную планку. Она располагается вверху проёма. Таким образом, готовая конструкция увеличивает сам короб. Среди часто используемого материала для изготовления конструкции, наиболее популярными являются ДВП, массив и МДФ. Они износостойкие и доступны в своей ценовой категории.

Замер и подготовительные работы

Установка доборов необходима в первую очередь для того, чтобы надёжно закрепить наличники. Произвести правильную фиксацию наличников можно, если изделия будут размещены торцом к плоскости стены. Лучше всего снимать замеры при собранном и установленном коробе. После этого уже проводится непосредственно установка доборов.

Изначально следует поставить линейку на площадку короба и держать её строго перпендикулярно стене. Нужно определить размеры верхней и нижней части изделия. При этом ширина одного добора в разных частях может отличаться, поскольку стены практически всегда неидеальны. Все данные следует заносить на бумагу, чтобы не перепутать параметры изделия.

Многие опытные специалисты пользуются более точным методом. Замер всех доборов производится посредством угольника и ровной рейки. Первое приспособление устанавливают в посадочное место, а второе прикладывают к плоскости стены. Там, где угольник пересекается с рейкой и будет указатель ширины. Размер каждого откоса необходимо тщательно проверять, поскольку ошибку можно допустить на любом этапе.

После проведённых манипуляций приступают к отрезу доски. Это легко сделать при помощи ручной пилы. Электролобзик и стационарный станок также хорошо подходят, при условии их наличия.

Монтаж

Установить доборы на межкомнатную дверь своими руками достаточно просто. Для этого нужно определиться, прежде всего, с типом короба. Они бывают:

• с пазом;
• без паза.

Первый вариант самый простой. В нём есть всё, чтобы надёжно провести монтаж доборов. Универсальность наличия паза в том, что он позволяет регулировать положение добора. А также это приспособление значительно экономит время. Отрегулировав планку, её можно сразу же крепить к стене.

Установка на саморезы

Первое, что нужно сделать – это просверлить потай под саморез. Как правило, доски МДФ, из которых чаще всего делают заготовки, приблизительно 10 мм в толщину. Это означает, что сверло должно быть диаметром максимум в 9 мм. Чтобы более точно и надёжно крепить на межкомнатную дверь доборы, диаметры сверла и шляпки саморезов должны совпадать.

Непосредственно саморезы выбирают такой длины, чтобы они буквально немного заходили в полотно короба. Если изделия будут слишком длинными – древесина треснет. Обязательное условие – использование свёрл по дереву. Они характеризуются наличием специальных выступов в форме иголок. Такие изделия способны точно центровать отверстия.

Когда инструмент выбран, сверлим отверстие под саморез. При этом нужно выбрать не перпендикулярное направление, а выставить сверло под углом. Такой способ позволит закрепить дополнительный элемент к центральной части дверного короба.

Первыми прикручиваются саморезами вертикальные стойки. После их фиксации приступают к монтажу горизонтальной планки.

Установка на гвоздики

Ещё одним весьма эффективным способом установки дверного добора является метод применения гвоздиков.

Для монтажа потребуется просверлить маленькие отверстия, в которые затем будут забиваться финишные гвозди.

Критически важно – просверленные отверстия должны быть меньше длины гвоздей!

После этого необходимо вставить гвоздики острой стороной наружу, а шляпки убрать кусачками. Часто применяется монтажный брус для забивания гвоздей.

Когда все крепёжные элементы на месте, можно ставить доборы и аккуратно прибивать изделие, соединяя его с коробом.

Установка на пену

По своей сути, этот способ можно считать одним из самых простых. При этом заранее выполняется разметка, и выпиливаются все необходимые элементы конструкции.

Установка добора дверей по такому принципу выполняется в несколько раз быстрее остальных методов. Изделия устанавливаются на места. После этого их нужно подклинить с внутренней стороны. Поверхности должны прижаться к дверному коробу. Закрепить проём можно только после тщательной очистки и обязательного смачивания поверхности.

Установка телескопических доборов

Такой тип изделий имеет свои уникальные преимущества.

• Он может быть плотно зафиксирован в общей конструкции.
• Поверхности надёжно прилегают друг к другу.
• Соединить комплектующие части между собой довольно просто.
• Доборы при данной конфигурации могут смещаться либо вверх, либо вниз.
• Возможно перемещение их внутрь и наружу изделия.
• Запас хода частей небольшой, но данные миллиметры позволяют максимально точно отрегулировать положение доборов и исправить ошибки, которые были допущены во время разметки.
• Специальные «регулировочные» пазы делают конструкцию удобной и простой в монтаже.

Вместе с коробкой

Способ заключается в том, чтобы собрать всю конструкцию перед её креплением к стене. И короб, и доборы собираются в одно целое. Добавочные элементы, расширяющие проём, крепятся к дверной коробке. После этого выполняется фиксация готового изделия.

Полезными будут следующие советы:

• Гвоздики применяют исключительно для того, чтобы прижимать дополнительные панели к дверной коробке. Они не удерживают от смещения.
• В процессе сверления отверстий можно сделать трещину на лицевой стороне изделия и между откосами. Поэтому все работы необходимо выполнять аккуратно.

90000 6 Effective Ways To Fix Door Knobs And Door Handles 90001 90002 90003 90004 90002 Posted On 90006 90007 July 19 2017 90008 90009 by 90006 Ralph 90009 90004 90002 If you are looking to fix door handles, there are several ways to go about it. But before you start, you need to know a few things. These fixes and installation methods are not always the same as basic lock installation.It is important to know what type of door handle you are trying to fix. You need to know what type of fix will solve your particular issue. And you must be sure that you have the training and background for proper servicing and diagnosis. For everything you need to fix a door handle, no matter your skill, just read on. 90004 90015 Common Door Handle Types 90016 90002 In order to fix door handles, you must know what type of handle it is. Knowing the type of door handle you are trying to fix allows you to better understand how the mechanisms work.If you do not understand the basics of the handle you are trying to fix, then you risk damaging the handle as well as the door that it is on. To fix door handles, begin by knowing what might be wrong with them and how to go about safely servicing them. 90004 90002 90006 Keyed Door Handle 90009 — Keyed door handles are most often found on exterior entryway doors. If the door leads to the outside, there is a good chance it has a keyed cylinder to add more security to the building. If your handle or knob has a keyhole, then it is keyed.Besides how the door knob is controlling the latch bolt, there could also be issues with the lock cylinder breaking or malfunctioning. 90004 90002 90006 Privacy Door Handle 90009 — Privacy door handles will not have a keyway. These types of locks will be used on interior doors. There is still likely to be an actuator on the side of the door that leads to the room where privacy is desired. The actuator is likely to be a turning or push button switch. To fix door handles like this, you hardly have to worry about issues with the locking mechanism breaking down.90004 90002 90006 Simple Turn Handle 90009 — These door handles have no intention of delivering privacy or security. They are made only to require a door handle to be twisted in order to access the room. Handles like this will often not even be secured onto a door with through screws. Often the rose plate around the base of the handle, or even the handle itself, will be threaded. This threading allows the knob to be securely fastened without the need for screws. Often these handles will need to be tightened, and in the most extreme cases, the door will need maintenance.90004 90002 90006 Exposed Fastener Door Handle 90009 — When the set screws or another method of a fastener is readily accessible, then this will make most methods to fix door handles simpler. With this style of the door handle, you can always remove the step of exposing the set screws in any process that requires some form of handle disassembly. Sometimes these handles are noticeable because they will have their set screws on full display. Other times they can appear to be concealed fastener door handles, but that is because the fastener is the rose or handle of the door knob.90004 90002 90006 Concealed Fastener Door Handle 90009 — A door handle with a concealed fastener forces whoever is working on the device to remove part of the assembly before having full access to the part of the handle, which is keeping the full assembly in the door. Most often these locks have a rose plate on the interior handle, which is held in place by an Allen screw and / or spring loaded button. 90004 90002 Find out what is being used to secure your rose before you move onto fix door handles.Go to the side of the door that has the turning or push button actuator (this is the interior side / secure side of the handle). If your handle does not have an actuator, chances are the rose or handle is the faster (refer to the «Exposed Fastener Door Handle» section above). If there is a small hole in the handle, often that needs a rose catch tool in order to depress the spring loaded button. The Allen screw needs an Allen key in order to move it out of the way. 90004 90015 1. Removing Rust 90016 90002 90044 90004 90046 Background 90047 90002 Rusted parts in a door handle can lead to many types of mechanical failures.Most often people will seek to fix door handles that are not operating smoothly by removing rust. This is a very recognizable issue because often rust is outwardly visible on the door handle. When something looks old, it is a popular idea to try and fix or replace the device. It is a good strategy, but external rust build up does not always coincide with internal oxidation. This is especially true if the outside of the doorknob has been cleaned without addressing the interior parts of the handle.90004 90002 Rust is not always the reason for jammed door handles, sticking latch bolts, etc., but if you do see rust, it is best to fix door handles that are affected. All forms of rust on any type of door handle can create complications to functionality, but the largest issues can arise with keyed door handles. When there is a locking mechanism, many of the small internal parts can rust or become jammed due to rust. When you fix door handles that are rusted, be sure to address the smaller components of any locking mechanisms.90004 90046 Tools 90047 90054 90055 Vinegar (Preferably with 5% Acidity) 90056 90055 Baking soda 90056 90055 Metal clear coat spray 90056 90055 Container (s) (enough or large enough to submerge every part of the door handle) 90056 90055 Water 90056 90055 Water basin (dry to start) 90056 90055 Phillips Head Screwdriver (if the handle is secured with screws) 90056 90055 Rose Catch Tool (if the screws are concealed under a rose plate) 90056 90055 A Rag or Piece of Cloth 90056 90055 Scrub brush and / or toothbrush 90056 90075 90046 Process 90047 90078 90055 Expose the set screws on the door handle.90054 90055 If screws are already exposed, proceed to next step. 90056 90055 If the knob or rose plate itself is screwed on with threading on the hardware, there will be no screws to expose. 90056 90075 90056 90055 Take the handle off of the door. 90056 90055 Carefully take the handle apart. 90054 90055 Deconstruct the handle to the full extent possible. 90056 90075 90056 90055 Place all pieces of the door handle in the containers. 90054 90055 Make sure that no part extends past the lip of the container it is placed in.90056 90075 90056 90055 Pour vinegar into the container (s). 90054 90055 Pour enough to submerge each part entirely. 90056 90075 90056 90055 Leave the door handle parts to sit in for one day. 90056 90055 Drain the vinegar for the containers. 90056 90055 Move the parts to the dry basin. 90056 90055 Coat the parts with baking soda 90054 90055 This neutralizes the acidity of the vinegar. 90056 90075 90056 90055 Pour water onto the baking soda covered components. 90056 90055 Scrub remaining residue off the components.90056 90055 Dry with the towel. 90056 90055 Coat the dry door handle components with your metal clear coat spray. 90056 90055 Spray one side at a time, and allow each side to dry before doing the next. 90054 90055 This clear coat will keep the metal from re-rusting quickly. 90056 90075 90056 90055 Reassemble the door handle in the door. 90056 90055 Tighten the screws. 90054 90055 If the knob or rose plate is threaded, turn the hardware to the right in order to fix door handles.90056 90055 If an additional tool is needed to grip the handle so that torque can be applied effectively, place a cloth or rag over between the tool and the handle to prevent scuffing or damage to the finish. 90056 90075 90056 90055 Reinstall any covers. 90054 90055 If the screws were exposed already or the door handle assembly was rotated to fix the door handle, there will be no covers to reinstall. 90056 90075 90056 90055 Test to make sure the door handle actuates the latch correctly.90054 90055 If the door handle uses locking mechanism, test all the ways of locking. 90056 90075 90056 90155 90015 2. Replacing Parts 90016 90046 Background 90047 90002 Old door handles rarely break completely. Sometimes the part that breaks can be too expensive to replace. Then it makes sense to just get a new door handle, but this is not always the case. Even when it is broken, you may want to hold onto your current door handles for sentimental, historical, or design purposes. Sometimes small pieces within the door handle can fall out, corrode beyond salvaging or simply break.In the case of wanting to fix a vintage or custom door handle, it is still possible to replace the broken piece (s). There is always the possibility to fix door handles by replacing parts. This is even possible for repairing locks. 90004 90002 The most important step in replacement is knowing what part of the door handle needs to be replaced. If it is something small, it may not be that obvious. Components such as springs or parts within a keyed lock cylinder can only be assessed for damage once the lock is taken apart.If you are unfamiliar with the mechanics of your particular lock, it can also be hard to diagnose what is not working, let alone fix door handles experiencing an issue. 90004 90046 Tools 90047 90054 90055 Phillips Head Screwdriver (if the handle is secured with screws) 90056 90055 Rose Catch Tool (if the screws are concealed under a rose plate) 90056 90055 A Rag or Piece of Cloth 90056 90055 Tweezers 90056 90055 Replacement part (s) 90056 90055 Door handle assembly information (any documentation about the handle set that is available) 90056 90075 90046 Process 90047 90078 90055 Expose the set screws on the door handle.90054 90055 If screws are already exposed, proceed to next step. 90056 90055 If the knob or rose plate itself is screwed on with threading on the hardware, there will be no screws to expose. 90056 90075 90056 90055 Take the handle off of the door. 90056 90055 Carefully take the handle apart. 90056 90055 Consult the information you have about your handle. 90054 90055 Juxtapose what you see in the handle with what your documentation says / shows. 90056 90075 90056 90055 Find missing or broken part (s).90054 90055 If you can not find the part (s) consult a professional. 90056 90055 Find the names of the parts in order to find replacement materials. 90056 90075 90056 90055 Replace old parts with new parts. 90054 90055 Pay attention to proper positioning and fit. 90056 90075 90056 90055 Attempt to actuate the door handle before re-installing it in the door. 90054 90055 Make sure that the latch bolt is retracting. 90056 90055 Rotation should be smooth. 90056 90075 90056 90055 Reassemble the door handle in the door.90056 90055 Tighten the screws. 90054 90055 If the knob or rose plate is threaded, turn the hardware to the right in order to fix door handles. 90056 90055 If an additional tool is needed to grip the handle so that torque can be applied effectively, place a cloth or rag over between the tool and the handle to prevent scuffing or damage to the finish. 90056 90075 90056 90055 Reinstall any covers. 90054 90055 If the screws were exposed already or the door handle assembly was rotated to fix the door handle, there will be no covers to reinstall.90056 90075 90056 90055 Test to make sure the door handle actuates the latch correctly. 90054 90055 If the door handle uses locking mechanism, test all the ways of locking. 90056 90075 90056 90155 90015 3. Tightening Connections 90016 90002 90249 90004 90046 Background 90047 90002 To fix door handles that are loose, you may be able to simply tighten the connections that have begun to wane. The looseness of a door handle can be due to the prolonged use of a particular entryway.Every rotation of the handle applies torque to the hardware, to fix door handles that are experiencing excessive torque, you need to refasten them to the same degree the handle has been destabilized. 90004 90002 This is a natural part of a door handle’s lifespan. As long as no parts of the door handle have broken, all you will need to do is tighten the connections that have loosened. The trick will be finding out how the handle is secured to the door. Finding this is the key to fix door handles with this issue.Once you know how the assembly is kept in place, the rest of the process is very simple. For more insight on how the handle is secured, refer to the section above on «Common Door Handle Types». 90004 90046 Tools 90047 90054 90055 Phillips Head Screwdriver (if the handle is secured with screws) 90056 90055 Rose Catch Tool (if the screws are concealed under a rose plate) 90056 90055 A Rag or Piece of Cloth 90056 90075 90046 Process 90047 90078 90055 Expose the set screws on the door handle.90054 90055 If screws are already exposed, proceed to next step. 90056 90055 If the knob or rose plate itself is screwed on with threading on the hardware, there will be no screws to expose. 90056 90075 90056 90055 Take the handle off of the door. 90056 90055 Check that all through screws are connecting between the two handles. 90054 90055 Reconnect any disconnected parts. 90056 90075 90056 90055 Reassemble the door handle in the door. 90056 90055 Tighten the screws. 90054 90055 If the knob or rose plate is threaded, turn the hardware to the right in order to fix door handles.90056 90055 If an additional tool is needed to grip the handle so that torque can be applied effectively, place a cloth or rag over between the tool and the handle to prevent scuffing or damage to the finish. 90056 90075 90056 90055 Reinstall any covers. 90054 90055 If the screws were exposed already or the door handle assembly was rotated to fix the door handle, there will be no covers to reinstall. 90056 90075 90056 90055 Test to make sure the door handle actuates the latch correctly.90054 90055 If the door handle uses locking mechanism, test all the ways of locking. 90056 90075 90056 90155 90015 4. Door Maintenance 90016 90046 Background 90047 90002 The door handle is not always the source of your trouble. Sometimes in order to fix door handles, you need to make adjustments on the door itself. Issues with the door can affect a door handle’s functionality. Everything from latches not locking to sticking door handles can be caused by a problem with the door. Most often the issue with the door is that it is misaligned.Doors naturally misalign as either the foundation of the property, the door, or the door frame, changes. 90004 90002 When doors lose their finish, the weather can cause them to change sizes. A buildup of moisture or even extreme dryness can incrementally affect the wood. Moving foundations can cause the bottom of entry ways to slant, interfering with how the door handles operate. To fix these issues, you can choose to work on the door and reshape it (removing wood until it fits in the doorway).In some cases, you can also adjust the strike plate on the door. Foundation issues should be addressed by a professional, but if the issues is with the deformation of the wooden door or frame, be sure to refinish the wood so that you can reduce the chances of needing to fix door handles in this way again. 90004 90046 Process 90047 90002 The type of work you will have to do can vary quite a bit. It is also very difficult for an untrained eye to make these types of assessments without a bit of trial and error.However, there are a few things to remember when you are trying to fix door handles in this way: 90004 90054 90055 Make measurements before you cut. 90056 90055 Sand down all areas that are cut until they are smooth. 90056 90055 Refinish the door and / or door frame after completing the work (especially after sanding). 90056 90055 Do not be afraid to remove the door to position yourself better with this work. 90056 90075 90015 5. Full Replacement 90016 90002 90334 90004 90046 Background 90047 90002 When the assembly is too damaged, you will not be able to fix the door handle with any of the methods mentioned above.A door handle beyond salvaging is mainly determined by one factor: Is the cost to fix a door handle worth the investment? This is an extremely important question because you can keep putting money into anything and continue to make fixes. These fixes may not last very long or they may be extremely expensive. In these cases, it will be best to fix door handles by fully replacing the existing assembly. This may lead to having to change door locks. 90004 90002 The most important consideration for fixing door handles this way is finding a replacement handle that will fit the door.Most residential and commercial doors will have a standard size, which corresponds to the available handles in a given market. You need to find out if you are the exception in your location by taking some simple measurements. If you need to fit the handles into a mortise lock, this is also worth knowing. Not every type of handle will fit with what you already have installed. Before you try to replace anything, make sure you know what you need. Even if you are intending to replace the door, or the current lockset, along with your broken door handle, be aware of what you need for replacements.90004 90046 Tools 90047 90054 90055 Replacement door handle 90056 90055 Phillips Head Screwdriver (if either door handle is secured with screws) 90056 90055 Rose Catch Tool (if the screws are concealed under a rose plate of either door handle) 90056 90055 New door handle installation instructions 90056 90075 90046 Process 90047 90078 90055 Expose the set screws on the door handle. 90054 90055 If screws are already exposed, proceed to next step. 90056 90055 If the knob or rose plate itself is screwed on with threading on the hardware, there will be no screws to expose.90056 90075 90056 90055 Take the handle off of the door. 90056 90055 Follow the installation instructions. 90054 90055 Do not tighten any screws fully. 90056 90055 When the door handle is in place tighten each screw one at a time. 90056 90055 Doing this will help to make sure there are no alignment issues with the new door handle. 90056 90075 90056 90055 Check the new door handle to see if it is working, without closing the door. 90056 90055 Close the door and test the door handle again.90054 90055 Improperly functioning new door handles have either been installed incorrectly, are not the proper fit for your needs, or point to the fact that the door handle was not the issue. 90056 90075 90056 90155 90015 6. Call a Locksmith 90016 90046 Background 90047 90002 If at first, you do not succeed, hire a professional before you hurt yourself. On a serious note, you should not attempt to do any work that you are not completely comfortable with.

At the same time pay attention to the direction of opening the doors. 90005 90002 Depending on the direction of opening the doors, the hinges and the lock are bought. However, for most modern locks for interior doors, the direction of opening them does not matter, since the lock tongue can always be rearranged to the desired position.It should also be borne in mind that some locks are «tied» to the thickness of the door leaf. You should pay attention to this. 90005 90014 COLLECT THE DOOR BOX 90015 90002 In this example, the installation of the door frame is of a slightly smaller thickness than the thickness of the partition into which the door is built.

To ensure that the screws do not crack when the screws are screwed in, the guide holes are pre-drilled in the latter. 90024 90023 Having installed the doorstep, the box is placed in the opening and fixed from above and below.90024 90023 Spacing wedges for fixing the door frame in the opening are used in pairs. This allows you to expose the door frame in the doorway, without distorting its individual elements. The better the wedges, the easier it is to work with them. 90024 90023 Knock wedges installed in the gaps between the door frame and the partition, light hammer blows. 90024 90023 After wedging, check the level of the position of all the details of the door frame. At the same time, it is necessary to control whether the parts have not bent.If necessary, adjust the position of the door frame with wedges. 90024 90023 Having convinced of the correctness of the installation of the door frame, drill holes near the wedges in the racks for screws. The box is fastened with screws to the partition. 90024 90023 Finally check the rectangularity of the door frame. Equal diagonals indicate that the right angles are sustained. You can hang the door leaf. 90024 90023 After hanging the door leaf on the hinges, attach the counter part of the door lock to the rack of the box.Slice it in the same way as the door hinges. 90024 90039 90002 90003 FINISH OPERATIONS 90004 90005 90022 90023 Cut off the protruding parts of the wedges. Here it is better to use a hand tool, since it needs to be done very carefully, so as not to damage the door frame. 90024 90023 Applying an overlay and a measuring ruler, specify a necessary width of doborov. Measurements are done in several places and necessarily — at the corners of the door frame. 90024 90023 If there are no ready-made dobors of the right size, then they can be cut from a wide planed board, matched to the door frame in color and texture.Then manually cut the parts of the desired width along the guide with a circular saw. The width of the gates must be adjusted carefully. 90024 90023 If you want to increase the thickness of the dope, a bar of the appropriate size is nailed from the back side of it. Install the assembled pick-up in place and attach it to the box with screws. 90024 90023 Platbands are desirable to be installed not flush with the edges of the drills, but a little away from them. 90024 90039 90014 A few tips for self-installation of interior doors 90015 90058 90023 If the experience of carpentry is small, it is better to entrust the installation of an expensive door to a professional.90024 90023 The easiest way to fix the door frame when the partition is wooden. In this case, when installing the door frame, you can do only with screws. If the partition is brick or concrete, you will also need a suitable dowel. Always use the proper fastening. 90024 90063 90002 90003 More on the point 7 90004 90005 90002 A — To fix the box in the doorway, use wooden or plastic wedges. 90005 90002 B — There must be clearances 2-3 between the box installed in the opening and the partition.This is sufficient for installing the locking wedges. 90005 90002 Q — It is better if the threshold that is part of the door frame block is made of hardwood. Then it will last longer. 90005 90002 D — The upper loop is set at a distance of 15-20 cm 90005 90002 from the top edge of the door frame, and the bottom — at a distance of 20-25 cm from the bottom edge of the door leaf. The recesses for the loops are selected by the chisel along the outlined contour to a depth exactly corresponding to the thickness of the loop map.The loops themselves must be fixed so that the heads of the screws do not protrude over the loop card. 90005 90002 According to the materials of the magazine for craftsmen, the master himself 90005 90002 90005 90014 Note: How to choose the right door 90015 90002 Look at the door. 90005 90002 Do you think it unites or shares space? There are only three standard answers to this question. Meanwhile, the doors are made so different … 90005 90002 So, one door is needed to seclude, others — to have access to the next room.The third reasonably indicate: it is important that both. For better privacy, reliable sound insulation is needed, a dull, full-blown cloth that fits snugly around the box all around the perimeter. To create a feeling of open space, preference for light-transmitting structures — glazed or fully glass. When you combine the kitchen or hallway with the living room, the door in general can be quite conditional, like the wall in which the opening is made … What exactly should the door be in your case? 90005 90090 Life without a door — unbuttoned 90091 90002 The popularity level is held by a swinging door, that is, opening onto itself or from itself.Its design is known from ancient times. The box is the base, securely fastened in the opening of the partition and with the help of two hinge loops keeps the canvas, allowing it to open in one direction and close in the opposite direction. 90005 90002 Doors as in the metro, opening on both sides relative to the plane of the wall, are called swinging. They are equipped with special hinges on springs, characterized by high throughput and in housing construction are used extremely rarely. 90005 90090 Doors like a wall 90091 90002 Sliding doors and partitions are popular along with swing doors.To their indisputable advantage is the possibility of saving space, which is extremely important in small apartments. When you open the door, the sliding door moves along the wall or goes into the wall, a preset pencil. Penal, of course, takes away part of the area, and its construction is possible only at the repair stage, but the arrangement of furniture is possible on all sides near the door. 90005 90002 Save space and allow a collapsible door. Its cloth consists of two or more parts, connected by loops.When you open the parts are folded accordion. 90005 90014 Solid door leaf 90015 90002 A full-glass sliding or swinging door is a canvas made of a safe to use tempered glass that is difficult to break and impossible to cut. 90005 90002 Passing the light, the door improves the natural illumination of the premises, usually a corridor or hall. The matte coating makes the glass opaque, so that privacy is maintained. Sound insulation of this door provides a solid glass thickness, more than 8 mm, and a sealing circuit.90005 90002 In order to ensure the rigidity of the design, the glass fabric often frames the aluminum casing. 90005 90002 Paste into frame 90005 90002 Interior doors have a frame or panel construction. The frame consists of a frame and filling inserts. So, for example, paneled models with a bandage from a file are arranged. In the design, combinations of inserts are possible: wood, glass, chipboard with laminated coating and other materials. The cloth of the panel door can be both homogeneous and skeleton.A homogeneous web is glued from sheet materials or bars with subsequent finishing. But most often between the two sheets of plywood, chipboard or MDF is a rack structure, and voids are filled with honeycomb soundproof material. This design protects well from the penetration of noise, which is especially important for bedrooms and children’s rooms. The exterior finish can be very different. 90005 90014 Nuances of finishing interior doors 90015 90002 Manufacturers widely use synthetic materials: glossy film coating, laminate and cortex.90005 90002 Unlike natural wood, «synthetics» is slightly susceptible to mechanical influences, easy to care for and relatively cheap. Laminate and cortex also perfectly imitate the pattern of any natural material. 90005 90002 In general, the demand uses a wooden texture, including an imitation of brashing (when from the surface of the wood, literally combing out soft fibers). 90005 90002 Along with the all-wooden doors, as a rule of the frame construction, the finish is applied with natural veneer.Externally, a thin layer of wood coating does not differ from the array, but the whole construction is easier and more resistant to buckling. 90005 90002 Opening in the design 90005 90002 Along with the standard solutions, there are bright non-ordinary options. The modern interior door can become an interior decoration or invisible, like a chameleon. At the factory, chameleon models are primed for painting, finishing finishing is done after installation. The possibilities of large-format printing allow you to put any photo or picture on the door leaf.The glass cloth also lets light from room to room and acts as an unusual source of illumination. Most of all glass doors fit the hi-tech style. All the features of the design: hinges or roller mechanisms, accessories — are in sight and willy-nilly support the style of high technology. 90005 90002 Golden Handles 90005 90002 Most often in the interior doors set the handle with a push or a pivot mechanism. The outer parts of the pressure handles are L-shaped levers. Two arms are connected by a faceted rod passing through the web.You press — the rod turns and opens the latch. In rotary models, the lever effort is performed by turning the disc or ball. Such models are compact, but less convenient. 90005 90002 Stationary handles (without a locking mechanism) are designed only for opening and closing the blade. These are now being chosen less often. Sliding doors are equipped with other opening devices: for example, frames or slats with recesses for fingers. They, as a rule, are assembled in the manufacture of linen. 90005 90002 90135 What are the door hinges 90136 90005 90058 90023 90003 Slip-on patch 90004.They consist of two parts and allow you to remove the door from the hinges. In the case of detachable loops, you need to determine between left and right execution. 90024 90023 90003 Overhead one-piece (reversible) 90004. To remove the canvas from one-piece loops, it is required to unscrew the screws. But the one-piece loop is universal: it allows you to hang the canvas on either side of the opening. 90024 90023 90003 Mortise 90004. Similar to overhead, but installed in pre-prepared grooves.90024 90023 90003 Screw-in 90004. They are attached to the threaded pins, which are screwed into the end of the blade and the box. They are used in the doors with a vestibule. 90024 90023 90003 Hidden 90004. When the door is closed, not visible. Their hinged part in the protective case cuts into the box and connects to the cloth with the U-shaped lever. When you close the sash, the lever goes into the groove of the box. 90024 90023 90003 Italian 90004. They are attached not from the side, but from above and below the canvas.The opening side can be selected during the installation process. 90024 90063 90014 Doors on rollers 90015 90002 For the movement route and the smoothness of the sliding door, the roller mechanism, the locking element and the guide flag are responsible. Rollers of the mechanism ride themselves on a rail located in the upper support beam, and sometimes in the ceiling. The number of doors of this door is from one to four. However, the design, consisting of more than one leaf and width of 3 m, is considered a sliding partition.90005 90002 The doors of lower rolling (when the guide rail and moving rollers are installed in the floor) are used extremely rarely. First, the excess unevenness of the floor conceals the potential danger of injury. Secondly, dirt accumulates in the rail cavity, and from time to time there are obstacles to the movement. 90005 90170 90002 On a note: 90005 90002 90174 If the door should be neutral, stop the selection on the white linen. White, as we know, combined with any color fantasies.The door to the color of the floor or furniture is also an unmistakable and cost-effective solution. Adherents of the classical interior recommend to stop their choice on panel models. The modern interior is closer to smooth linens. 90175 90005 90177 90178 90014 90003 Correct installation of the interior door with your own hands 90004 90015 90002 Often people, buying good interior doors, trust their installation to non-specialists. And as a result they get problems: the canvas wedges in the box, the locks and pens work badly, the appearance is bad, etc.But in general, the process of installing the door is not complicated, and knowing the basic rules, you can manage this job yourself. 90005 90002 90003 Opening 90004 90005 90002 As practice shows, this moment is very rarely given due attention, but in vain. The correct geometric shape of the opening and the exact dimensions, even vertical planes — is already half the battle (photo 1). Otherwise, different kinds of problems are inevitable. 90005 90002 Often, errors occur even at the design stage of the opening and the selection of the right size of the door leaf.To date, the standard sizes of canvases are considered to be: width 600, 700, 800, 900 mm and height 2000 mm. At the same time, the width of the opening should exceed the width of the fabric by 60-100 mm, and the height of the opening from the level of the clean floor (finishing flooring) is 2060-2080 mm. 90005 90002 90003 Accessories fittings 90004 90005 90002 The cutting of locks, hinges and other fittings requires special care and painstaking calculations, otherwise it is easy to damage the appearance of the door.And the premature deterioration of the mechanisms is often a phenomenon. 90005 90002 For inserting ordinary loops and simple locks, quite a couple of sharp chisels, a drill, a knife-cutter and a hammer are enough. But for more complex work, in particular the installation and insertion of loops of complex shapes, you will need a router. They, however, can also cut conventional loops, which significantly speeds up the process and improves the quality of the frame. 90005 90002 When installing the door, I position the hinges at a distance 200 mm from the upper and lower end of the door leaf.I cut the upper and lower contour of the loop with a sharp cutter; I mark the side edge with a pencil. I adjust the side stop of the router in such a way that the edge of the cutter is on the pencil mark. Then with a milling cutter I choose the seat for the loop without reaching the 1-1,5 mm to the notch line, the corner is leveled with a chisel. Then I put in a loop, check the strength and drill the holes for the screws. 90005 90002 At once I would like to mention also about such a moment as the correct connection of the rack of the box and the crossbar.Almost all modern boxes have a radius section, wrong coupling of the side racks and the upper crossbar lead to the result, as in the photo (photo 4 and 5). 90005 90002 Profile boxes are best combined with a «good deal». The easiest way to do this is with a miter saw, the cutting will be clean and precise. 90005 90002 The box is connected by screws, pre-drilled holes perpendicular to the cutting line. The width of the upper crossbar should be at 5-6 mm wider than the door leaf. 90005 90002 In the box of the hinge I cut in the same way as in the door, but with a little nuance.The door leaf is laid on the rib with loops upwards, I place the rack on top so that the upper section of the post is shifted by 2-3 mm relative to the upper end of the web, thereby forming the upper gap. 90005 90002 After that, I carry the labels of the upper and lower borders of the loop to the stand. While the stand lies on the canvas, you need to make sure that the sealant is firmly attached to the canvas, whether there is curvature. The distance from the side of the loop to the seal is best made at 0,5 mm more than on the canvas.After the frame, it is necessary to check the accuracy of the fit, putting the back of the stand on the sheet, having previously fastened the hinges to the web (photo 2 and 3). On the stand I carry the label of the lower edge of the door leaf, then it will be used as a starting point for forming a gap between the canvas and the floor. 90005 90002 For ease of inserting the hinges in the box, you can make a simple device (photo 6). 90005 90002 To lock the lock you will need a pair of chisels, two 16 and 20 fountain drills, a drill, a sharp knife and, if there is, a milling cutter — it is more convenient for them to choose a pad for the front flange of the lock.Then, having marked out, drill a hole on the 16 to the depth of the lock and align it with a chisel. If you do everything carefully, you can avoid this. 90005 90002 90003 Mounting the door frame 90004 90005 90002 The collected box with the help of wedges fix in the opening. At this stage, I check the horizontalness of the upper crossbar and correct it, if necessary. You need to start with the loopback; with the help of wedges, I expose it on the level in two planes and fix it with screws. The second rack aligns on the already hung canvas.Having achieved a close fit without gaps and cracks, the canvas to the seal is also fixed with self-tapping screws. To fill the gaps between the door frame and the wall I use a professional mounting foam — it expands less if compared with ordinary foam, and therefore does not cause deformation of the box. 90005 90002 As for the platbands, the straight lines are connected at right angles. The classic way of conjugating the cuffs of radius and curved is considered to be the connection «in the face» (photo 7 and 8).90005 90170 90002 90227 On a note: 90228 90005 90002 90227 It is very important to measure each door leaf separately, since even seemingly identical at first glance the canvas actually differ in size by 1-5 mm. For example, the width of one canvas is 801 mm. Hence, the width of the upper crossbar should be 806-807 mm. And the second cloth can be a width of 798 mm, respectively, the crossbar should be made with a width of 803-804 mm. 90228 90005 90177 90014 90003 Correct installation of the interior door: photos of the nuances of the installation 90004 90015 90002 90005 90002 © V.Kochmaruk, master installer of doors 90005 90178 90014 Installation of interior doors with their own hands — tips and experience of readers 90015 90178 90090 How I installed the interior door 90091 90002 FROM THE PREVIOUS HOUSEHOLD APARTMENTS, WE HAVE GOTTEN US IN A HEAVY CONDITION, AND I HAVE DECIDED THE FIRST TIME TO REPLACE THE INTERMEDIATE DOORS FULLY. And in order to save a little, all works on their installation were done by themselves, without the assistance of specialists. 90005 90002 90003 Box installation 90004 90005 90002 After making the necessary measurements, I ordered doors together with boxes in the store.After delivery, proceeded to the installation, which consisted of several stages: the assembly of the box and its installation, the hanging of the door leaf, the installation of the additional element and platbands. 90005 90002 I assembled the box, fixing all the details with screws. Then, with the help of wedges, fixed its upper part in the opening. Before fixing the bottom of the box, aligned the loop side in two planes using the building level. Fit the width at the top and bottom of the box, taking into account 5 mm on the gaps: the width of the door leaf in my case is 800 mm, which means that the distance between the sidewalls should be 805 mm.Using wedges, he fixed both sides of the box and installed a spacer between them. 90005 90002 90003 We hang the canvas 90004 90005 90002 Hanging the door leaf, checked the level, whether the door closes evenly. Then I installed in the box additional transverse struts just below the handle and at the level of the upper loop. In the slightly open position, the door must not open or close spontaneously. The place where the box was connected to the wall was fixed with mounting foam. For a reliable grip, sprinkled the opening with water from the spray gun.90005 90002 Left the box in this condition until the foam is completely dry (at least 12 hours). Then he cut off the wedges without reaching for them, removed the spacers and carefully cut the protruding foam with a knife. 90005 90170 90002 90227 Important! 90228 90005 90002 90227 When installing the box, the upper wedges need to be inserted at the joint level of the transverse and the edge parts (in the corners). 90228 90005 90177 90002 90003 Dobor and trims 90004 90005 90002 Measuring the gap between the box and the wall, cut off the additional plank of the desired size with a jigsaw.I inserted the element into the groove and stuck it in several points. In the case when the width of the standard pre-boron element (230 mm) is not enough to completely cover the width of the opening, use a connecting bar (sold in the building store), which can be «linked» to several elements . 90005 90002 Having determined the necessary length of the clypeus, cut the workpieces with a hacksaw and a chair at an angle of 45 degrees. Secure the trim to the final nails, pre-drilled holes for them d 1,5 mm.90005 90170 90002 90227 By the way 90228 90005 90002 90227 Foam can damage the lacquer on the box, so before filling it is better to glue the surface of the box with paint tape. When drying the foam increases in volume several times, this must be taken into account during installation. 90228 90005 90177 90002 © Author: Vladimir Yakushev, Kurgan 90005 90178 90014 Installation of interior doors with your own hands — video 90015 90178 90301 90302 TOOLS FOR MASTERS AND MASTERS, AND HOME GOODS ARE VERY CHEAP.FREE SHIPPING.

Box bars and platbands were taken from the same materials. Of course, all this was not without flaws: the forms turned out to be imperfect, and the film in the places of cuts began to flake off and bully. But the shortcomings were partly compensated by a decent appearance.And if you take into account that I did not save too much on hardware, it’s not surprising that the end result was quite acceptable. The first doors I 90003 tried to install one’s own hands according to the instructions 90004 — with cutting hinges, under which were to be hidden the fastening of the box, with minimum gaps and so on. But, when it was the turn to the third door, I decided that it’s not worth it to be tormented with cheap doors. As at me the own algorithm of installation has already ripened.90005 90006 Mounting the door frame with your own hands 90007 90008 90002 Work began with the preparation of block bars, which for the interior door usually consists of two vertical racks and one horizontal — lintel. He marked the bars, applying them to the door on the floor. Measuring the length is not at the edge of the bar, but at the edge of the quarter. The gap between the blade and the edge of the quarter was left from three sides by 3 mm, and under the door — 20 mm. Really there will be one and a half centimeters, because in the next room a laminate is mounted — and under the door there will be nails, covering its edge.90005 90011 90002 Read also: About how to make a panel door yourself read here 90005 90011 90002 Racks I sawed off in two steps — first the upper edge of the use (at an angle of 45 degrees), and then the bottom edge, specifying the length, — at right angles. The lintel was sawed from both sides by a whisker. I sawed in the stove. Before you start to saw at an angle, did a small sip perpendicular to the surface — spent two or three times on the workpiece with a hacksaw. In this case, the angled blade at cutting (especially in the first moments) does not slip.Without preliminary drilling, it is not recommended to screw the screws into MDF blocks: the bars can break, and if they do not, the screws will move apart the details — and a tight joint will not work. I drilled holes 0 3,5 mm and screwed into them self-cutters 0 3,5 x 40 mm. At installation of a box in an aperture too it has not done without zasverlivanija. First, I made shallow blind holes 0 10 mm (to hide the heads of screws in them), and then drilled through them through holes 0 3,5 mm. The first thing I did was to make a lintel, pushing it flush against the wall from the side of one of the rooms.Then he put in two planes the rack of the box, on which there will be door hinges, and screwed it, starting from the top. The bar of the box is quite flexible, so it took five fixing points to straighten it. He straightened with screws, tightening or releasing them. Wedge did not use for leveling. 90005 90011 90002 Reference by topic: Insulated (warm) door with own hands 90005 90011 90002 So, for this moment I had a leveled and firmly fixed rack on which loops would be attached; lintel, baited on two screws; loose second rack.90005 90006 Hanging the canvas with your own hands 90007 90008 90002 I chose butterfly-type loops for my door: they do not require tie-in, which simplifies the job, and the extra cutouts would lead to additional scuffing of the film coating. When folding such a loop, one of its sides (the card) gets into the cutout of the second, so that the thickness of the folded loop is half that of the loops of other structures, and the gap between the door frame and the door is minimal. «Butterflies» are not folding, so removing the door from the loops simply does not work, you have to unscrew the loop.Hinges are usually fastened at a distance of 20 cm from the lintel and floor. So I did. It is somewhat more difficult to determine the depth of attachment of the hinge to the canvas, on which it depends how tightly the door in the box will sit. If the door is too pressed against the box, then due to the elasticity of the seal it will be constantly slightly opened. If the canvas is slightly pressed against the box, there will be a gap. To understand the depth of the loop on the canvas, I first identified it on the box bar.To do this, put a loop to the rack so that its wing slightly touches the seal, and measured the amount of the protrusion beyond the outer edge of the box. It turned out to be 3 mm. Hence, and on the canvas the loop should protrude by 3 mm. To achieve this, I used pads of the same thickness. For this purpose, two door hinges from the other set came up, which (I had to ask my wife to hold them), I installed the hinges on the linen, then screwed the hinges to the post and finally fixed the lintel and the second frame of the frame.When the box was fixed, filled the voids around it with mounting foam. Used a foam with a low coefficient of expansion and put it in several passes, so that when expanding, the foam does not burst the box. 90005 90006 Latches and handles 90007 90008 90002 To fix the door, I chose a magnetic latch. Since it has fewer rubbing parts, then the noise from it is less. However, this sound can not be called silent either: when the tongue falls into the receiving groove, you hear a knock on its bottom.To muffle the sound, the manufacturer glued a fleecy cloth into the groove, but it is clearly not enough. First of all, I drilled a hole in the door leaf to drown the latch mechanism in it. Then I inserted a latch into it and planned a place for the overhead strip and the hole for the square.

When this happens, everything should be replaced. It’s not difficult using a prehung door. This type of door can be purchased at any home improvement store and comes ready to install with the jamb, hinges and hardware assembled into a single unit.Door sizes are standardized, and it’s simple to choose one that will fit perfectly into almost any interior door opening. 90003 90002 Insert the tip of a flat pry bar behind the trim around the door. There are three pieces. Pop them off to reveal a gap between the jamb and the wall framing at the top and on both sides. Pull out any nails using diagonal pliers. Set the trim aside to use later. 90003 90002 Tap out all of the wooden shims at random intervals around the perimeter of the door between the jamb and the stud framing.Use a hammer and the tip of a screwdriver to drive out the shims. Collect them to use when you install the new door. 90003 90002 Insert the blade of a reciprocating saw between the jamb and the stud framing. Turn it on and slide it around the both sides and at the top to cut any nails that are holding the jamb to the framing. Pull the door and doorjamb out of the opening. 90003 90002 Stand the replacement door and doorjamb unit inside the opening. Place a level on both sides to help get it vertically straight in the opening.Tap one of the cedar shims that you removed earlier (or use new shims) on both sides to secure it inside the opening. Begin tapping in shims on both sides and at the top. Alternate tapping in wedges from side to side so that the gap on both sides remain the same. 90003 90002 Open and shut the door a few times. If the door sticks in the jamb, remove or add shims on either side until the door shuts and closes smoothly. 90003 90002 Shoot 2 1/2-inch finish nails through the doorjamb into the stud framing at the top and bottom.Space them every 8 inches. Shoot the nails as close to the doorstop as possible. The doorstop is a beveled piece of wood that stops the door on one side. 90003 90002 Place the trim back on the sides that you removed it from. There will be a line on the paint to indicate where to put it. Insert 1 + 1/4-inch finish nails in the existing nail holes in the trim and nail all three pieces on with hammer. Drive the nail heads slightly below the surface of the wood, using the hammer and a nail set. 90003 90002 Fill the nail holes with wood putty using a putty knife if you plan on finishing or painting the door later.If the door has been previously finished, use a putty crayon to fill the holes. 90003.
