Until recently, installing interior doors with your own hands was quite a difficult task and required serious experience and skills from a person. Now everything has become much easier, having a good tool and knowing the procedure for installing interior doors, any House master able to finish work in a day. Next, we will show you step by step how to install it correctly. interior door two ways.
Options for interior doors.
Before installing an interior door, you must first select it. When choosing, there are 2 main criteria - the size of the structure and the material from which the doors and the frame to them are actually made.
Material selection
It is not so important to install the interior door in wooden house or in a room in a city high-rise building, the design must not only be beautiful, but also reliable, and this primarily depends on the material.
Fiberboard is perhaps the most common option. The design is a hollow box closed on both sides with thin fiberboard sheets and based on a frame made of wooden blocks.
There is no need to rush to install such a door; it is, of course, light and cheap, and it may look quite decent, but the reliability is not all right; such a structure can even be broken with your fist, plus there is a high probability that in a couple of years it will begin to delaminate.
MDF is golden mean between cheap fiberboard and good wooden structure. The array is dense, durable, and most importantly completely environmentally friendly. Self-installation interior laminated MDF panels at home is an excellent solution if there is no money for installers, and beautiful door I want to.
The MDF canvas must be laminated with high quality, then it will not be visually different from wood.
Natural wood - traditionally it is believed that installation wooden doors this is the most the best option, but this is wrong, here you need to look at the quality and manufacturer. Believe me, sometimes it is better to install interior doors from good MDF laminate, rather than take a damp pine tree, which will fail in six months.
At the time of buying wooden canvases the quality of the forest must be carefully assessed.
If you decide to change interior doors and you have a high-quality wooden panel, then you don’t have to touch it, you can only replace the panel. In this case, the technology for installing interior doors will be much simpler.
GOSTs, tolerances and unclear issues
The size of the doorway for installation is perhaps the most important of the initial parameters. To this day, all such designs are made according to Soviet GOST standards; by the way, the Chinese also focus on these dimensions, but in Europe, despite the supposedly uniform standard, many countries do it their own way.
So if our minimum blade width starts from 600 mm and then in increments of 100 mm, it reaches 900 mm, then France produces blades starting from 690 mm, but the graduation also occurs in increments of 100 mm.
Germany, Spain and Italy, as well as all countries of the former socialist camp, in this regard are guided by almost the same standards as our manufacturers.
Interior doors have clear standards that need to be checked before installing an interior door yourself.
As for tolerances, a gap of 3 mm is left on the sides and top between the box and the canvas itself. According to the rules, there must be at least 20 mm between the floor and the canvas. This gap is needed for normal ventilation in the apartment.
Along the perimeter of the frame in block buildings, you can leave any gap, up to several millimeters, the main thing is that the frame is level, but if we cut doors in a wooden house with our own hands, then we set the tolerance to at least 15 mm, it is needed in case the house fails shrinkage
When choosing an interior door, installation is the last stage, before this you need to read the description in detail, because the price can be indicated depending on the configuration, there are 3 options:
- Only the door leaf is sold - this option is good if the door is planned to be installed on an old frame;
- The canvas is sold together with the box, but the box comes disassembled; here, even before installing the interior door with your own hands, you will have to cut it to size and assemble the box, which in most cases is even good;
- Fully assembled blocks with a finished frame, canvas, locks and hinges are installed only if preparation of the opening is not required. There it is enough to cut the racks to the height and install the interior door yourself.
Do not forget that it is not enough just to install interior doors in the opening, complete installation The design of an interior door involves the arrangement of platbands, extensions (if necessary) and fittings, so it is also advisable to take them right away, otherwise the shade may not be suitable later.
Installation of interior doors will not be complete without platbands and fittings.
There is one more important question– when to install interior doors during renovation? So, the instructions for installing interior doors say that such structures are installed at the very end of the renovation, after finishing the walls, floor and ceiling, but before installing the floor skirting boards.
Two mounting options
We’ve sorted out the dimensional tolerances and other pressing issues, now it’s time to find out how to install an interior door yourself. But to assemble and install the structure, we need a tool.
A few words about the instrument and accompanying material
To install interior doors we need:
- A hacksaw for wood, but ideally it is better to have a miter saw, it does not leave chips, plus you can set the exact cutting angle;
- To create openings between the frame and the wall, wedges are required;
- Hammer;
- Chisel;
- Screwdriver;
- Electric drill;
- Plumb;
- Level;
- Pencil;
- Roulette.
Install an interior door yourself without good tool unreal.
Important! Safety regulations strictly prohibit cutting wood with a grinder. If you value your health, don't even think about it.
Auxiliary materials for installing doors will be needed:
- Polyurethane foam;
- Masking tape;
- Self-tapping screws different sizes and sections;
- Anchor bolts with dowels.
Preparing the opening
Ideally, before installing an interior door, the edges of the walls should be, if not plastered, then at least leveled with cement-sand mortar.
But in real conditions, preparing a doorway for installing an interior door ends with adjusting the dimensions to fit the frame, because then the unflattering cracks will foam and be covered with platbands, so there is no point in creating special beauty.
It is advisable to level the doorway before installing the frame.
There's one here important point: often the installation of a double interior door requires widening the opening, so when it comes to partitions, they can be “redrawn” as you see fit. But if the wall is load-bearing, then a slight expansion of no more than 5–7 cm is allowed, otherwise there may be problems both with the wall and with the law.
Box assembly
You can assemble a door frame with your own hands in two ways - by cutting the corners of the top strip at 45º and joining the strips at right angles. Both methods are good, but it is believed that an angular connection at 45º will look more elegant.
Really high-quality corner trimming can only be done with the help of a trimmer; if they assure you that an ordinary plastic miter box and a hacksaw for wood will do for this, don’t believe it, it can ruin the boxes that were made.
The vertical posts are cut first at 45º, after which you can proceed to trimming the upper horizontal strip. In order to set aside 3 mm, it is convenient to use a piece of fiberboard as a template.
We measure the gap relative to the top bar with a template.
- You place the top strip cut on one side and move it along the cut of the template;
- Then go to the opposite side of the door and, using the same template, mark the cutting line.
Trimming the top strip at an angle using a trim saw.
Now we lay out the finished, trimmed frame strips on the floor and once again control the dimensions.
This is what a door frame looks like cut at an angle.
- The box is fastened in stages. First you need to tightly connect the planks together the way they should be;
- When screwing in the screws, the frame slats may crack. To prevent this from happening, before assembling, we need to drill channels for the screws. This is done with a 2.5 mm drill (our self-tapping screw is 3.5 mm);
Preparing to fasten the box.
- Now you can screw the screws into the ends of the box on both sides, and there should be 2 screws on each side of the corner.
There is a small nuance here; the vertical strip of the box to which the hinges will be attached does not need to be fully tightened on both sides; we will still have to remove it.
Fixation of the box with cutting at an angle.
If you don’t have a miter saw in your arsenal, then it is better to attach the frame slats at a right angle. It may not be as aesthetically pleasing, but the step-by-step instructions will be somewhat simpler.
We start by trying on the top cross member; we will embed it between the two side posts. Some craftsmen mount the crossbar above the side posts, there is not much difference, here it’s more convenient for everyone.
Along the perimeter of the frame we have a side, into which the door leaf rests when closing. To embed the top cross member on the side posts we need to remove this side. To do this, we attach the upper cross member to the rack, mark it, cut the side with a hacksaw, and clean the place for installation.
Now all we have to do is insert the top bar between the two side posts, drill holes for a pair of screws and secure the inserted bar with self-tapping screws.
If you decide to place the strip on top of the racks, then you will need to trim the inner edge to top bar, then drill and drive the screws from above, as shown in the diagram below.
Do-it-yourself installation of a plank placed on top.
Installing hinges and handles
For a door, installing hinges is one of the most important stages. In principle, you can embed a lock and attach hinges after installing the frame in the opening, but if you are installing the doors yourself (without help), then it is better to do this right away.
Loops can be overhead or hidden. It’s easier to work with overhead butterfly hinges, since you don’t need to cut anything in the door leaf and frame, so we’ll start with them.
A little advice: if the door should open on the right side, then you insert the hinges on the right; accordingly, for left-side opening, the hinges need to be attached to the left post.
Installation of hinges begins with markings on the canvas itself. According to the rules, the distance from the top or bottom point of the canvas to the loop should be 200 - 250 mm. You can measure with a tape measure, as in the photo below, but if you don’t have a tape measure at hand, then use the loops themselves, there standard size equal to 100 mm.
We make markings for installing hinges.
Don’t get confused: the small (inner) part of the butterfly hinge is attached to the door leaf, and the large part is attached to the frame post. Before screwing in the screws, you need to drill holes under them, only after that the screws are driven in.
All hinges have recesses for the screw heads, so make sure that these recesses “look” up. If the hinges are installed the other way around, the heads of the screws will remain above the hinges, and therefore the doors will not close completely.
Drill holes for butterfly hinges.
We have the box almost assembled, now we put it on the floor and put the door leaf inside. As you remember, we should have 3 mm around the perimeter of the canvas, so we immediately insert as many homemade fiberboard templates (3 mm thick) between the box and the canvas as possible.
One part of the loop is screwed to the canvas; to screw the second part of the loop to the box, we make a mark on the box. Next, unscrew the self-tapping screws securing the supporting vertical bar and screw the mating part of the hinges to it. Then we return the box strip to its place and fix it completely.
Screw the loops to vertical rack boxes
Installing hidden hinges yourself is not much more complicated than the method described above. The difference is that you need to cut grooves for the hinges in the door leaf and frame. This is done using a mallet, chisel and knife.
Cutting grooves for mounting hidden hinges
As for installing a door handle, you can read about this in detail and also watch the video in this article. And don’t forget that the hinges must be lubricated; you can learn about lubrication rules.
There are different methods for installing interior doors in a wall opening, it all depends on the specific conditions. Next we will look at the simplest and most popular options.
Method number 1. Classic
At the moment, the frame posts should be cut to the height of the opening, the hinges and lock should be cut in, the door should be closed, and 3 mm thick templates should be inserted between the door leaf and the frame.
When door block inserted into the opening, first of all, wooden or plastic wedges are driven around the perimeter; they will hold the block until it is finally secured.
Classic scheme for installing interior doors using wedges.
Fixing is a rather important moment; here we position the block vertically and horizontally. Keep in mind: the wall is not always strictly vertical, so check the box with a plumb line.
It is better to check the vertical by plumb.
To prevent the door block from falling out from a strong push, it must be firmly secured with anchor bolts or at least long self-tapping screws. We recommend using anchor bolts thickness 6 – 8 mm.
The principle is simple:
- Drill a through hole in the box and lightly drill into the wall;
- Remove the door block and drill holes for dowels at the drilling points;
- Place the box in place and secure it with anchors. The box should be clearly level, since we have already verified everything before.
If you fix the box with long self-tapping screws, then they are installed around the entire perimeter at intervals of half a meter, but the heads of the screws need to be hidden somehow. They can be covered with a decorative strip or plastic covers.
Anchor bolts are powerful things and 3 points are enough to fix the box - two points under the hinges and one under the lock plate. In combination with polyurethane foam, this is enough.
Now we fill the perimeter of the box with polyurethane foam. We move from the bottom up, the foam needs to be blown out without fanaticism, because when it expands it can squeeze out the door frame.
Plus, at the time of blowing in the foam, the door block must be assembled and three-millimeter templates must be inserted around the perimeter, this will protect the frame from deformation.
Remember: the door block cannot be mounted only on “bare” foam (without screws or anchors).
Method number 2. Metal hangers
If fastening the box with self-tapping screws or anchors is not suitable for you, the same can be done using metal hangers. These hangers are used for mounting frames under drywall.
Using hangers to fix the door frame.
The technology is similar:
- Assemble the box;
- Insert the box into the opening and level it;
- Fix the box with wedges in the opening;
- Bend the wings of the hangers along the wall;
- Mark the entry points of the dowel-nails and drill holes for them;
- Attach the wings of the hangers to the walls with dowel nails;
- Fill it with foam and wait for it to harden.
The size of the frame for double-leaf interior doors is twice as large, which means there is a higher probability of the posts and crossbars being squeezed out by foam, so installation on hangers is optimal here.

Conclusion
Both of the above methods have been tested in practice and work perfectly. For the same craftsmen who want to install interior sliding doors we have prepared step by step instructions.
Installing interior doors with your own hands is not as difficult as it seems.
An interior door serves to divide the space in a room and also provides sound insulation in a private house or apartment. In addition, the door leaf is important detail interior, therefore it must correspond to the design style. Because installation work are quite expensive, the question arises of how to properly install interior doors with your own hands. The answer is in the detailed step-by-step instructions outlined on this page.
Dimensions and equipment
Depending on the opening method, doors can be folding, sliding or swinging. The latter are the most popular because they are structurally simplest and fairly easy to install. They are presented in a large number of modifications. According to the opening method, the following are distinguished:
- double-leaf and single-leaf;
- left- and right-sided.
Step 3: Installing the box and hanging the canvas
The box must be installed in a pre-prepared opening. The hinged post must be leveled first using a plumb line or level. It is imperative to check it from all sides. Then the top crossbar and the stand must be spread apart with wedges. The stand will only be exposed when it is in a vertical position.
Next, wedge the second rack. Be sure to check the horizontal part of the box.
The old way – side racks must be drilled through. To do this, holes for dowels are initially made in the wall. The box must be attached to the wall with self-tapping screws no less than 150 mm long.
Old method of fastening In order to fix the box in the opening in a hidden way, you can use metal plates, which are usually used for installation plasterboard structures. Most often, such plates are used together with anchors. In this case, it is worth choosing the number of fasteners in accordance with the expected load.
This is what the mount looks like The use of such plates is in a non-standard way and is possible only in the absence finishing. It is recommended to groove a section of the wall in order to subsequently putty the fasteners.
All that remains is to hang the door on the frame. After this, you need to make final adjustments to the box. The lock post must then be adjusted to fit the door so that it does not protrude beyond the wall. It is worth remembering that in order to maintain the integrity of the box and the canvas, you must first drill several holes for the screws.
Step 4: Foaming
After securing the canvas, you need to foam the gaps between the box and the edges of the opening. The foam should be fed carefully, layer by layer, and fed from above so that it does not protrude out. Then the door will have to be closed and certain time Do not touch it so that the foam dries. Approximate drying time is 1 day.
If the composition accidentally gets on the canvas, immediately remove it with a clean, dry cloth; dried fragments can be cleaned using effective cleaning agents.
Step 5: Installing the lock and handles in the door leaf
The most popular today are handles with a built-in lock. The work order is as follows:
- Make a mark one meter from the floor. The handle mechanism must be applied so that a mark is visible in the hole at the top.
- Drill holes in the canvas from the end. After this, the edges of the holes should be cut off with a chisel to level the hole.
- Insert the mechanism into the hole. In this case, the lock must be leveled and then secured using self-tapping screws. The bar on the lock should be traced with a pencil to cut through the veneer, then the mechanism should be removed. According to the outlined contour, you need to select a platform to determine the thickness of the locking strip. This is done by using a chisel.
- Drill holes for the latch and handles. You need to attach the lock to the canvas from different sides, align it and mark it. Holes must be made on both sides and they must not be through.
- Remove the resulting shavings and install the handles.
Step 6: Installing trim strips
An extension is a plank approximately 2 meters long, 250 mm wide, and no more than 3 cm thick. The plank should be used during the installation of interior doors if the wall is thicker than the door frame.
The timber for the box is made in a standard width - approximately 70 mm. It can be expanded according to the thickness of the opening with an extension. This will allow you to more clearly align the box and walls. The beam has a groove for the plank. You must first measure the distance to the edge of the wall, starting from the depth of the groove.
The allowance can be set in different ways:
- into the groove provided in the box;
- with cutting a groove in the absence of a ready-made one;
- attaching the extension from the inside of the beam in the absence of a groove, the box is installed together with the extension;
- fastening the extension in the shape of a “P”;
- if the extension is not too wide and there is no groove in the box, the bar should be drilled and screwed to the box.
The plank is sawn into several parts using a circular saw to obtain several pieces of the required dimensions. You need to prepare one short plank and two vertical ones. Check out our simple step-by-step instructions for .
Step 7: Fastening the trim
During installation of the platbands, the box must be located level with the opening on the front side. To connect the platbands, you must first attach a vertical strip to the box and place a mark 0.5 cm higher, retreating from the crossbar of the box. This mark will act as a cutting edge. In the same way you need to mark the cut on the other side.
Interior doors can be used for years, but sometimes situations arise when they need to be replaced. The technology for installing interior doors has not changed since the invention of hinges. In order to install doors, their owners often turn to professionals for help, however this procedure You can do it yourself, but you can spend the money on something more useful. Of course, you will need some knowledge, patience and work, but the result will be a worthy reward.
Of course, the door itself is not some kind of high-tech system, but it is also not a simple board closing the entrance to the room. The canvas should open and close easily, not creak, and be strong enough to “take a hit.”
To ensure the strength of the structure, the master must correctly assemble the box, which is the basis of the entire structure, install fittings on the canvas and the box - hinges, handles, latch, lock, fasten the box, hang the canvas evenly, adjust the mechanism as a whole, and complete the picture by installing extensions and trims. The first two steps can be performed in any order, but all other steps are performed sequentially. Depends on correct installation interior doors.
Installation procedure
Installation options may vary depending on the type of interior doors. Some are plastic as well metal-plastic doors are delivered to the buyer in full assembled form. Let's not focus on them. An interesting option is when the box has not yet been assembled and consists of a series of wooden blocks of various lengths, the canvas is not decorated with fittings, and the trim strips are not cut.
Box assembly
The most complex and painstaking process is assembling the box. Any errors and inaccuracies in the work may lead to subsequent difficulties in operation, and in the worst cases, the need to purchase a new product. You should not be lazy, be sure to pay due attention to all measurements - “measure 7 times, cut once!”
The installation of doors is fully regulated, good producers interior paintings always is detailed instructions for the procedure.
First of all, you should connect the box with the letter P. To do this, take bars (three pieces). If you need to build a threshold, you will also need a bottom beam. In this case, the box will be four-sided.
The main task is to ensure the accuracy of measurements of the size of the opening, as well as the canvas, racks, lintel, taking into account all the gaps, even cutting of the bars at the points of their mutual connection, and high-quality assembly. It should be noted that the thickness of the timber should not be less than the thickness door leaf. Measurements should be taken using a tape measure, separately measuring the right and left sides of the opening and the canvas (they may not be mirrored). All the slightest deviations must be taken into account in further measurements.
It is imperative to leave a gap with external parties timber for polyurethane foam(at least 10 mm). WITH inside the gap may not be so significant, up to 5 mm. It is important to ensure there is clearance around the entire perimeter. In addition, you should leave a gap between the canvas and the floor, depending on the type of flooring. If it is linoleum - then about 10 mm, if it is carpet - 15 mm, for laminate - 10 mm.
The technology for installing interior doors requires cutting down timber for the frame. To make cuts correctly and evenly, you should use a special machine (trimming machine). If you don’t have a machine at hand (as happens in most cases of self-installation), a miter box with a hand hacksaw will do.
Let's look at two ways to connect parts of a door frame into one.
The first one was washed at an angle of 45 degrees. Not the easiest way for a non-professional. It requires increased attention to cutting accuracy. On the other hand, there is a reason to choose this option - a well-joined box, with this type of joint, looks great. In order to connect the components of the box, self-tapping screws are used, the holes for which are drilled through. It is necessary to drill perpendicular to the cut made. It should be noted very important nuance– holes are pre-drilled to prevent damage decorative surface. A drill is used, the diameter of which is equal to ¾ of the diameter of the screws. Cutting with self-tapping screws must be done along the entire length.
The second option is to cut at an angle of 90 degrees. This is a very simple, but less aesthetic way. To complete the procedure, you can use a regular wood saw. For fastening, as in the first option, self-tapping screws are used. When calculating the size of the lintel crossbar, you should be aware that it is necessary to leave a distance between the false and hinged beams, which is equal to the sum of the width of the canvas plus 6mm for gaps. If the door has a threshold, the timber should only be cut at a right angle.
The box should be assembled on a flat horizontal plane (can be on the floor or in the entrance). On flooring Cardboard or plywood is placed.
Installation of fittings
The next step is to install the fittings on the canvas and the box. Rules fire safety suggest the need to open the doors outwards. Loops can be left or right, but most often universal ones are used. In our time of high technology, hinge designs have appeared that do not require cutting off the part of the door surface necessary for their installation.
The space at the top and bottom is measured with a tape measure; it usually ranges from 15 to 25 cm. If the door is equipped with a third hinge, it is installed 50 cm from the top border of the door leaf. Also take into account gaps of 0.3 mm.
If necessary cut seats for hinges, you should know that the cutout should allow the flag to be installed flush with the box and canvas (flush). The cut is made using a milling cutter and finished using a chisel. If you don't have a router bit, you can finish the job using just a chisel.
The correct installation of hinges for interior doors is captured on video.
Most people find that it is much more convenient to secure the fittings at the initial stage, before assembling the box. Meanwhile, there is no particular difference in the order of these actions.
Where it should be located door knob, the owner of the premises decides. The standard distance used is from 90 to 120 cm from the floor. It is attached depending on its type and the presence or absence of a lock. In all cases, a fastening tool is used, which is included with the handle.
Securing the door frame
Three good screws are enough for fastening. Polyurethane foam will serve as a good addition to secure the structure more firmly. It must be remembered that before screwing in the screws, you should first drill holes for them.
It is better to secure the door frame with two people. It rises from the floor and is located in the opening, leaving the necessary gaps for the polyurethane foam. The door is leveled using wedges both horizontally and vertically. A level is used for measurement accuracy. If everything is correct and level, screws are screwed in to secure the box.
After installing the frame, the door leaf is hung and the door movement is checked. Uneven gaps and distortions are not allowed. The box is sealed with tape, and cardboard is inserted into the gaps around the canvas. Next, the door is closed, and foam is used to fill the gaps. You should not foam the entire space at once; it is better to approach it in several approaches.
Do not touch the door until the foam has completely hardened. If everything worked out, we can consider that the installation procedure is completed. Finishing touch– cleaning the space from construction waste and installing platbands.
So, the procedure for installing interior doors is clear. Installing it yourself is a great experience and saves money. They value golden hands in any man and are proud of his skills and knowledge. Installing doors yourself is a way to prove your competence and skills to all your family and friends!
There are elements in a house and apartment that have their own appearance can dramatically change the style of the entire interior, visually change the spatial proportions of rooms or serve as the center of perception of the room. One of these elements is interior doors. They mark the end of one zone and the beginning of another, and also help provide a sense of privacy.
Any errors made during installation can dramatically reduce the quality of the repair, so the installation of doors should be taken very seriously. This process is quite labor-intensive. Many people can do it on their own, but only true professionals can do it efficiently and without minor flaws. For a flawless installation, it is necessary to master new door installation technologies that have emerged in recent years.
Main tasks and new methods of their implementation
During installation, there are several standard problems that invariably accompany this process. They are not new, and they have always had to be solved. But now, with the advent of new approaches, technologies and tools, it has become much easier. The main ones:
- high-quality dismantling;
- uneven doorway;
- lock mortise;
- insertion of loops;
- door handle mortise.
With the advent of new technologies, solving most of these problems has become much easier; now it takes much less time, and the time factor is a very important indicator during repairs or construction.
Dismantling
As a rule, before installation, the previous structure is dismantled. In order for everything further stages passed flawlessly, needs to be removed old door, hinges, platbands and old door frame, even if its replacement is not provided. In the event that this component is replaced, it is worth filing it a little in a convenient place.
All elements old decoration must be thoroughly cleaned. Using spatulas, remove cement and plaster that has peeled off or is loose. Depending on how well the work is done in this area wall covering, the final result of the entire fastening directly depends.
Increasingly, after dismantling the old interior door, the plaster of the slopes is renewed. The aesthetics of the installation and the convenience of further operation depend on the level and technology of performing this stage.
With the help of plaster it is possible to eliminate small gaps between the frame and the door leaf. The largest cracks are first masked using a putty mixture and then plastered. These measures improve sound insulation and thermal insulation internal space. In addition, the absence of even the smallest cracks prevents the entry of dust and small debris, which can move into the room with air currents.
Plastering transforms slopes and brings completeness to the interior. If in the future it is planned to decorate this space with wallpaper, tiles, or any type of panels, then this stage is mandatory.
An uneven doorway is a very common situation. According to statistics, out of 10 such structures, only 1 is initially level, so the opening will almost certainly have to be leveled. You can now check the level of walls, slopes and other structural elements very easily using laser level– device high precision, which will be useful at many stages of construction.
The door leaf must be oriented strictly vertically in a single plane with the frame, since any distortion in as soon as possible will worsen, the temperature will increase, the door will begin to sag, which will affect its operation. This defect can completely prevent closing.
If the doorway does not meet these requirements, then cashing cannot be installed without problems: on the one hand, gaps will appear, and on the other, a protruding wall will interfere.
Corner cashing
New technologies for installing interior doors suggest installers use corner trim. It fits at one angle into the prepared grooves that are provided on the box. Thanks to these grooves, the box is installed only as necessary, in one plane. This system guarantees a strictly vertical orientation of the canvas, smoothing out all possible errors.
Corner trim with card hinges
The frame with grooves is placed flush with the general surface of the opening, while the other side is securely covered with a corner trim. This allows you to solve all the problems with the addition, in addition, there is no need to subsequently increase the depth of the box.
If the groove does not allow the platband to fit completely into it, then the protruding part is cut off, after which the fit to the doorway becomes ideal.
Previously, the process of inserting locks required manually making significant indentations using a chisel. Now this procedure is not so complicated thanks to new offers on the construction market. Firstly, the locks have become more compact, and secondly, manual frezer simplified the insertion.
Using this tool, you can make the necessary holes for installing a lock or hinges in a couple of minutes. In this case, the edges of the holes are perfectly smooth, without small notches.
At the moment, it is possible to install hinges with the technology of complete immersion in the box or without immersion. To facilitate the insertion technology, special card loops have been developed and are commercially available, which allow the process to be carried out very quickly without extra effort. The novelty of their design is that they are placed one on top of the other, fitting tightly and without forming the slightest gaps.
There is no need to make any selections to install such hinges, and the canvas hangs very softly and comfortably.
Special mounting kits
For certain new technologies for installing interior doors, entire fastening kits are being developed that make the process easier and make it easy to do even for those who are not professionals.
These include the SMS installation technology, patented in Russia, which was developed in Samara. She took into account all the complexities of the installation process and proposed a whole list of fundamental innovations.
The technique is based on the use of a special mounting kit, step by step guide which allows easy and high-quality installation even for those who are doing it for the first time, not to mention specialists.
Each set consists of two halves, one of which is attached to inner surface box timber, and the second - on the opening. When they are combined, it is possible to influence the adjustment of the frame even with the door inserted. Adjustment is carried out manually or using standard electrical tools.
