Doors installation in the apartment. This functional part of the interior is very important. She creates the completeness of personal space in a large apartment. Maybe how to remove the temporary border between the rooms, and at any moment become an obstacle for undesirable penetration; protect the room from extraneous noise, spread of smells, heat loss from the room. But the door is also able to tell about the aesthetic inclinations of its owner, to become an integral part of the interior of the apartment. And this is far from a complete list of what the door is for in the apartment.
It’s no secret that the installation of the interior door is not at all easy to work. You need to have skills in this matter, know some installation features in order to do the work on your own carefully and save finances, which, otherwise, would have to pay a hired worker.
Without a tool like without hands
A correctly selected quality tool – already half the success when performing the installation of an interior door with your own hands. Of course, it makes no sense to buy the entire necessary kit, so a service such as renting specific devices and mechanisms, solves all issues, solves all issues. To hoist the wooden surface, the following set is necessary:
Pencil and level,
Hammer and screwdriver,
chisel (if there is – electric milling cutter),
Perforator,
Wooden bars for the manufacture of wedges,
dowels, screws, nails,
Construction foam.
Screwdriver – a tap is necessary when installing interior doors
Preparation of the front of work
It is best to see the installation procedure for the interior door in the video. But in short, it is performed as follows:
On the door panel from the end is cut out by a milling or a laundry chisel – a place for loops. Important: the upper and lower loop should be fixed at a distance no closer than 0.2 m to the edge of the door surface.
Slopes are cut off. Necessarily at an angle of 45 degrees. Ready details try on the door. With a pencil, the location of the loops on the jamb is noted.
The cutter is formed for hinges.
Loops are fixed in places on the doorbell. Here, nests for self -tapping screws are drilled here. It is important that the drill cross section is smaller than the cross section of these self -tapping screws.
The loops are attached to the door.
Installation of the door handle
The door is placed “on the priest” in a horizontal position. In the place where the loops are located, from the opposite side from 90 to 120 centimeters, a place for the latch is selected, a large depression is drilled for its installation.
Previously, the latch is inserted into a drilled notch, its circuits around the perimeter are indicated with a pencil. The cutter is removed part of the material for the front valve plate.
The locking device itself is inserted into the recess. In this case, its body should be a flush with a door end. Having checked the location of the valve, its body is extracted from the nest.
Places of installation of handles are noted, holes are drilled.
The latch is again fixed in the deepening for it intended for it and is attached with self -tapping screws in pre -prepared holes.
The same fasteners and hexagon are fixed on door handles, decorative strips.
Door box: how it is assembled and installed
First of all, the “circular” or hacksaw are cut to the desired value in the cross section The ends of the box structure. A wooden special device that allows you to cut off the boards at an angle of 45 ° (stall) the edges to cut off for a tight joint.
If the purchased door does not contain platbands and slopes fixed by special mounts in the sections made for this, you need to drill through the through cavities at the cuts in the corners so that you can knock down the box.
The slopes are shortened along the size of the door panel, taking into account the necessary gaps: 1.5 cm between the door and the flooring.
Form on the floor of the rooms an arch of the P-shaped form from prepared blanks. Fix all elements in the design with fasteners.
In places of installation of a hinge, perform one through border to fix the box to the wall, nailing it with a dowel.
Using the level, the structure is exhibited and aligned vertically, fixed from below with the same self -tapping screw. At the same time, between the wall and the jamb, it is necessary to leave the gap for wedges. Tightly fix the box with screws.
Installation of the door in the box
The door is suspended into the box with the help of self-tapping screws. Correctly located design should not “hang out”: neither close nor open. To install it in the upper part of the box, the wedges are driven, and then, to install a locking plate under the latch, firstly, when the door covered, the place in the jamb is just opposite the bolk; secondly, the groove of the desired size is drilled.
Installation of doors in the box – key points
The other side of the structure is attached to the position in which, with a closed door closed, the width of the gap between the door surface and the box should be the same. Using the wedges, strengthen the structure and screw the locking plate, masking places of fastening with self -tapping screws.
With the help of painting adhesive tape, close the strips, and the gaps that are previously moistened with water and the strapping are closed with foam from the pistol. After its drying, the influxes are removed with a knife, the tape is removed. By analogy with the adjusting the door frame, they are processed with a hacksaw with a stable platbands at an angle of 45 degrees for dense joint. Places on the jamb for installation of the platband are pre -treated with silicone sealant. The platband intended for this is fixed with nails. Traces of them are masked by a special composition (mastic).
Important: when performing the repair, interior doors are installed only on finished floors.
How much does the door cost to put?
When choosing a door, you need to pay attention to the quality of the guides
If we take into account that the price of the installation of an interior door is made of indicators such as the type of manufacturing material, the quality of the fittings, the complexity of the locks, the type of model, the removal of the old dismantled design (for which, by the way, you need to pay). As an additional service – expanding the doorway for a new door. Well, the payment of all the work described above. It is easy to see that when making the installation on their own, most of these points in terms of financing will disappear, and the installation will cost much cheaper.
Sliding doors – an excellent solution for small apartments and not only
Reduce space deficiency in the apartment will allow the installation of an interior sliding door. It is only necessary to understand which side you need to install the design in relation to the doorway. Then you need to perform the following work:
Apply tags on the walls where guides will be attached. Fix the lower part on the floor basis. Compliance with the horizontal position is checked using the level. To install the upper analogue, a control line is carried out, noting the presence of the lower edge of the guide profile. In height, it corresponds to the size of the door space with a margin of 0.12-0.20 cm: from floor to lower clearance; upper lumen from the door surface to the guide. Constantly check the installation using the level.
The upper profile is customary to fix the bracket. Massive doors are mounted on a pre -strengthened structure, especially if this wall is made of light drywall. In a particular case, an additional profile is needed. Based on the wall, the guide is attached to it. For the supporting structure of a strong monolithic masonry or brick performance, fixation is carried out with dowels.
Mandatory operation – fixing brackets on the door. They hold the door leaf, clinging to a small roller shaft. The installation of the brows should take place according to the instructions. The most common type of holder is considered to be a model in the form of a clamp on the sides of the door structure. If the door leaf is completely glass, then the fastener is a set of metal strips with a rubber lining, between the parts of which glass is fixed.
Harmosome door in small-sized housing is almost a non-alternative option
Other door assembly technology – accordion. Instructions on how to carry out such installation of the interior door in the instructions product. It will definitely indicate the following points:
Having prepared the door surface, strengthening all components on it, perform control installation. It is necessary to adjust the levels, to check the previously performed work. One person, holding the canvas, lifts it, and the other at that time turns a carriage into the cavity of the guide. The role of limiters is reduced to preventing the door surface along the guides and to prevent the loss of roller rogues from them. Rubber or plastic locks have proven themselves well.
The platbands play the role of a kind of protection of the running mechanism from dust, serve as an element of decor. Mounted on pre -strengthened brackets or directly to the guide, using the latches.
The finish work on checking and regulating the work of the door is reduced to eliminating the causes of spontaneous movement of the canvas, creating a strong fit and light passage parallel to the floor. The functioning of the locking mechanisms is also monitored.
Some nuances of installation: installation with diving
There are situations when the wall in thickness exceeds the same door box parameter. There are two exits: either the slope is aligned using the finish, or the installation of interior doors with a pretext is installed. Use a special assembly expansion wooden (plastic, chipboard element) for the box. The preference complements the door leaf and frame in texture and color, represents a single whole with them. Consists of an extensor of planks with a thickness of 10 and 16 mm.
Important: if this size is larger than 0.15 cm, then the fixation is performed directly on the wall.
Much depends on the quality of accessories and components
At first, holes for screws are drilled, both from the side of the box and from the extensor. Having inflicted a safety tape on visible surfaces, they carefully fill with the foam of the gap between the dubbing and the wall. It should be noted that there is its own technology when installing a dock for doorways, which have a type of trapezoid in the context of. Very thin (about 0.1 cm) Expansion element requires a more laborious installation. After completion of work, you can build platbands and plugs.
So that the doors have an inaudible and light move, functional for a long time, regularly, you should adhere to the rules of assembly, installation according to the instructions for the product. Then it will do it easy and without outside help.
