Doors are easy to install, knowing all the tricks of the installer

And now it's time to install the doors, usually this press is better to produce after the completion of wet works. As the doors and the box draw moisture and expand, which after the installation, they begin to chirp, and after when the humidity drops, the gaps can become larger and here one can not guess the very moisture of the doors if they are on the site.

IMPORTANT!If you decide to install the doors at the end of the finishing work, you need to clearly measure the size of the opening and the vertical of the wall, so that there is no distortion of the casing to the wall.

When you have decided on the size and fittings, it's time to determine where the future door will open. When the doors are much better to install them according to the plan of the apartment. Now we define with the floor, that is, if you already have a covering of parquet, laminate or other coating. Then you can just calculate the gap between the floor and the door, if not, then you can calculate the gap with the tile plus mortar or laminate, plus the substrate, the gap under the door is made depending on whether the mat or not usually calculates the 15 ml.

Inserting loops independently

Determine where the door is opened, look at the convenience of opening. We put the doors on one side, ideally, for the convenience of work, to make corner stops for the door, so that the door will hold itself, this will make work much easier. We retreat, 20 cm from the edge of the door we put the pencil marks, apply a loop and put the marks. We take, we fasten screws a loop to the door, we look, that the loop well kept. We take the construction knife and carefully and with a little effort we circle the contour of the door hinge, as shown in the photo, then with great effort we draw the contour of the door hinge, we carry out the same operation with the second hinge. As a result, we get a clearly cut outline.

The insertion of the hinges can be made by chisel on your own. You can, of course, more, faster with a hand-held router. It is not necessary to think that the milling cutter is something, large and industrial, it is quite an acceptable tool, which will require at least a couple of diameters for different types of locks. The milling cutter will greatly facilitate and accelerate the process of inserting the door hinges with which it is possible to clearly guess the depth of the frame, and it helps a lot if there are knots and uneven wood fibers.

Working with the milling cutter

The main thing at work is to be very careful, since the rotation of the collet is more than 30,000 revolutions and accordingly it must be well bolted and naturally observe safety precautions.

Please note that there is a contact between the frame and the milling cutter with the door surface. And also there is a vibration and if you do not take measures, you can damage the door leaf. To avoid damaging the door leaf, you need to use sliding materials for the frame and the stop on the surface, you can of course make templates, but this already requires skills.

And so we proceed to the selection of door hinges, take, set the depth on the milling cutter for this use the loop to establish its pressed state between the stop and adjust the depth of penetration. It does not particularly affect the diameter of the collet for 12 mm.- 18 mm. We expose the stop limiter on the edge of the fix and begin to penetrate. Clearly holding the milling machine, and not going beyond the boundaries of the hinges. The rest of the finish chisel, as a result we get a clear seat and fasten the hinges.

Preparing the carton and correct knitting loops

We look at the slats of the box for curvature. Depending on the profile, there are different types of sawing, it can be under 45 degrees, but in our case, a classic profile with a sample. We cut the smooth corners, the din of the rail is made 2018 mm( this taking into account the gap from the floor of 10 mm or 15 mm and the gap for the doors between the box and the door is about 2 mm).The best and fastest way to facilitate self-installation of loops. To do this, take two clamps and twist them to the door at the ends. We put the rail, the boxes on the clamp from the top with a square measure 3 mm or use a loop to determine the gap.

It is important to leave a gap between the edge of the box and the door leaf 1-2 mm. This is necessary so that the doors do not rub or creak in the process of closing and opening.

Because the depth of the box is different, then you need to clearly calculate the clearance. Usually make a gap from the edge of the loop plus 2 mm. Having established clearances of height, and lateral distance we fasten a box to a loop, we check up closing, all perfectly we circle a contour of loops a knife and we remove рейки.

Hook the loops on the

box We take with the help, the chisel we make a selection. This can be done with a milling cutter, since the same manipulation is in the photo, setting a zero mark plus the depth of the loop. For clarity of infection we use the second stick of the box, it will not allow to randomly close the sample. We make a selection of the door frame by a milling cutter, for convenience we fix the clamp. After the sample we modify the chisel. Now our door hinges are clearly in line.

Lock insert and height of the

knob The standard locking handle standard is from 900-100 mm, depending on the door lock and ease of use. Locks and latches are usually of different thicknesses of the feigned bar and can be either rectangular or semi-circular. Consider the options for tie-in door locks, but they have one principle. The lock with rectangular edges is screwed to the door with the front side centered, from the calculation that the handle will be 1 meter from the edge of the door. We circle the contour with a construction knife, and we have a contour for inserting a chisel or using a milling machine. The method of inserting a lock with semicircular edges, these locks are usually designed for installation with a router.

It is important not to drastically increase the sample under the decorative plate of the lock, let it perform a little bit better. We take, we fasten the lock to the butt of the door with the face side taking into account that the handle will be in the middle of the door. The distance from the floor is 1 meter. The contour of the lock is clearly drawn with a pencil;We take the diameter of the mill;We set the depth to depth;We set the emphasis of the milling machine. Now slowly begin the first sample, leading along the contour, the main thing is not to go over the edges, so as not to spoil the door. We proceed to the second stage of the lock of the lock, measure the width of the body of the lock, take the collet of the required diameter and begin the selection of the depth. We change to an elongated collet and choose the full depth of the lock.

Work very neatly, keep the machine tight, because there may be nails, knots, screws. It is important to know that the milling machine is vibrating, and the door leaf can be damaged( especially for cheap machine models).

We begin to install the pen, mark the center of the pen with a pencil and circle the contour of the lock's larva, use the feathers on the wood of the desired diameter to drill the holes. Be sure to drill holes on both sides of the door, so as not to tear out a piece of cloth.

We are assembling the

box. Since we are already defined with the length( 2018mm).We consider the width with the condition that it is necessary to make a gap between the box and the door 2 mm on each side. It is necessary to pay attention to the loops, what is the longitudinal gap there. All taken into account, we make a wash of breadth. When assembling the box it is very convenient to use an angled clamp. We put all the details on a flat surface and expose clearly the angles and slopes. An important detail that the door does not rub, you can slightly tilt one side to the extension. With proper gaps, you do not need to do this. We connect the elements of the door frame, screwing holes for them beforehand so that the box does not crack. The box is ready for installation.
