Door manufacture

Make the door your own - the process is complex, but possible. There are doors that are quite difficult to make. And already having learned to do them, you can move on to more complex ones. For work you will need:

  • tape measure and chisel, glue;
  • hacksaw and screwdriver, self-tapping screws;
  • sandpaper;
  • for a board box or bars, and for the frame of a bar or rails;
  • fiberboard;
  • fittings.

No special room is required to make a door, it can be made in any room. Work order:

  1. Beginning of creating interior doors begins with determining their sizes. If the box does not have a threshold, then that box that inside is calculated with a take-off of 4 mm. If the box has a threshold, then the lumens should be 2 mm from three sides and from below 10 mm gap. In the bathroom, the clearance from below should be made 15 mm, so that active ventilation is present. The remaining three sides are made with gaps of 2 mm. setting_message_door_door_some_hand_2
  2. On the fiberboard sheet, it is necessary to map the door pattern and cut out two blanks, with clear, straight angles. The material should be taken only good, be sure to see that there is no damage, otherwise you will have to spend extra effort in finishing the door.
  3. To make a frame, you need to take a pine inch board. It can be of any quality, if only not rotten and not damp. If the wood has any chips or knots, then you can use it, they will not affect the quality of the door. It is more preferable to take the pine, because it is light, but rotting does not lend itself to long years.
  4. Saw two pieces from the board, which along the length coincide with the height of the door that will go to the posts. And three pieces of saw, the same as the width of the door. All workpieces are well polished with nacre at the edges to remove a large pile.
  5. Place the first piece on the floor face down. Paul needs to be set up with newspapers before that. On the top of the workpiece put two frame racks, and on top of the racks are three transverse bars. To get a rectangle, you need to put at the ends of vertical racks, which are at the bottom, two transverse bars.
  6. We find at the door top and bottom, and places where there will be a handle and a lock. At the place where the lock will be, the thickness of the frame should be at least 34 mm. Below the key structure for 5 cm, put a cross bar, adhering to right angles. door_house_house_plan
  7. All boards mark, draw a marking at intersections, so that when assembling everything becomes as it should. Also mark up on the fiberboard, where the frame boards are located, this is done to mark the place where the glue will be applied.
  8. Remove the cross-pieces and drill three holes. Under the joints, make a drink in half the tree. A thorn can be made simple. Saws do very carefully, it is better not to finish a bit more than sawing. Then it will be possible to carefully adjust the chisel. After making the studs, you need to reposition all the parts, looking at the fact that the protrusions did not turn out. Take into account that you need to collect all the details on a perfectly flat floor or table, because after the frame assembly and when the glue dries, it will be impossible to correct something.
  9. In the place where the fiberboard is connected to the frame, it is necessary to spread with glue, which is intended for wood. Also smear with a floss brush, moistened with glue, and from the underside of the boards, put all the elements in place.
  10. Insert 25 mm self-tapping screws into the upper bars, check again whether the corners are accurate and tighten the screws. It is not necessary to pull them, the main thing is that the hats do not perform. If you use hardwoods, then for self-tapping screws, you need to make additional excavations with a large-diameter drill.
  11. Apply glue to the upper surface of the frame and to the workpiece. Put the workpiece on top and combine all faces. From above you need to put the load. You can drive 2 small carnations to fix the details.
  12. Open the door with lacquer or paint.
