Possible options for fastening doors in the opening

Each master faces a problemto and on what to strengthen the assembled doors. To install the finished door unit, various installation methods can be used. Knowing these mounting options, you can easily choose the right one for yourself. You will need a small tool kit such as a drill, perforator, level, screwdriver and a hammer. Also, to fasten the box directly in the opening, you need fixing elements and mounting foam. Depending on where you need to fasten the door unit, you may need screws, dowels, anchors.

Basic stages of installing the door unit

At the very beginning, the old door frame is dismantled. It can be done using a nailer( forage), having pre-cuts from both sides of each vertical bar, then to squeeze this structure from the opening. If the anchor bolts were used for the installation of the old box, the nails that can not be unscrewed can be cut with a "bolgar".

Before installing the box of interior doors, it is necessary to check the senna vertical and take into account the differences in the level of the walls and the floor. The door box should be placed so that if there are irregularities, the wall of the box does not go deep in the opening. This is necessary for the cushioning of the door. In order to correctly position the door frame, you should use the building level and take into account all the errors in the opening.

First of all, the assembled door unit is fixed rigidly in the opening to use the wedges to achieve the initial level of rigidity. After completing the fixing work, it is worthwhile to repeatedly check the correctness of the positioning with the level so that the box is flat with the door.

Working with mounting foam

It is important to know the foam that is designed for the gun, it is much better and more convenient to work because it is more dosed and has a small expansion ratio, it freezes much faster. Foam, which is supplied with a large amount of a tube, will last longer. Before you start, it is better to cover the door leaf with paint tape and film, because the foam is difficult to wash. It is important to know, you have to start with the fixing of individual small patches. After 30 minutes you can go through the entire perimeter. All the cracks are filled with foam( 50% of the total volume).Do not fill with a large amount of foam, because during expansion the foam will squeeze the box inside. We recommend using professional foam.

As the tree shrinks and expands due to increased humidity due to expansion, the deformation of the door unit is deformed. The door simply will not close for this reason.

Video for possible ways of mounting doors

There are several ways to fasten the door frame in the opening, each of which provides for the use of a special type of fastening. Various mounting options provide a certain level of reliability and strength of the fixed structure. We hope that the videos on the options for installing boxes of wooden doors will help you.

A hidden way to install doors on the foam

The door box is fixed in the opening using wooden wedges for fixation and the correct location is checked according to the building level. Foaming with mounting foam should be done gradually, with sections and with interruptions in order to avoid deformation. The door frame is kept almost by foam alone.

To maintain the clearance between the box and the door itself, use a small 3mm spacer, which is inserted between the door and the box. They can be removed only when the foam dries. Usually the door is left overnight.

This method is convenient if you do not need to go into the room, it is fast and does not require much effort. It's important not to overdo it with foam so you can open the door.

Installation of doors with clamps or spacers

The principle of installation is that we use it inside to temporarily fix the door block in the gap of the spacers. This can be like ordinary wooden rivers, and special adjustable devices.

These two methods are very good for light and small doors.

New mounting options for

This video will show you how to secure the door frame in the opening. This type of attachment is the installation of the box of the interior door, by putting the box on the screwed heads of screws that are in the ends of the opening. This happens with the help of metal plates with a hole, which are screwed from the outside of the box.

To achieve the final fixation of the box in the doorway, the usual adjustment means are used.

With this method, the doors of the door unit move freely in the aperture.

The clear advantage of this method is the full adjustment possibility and at the same time rigid fixation with the preservation of the original appearance of the box and the exterior wall decoration.

Concealed installation, fastening under hinges

As a rule, for the rigidity of the construction, screws or anchors are used, which are hidden under the hinges. To do this, make a hole between the screws in the loop and fasten it to the wall through it. From the side of the lock under the decorative plate, another fastening is attached. As a result, we get 3 fixation points.

After the direct fixing, we put the spacer in the bottom of the doors, because the bottom is not fixed and fill all the gaps with foam.

An essential plus of this method is relative stiffness, preservation of appearance.

Fixing in a through manner on anchors or screws

This is the most common standard installation of interior doors. For this version of the fastening, first drill holes for anchors in the right places of the racks, then fasten the door in the opening.

Preparation of

• Marking of 4 anchors on each side;
• Drilling with a stylus 14mm to a depth of 10mm( place for the plug);
• Drill a through hole 10mm with a stylus( anchor fixing point):

Then the box is exposed and drilled with 10mm drill concrete under the anchor. When the box is on the anchors, it holds securely and does not require any struts. The fastening points can be hidden by installing decorative caps of the desired color, size( 14mm).Instead of anchors you can use screws that will reduce the diameter of the stub. The application of this option is the most reliable for heavy doors. Using it, you can align( tighten) the curved rail. Doors can be used almost immediately. It is possible to adjust the gap. The downside is the presence of stubs.
