If you need to install an interior door with your own hands, then you should first study the manufacturing technology and high-quality installation of the structure. This will give the room a beautiful look and functionality.
It is the correct installation of the interior door with your own hands that largely determines the durability and reliability during operation. Of course, the best option is to entrust the installation to experienced professionals who guarantee high quality during the work. Very often, firms that sell interior doors or kitchen doors offer installation services based on individual characteristics and in accordance with measurements of the doorway.
First of all, the installation of an interior door with your own hands involves checking and preparing the canvas, since you need to make sure that there are no chips, cracks, which are the main causes of poor-quality installation and deformation of the entire structure.
At the first stage, it is advisable to check the floor level. This is done using the building level, which is placed in a horizontal position. As a rule, the allowable discrepancy in the values of the sides of the opening is not more than 3 mm.
At the second stage, the box is assembled, which consists of two racks and a top, interconnected in the form of the letter P (it is necessary to make it so that an angle of 90 degrees is formed) with self-tapping screws.
Further, the installation of an interior door with your own hands involves fixing the assembled box into the prepared doorway. Keep in mind that the loop stand is in an upright position.
After installing the door with your own hands , the foaming process begins. This stage is required for high-quality installation, since it is necessary to securely fix the door frame in the opening without the formation of any gaps and large gaps. As a rule, for quick and high-quality foaming, it is advisable to seal the box with special construction tape, which will avoid getting directly on the outside of the jambs. After the final drying of the mounting foam (about a day), you can start cutting off the excess.
Only after this it is necessary to start installing the casing, which, as a rule, is fastened in the prepared grooves using sealant.
Standard interior doors are equipped with a universal lock, which can be locked with a key or using a special rotary button. If desired, you can change the direction of opening the interior door, given the simple rules. For example, you can turn the door itself or the lock mechanism upside down.
Of great importance is the process of operating the interior door, since the durability, reliability and beauty of the appearance depend on this. It should be noted that the doors must be regularly cleaned of various contaminants, as well as the use of special means to preserve the original characteristics of the material used. For example, a painted or lacquered door surface is cleaned with soapy water with a soft cloth or dishwashing sponge. More complex stains and old stains are removed with a cloth soaked in turpentine. In no case do not use different solvents, as they negatively affect the surface of the door leaf. Laminated doors are also cleaned with soap or alkali. In any case, after using various solutions, it is necessary to wipe the door with a clean rag, and then remove any residual moisture, as it can cause deformation of the sheet and deterioration of the material from which the interior door is made.
