Your guide to installing a door correctly
The process of installing a door may seem simple, but if you do it incorrectly, it may lead to spaces around the door or even the inability to close the door at all. In this guide presented by Jaafar Shop , you will know how to install a door correctly.
Follow the following steps.
• Step 1: Measure the door opening
Make sure the door fits into its designated slot.
Measure the height of the opening, then measure the width of the opening at both the top and bottom. Write down your measurements.
• Step 2: Check the floor
The most important step in installing a door is to ensure that the two planks fixed to the wall on either side of the door are at the correct height. If the floor is not level, you will have to cut the bottom of one of the beams slightly. Use a scale to determine the height tolerance and determine how far you will have to travel.
• Step Three: Purchase the door
When you buy a door, make sure it is 5 centimeters smaller than the door opening. After installation, the door will be about half a centimeter smaller allowing you to open and close the door easily. If you purchase a door that is larger than the opening, you will have to trim it during the installation process.
• Fourth step: modifying the section:
Ask yourself, will there be a rug under the door or the floor directly? This question is important during the door modification process.
The first edit will be for the model. You will need a saw to cut off part of the top side of the crossbar. The cut must be less than half a centimeter otherwise you will have to level the bottom of the door to match the floor and beam.
The second amendment is to level the door. You will have to sand the edges of the door well to make them completely smooth. Note that the lower the leveling of the door, the better.
You can now check if the door fits or not by placing the door in the frame. Use flat pegs, and it is preferable to have a family member help you in this verification process. If the door does not fit into the opening, you will have to re-align it again until it fits perfectly.
• Step five: Place the hinges
Determining the position of the hinges is very important as it determines which direction the door will open. The door must open into the room and the hinges must be on the side opposite the electrical switches. For example, if the electrical switches are on the right side, the hinges should be on the left side. When you open the room door, you can easily access the electrical switches.
To place the hinges correctly, place the door in its slot inside the frame and measure the distance from the top and bottom of the door. Make marks at a distance of 15 cm on both sides. These marks mark where the hinges will be installed at the top and bottom of the door. Place the hinge on the door, draw around it with a pencil, and repeat with the second hinge.
Use a chisel to make the grooves needed for the hinges, then use sandpaper to smooth the grooves. Do not make more recesses than necessary so as not to damage the door.
• Step Six: Installing the door
Installing the hinges is done using a screwdriver or drill. Mark the joint in the frame. You should have a family member with you to help you fit the door into the frame so you can mark the hinges on the frame with a pencil.
Now, make a recess inside the door frame the same way you did in the door itself. Hold the door again and see if the door will fit into the frame correctly or not. After making the hinge recesses in the frame, install the hinges using a screwdriver and screws.
Finally, install the door inside the frame.
During the door installation process, you will need many tools such as hinges, nails, a hammer , a saw , and other tools. You can find all the tools you need to install the door on Jaafar Shop .
