Installation of gates: description

In some cases, when replacing a door in an apartment there is a problem associated with the typical openings. It turns out that the door frame in its thickness may not coincide with the size of the wall in the room in which to put the new door. Of course, it is possible to fix the formed gap with the help of a mounting foam and after that again plaster the slopes.

However, it is possible to solve these problems by installing door accessories that will increase the visual width of the door frame.

In appearance, they resemble panels that differ in thickness, as well as the type of installation. There are horizontal or vertical options. Installation of the docks will make the repair much more convenient and faster.

Before starting the installation of these components, you must prepare for work.

First, when choosing a doorframe, you should pay attention to the color of the panel, which must match the shade and structure of the door itself, which will create the impression of a unified design. It is better to buy everything in the kit. Since the dock is a prominent element in the interior of the apartment, the difference in shades plays a big role. In addition, the doorframe gives the door a solid look and massiveness.

Doors for interior doors can be made of MDF, solid wood, fiberboard, as well as artificial or natural veneer. Products are produced in various sizes (width, thickness). Usually the height of all rails is standard, and the thickness can vary from five millimeters to 2 centimeters, the width varies from 7 to 40 centimeters, blanks over this size are made only on order.

The installation of the dobors is a fairly simple carpenter operation. If there are special grooves in the door frame, you can install 10 mm wide strips. In the absence of such a recess in the box, you can take the device with any width.

Docks are mounted more often on one side of the door, however, in case of a need arising during operation, they can be used on both sides, especially when the door box needs to be enlarged.

The installation of the gates is carried out before the door itself is installed. They simply attach to the outside of the box.

Horizontal bars are fitted after the installation of vertical structures. After the completion of the installation of the gates, they trim the trims.

If necessary and a great desire, additional rails can be made independently. This is done very simply. Take a sheet of a certain material, for example, MDF, and cut out the panel of the required size, after that it is painted in a color suitable for the door.

If there are uneven walls in the room, the interior doors are sawed out, taking into account their curvature, with the extension to the required side.

Installation of the drills is done using a drill, screws and joinery glue. Attaching the workpiece to the place of fastening, notice and drill holes for screwing self-tapping screws. Then, having well smeared the surface with glue, screw the dowel with self-tapping screws. Each bar requires up to 4 pieces. After removing excess glue, after drying, all roughness and roughness should be ground.
