Start the calculation by measuring the height and width of the opening, taking into account all possible dimensional variations. Based on the measurement results, a suitable option is selected. However, there are nuances that are important to consider when choosing modern house interior doors in Sacramento:

• - To avoid jamming, you should also leave an extra 5 mm between the door and the frame.
• - Remember that if the floor is repaired, the size may change significantly after installation.
• - Finally, when you have selected the appropriate option, make sure that it has been properly assembled and is free from physical damage and surface defects.

Installation of interior door by yourself

To level the door frame in the opening, use a level to measure the grade of the surface. To do this, expose the door and fix it with dowels. Six holes are enough to secure the structure. Using a drill, drill the holes and then fasten the structure to the opening.

To avoid deformation, it is recommended to place wooden spacers between the opening and the box every 50 cm along the structure. You can also use plugs for screws for aesthetic reasons. The resulting gaps should be sealed with mounting foam. Any other work should be done only after the foam has completely set and the excess has been removed with an installation knife.

Installing Interior Door Trim

The molding is the finishing touch to the installation. The moulding is a decorative part and is placed on the frame.

It is fastened with flat nails. There are several ways of fixing the mouldings, which differ in the variants of the connecting angle.

The first and the most common is the 45 degree angle. It looks nice, hides the sawn areas.

The second way - the angle of connection in 90 degrees. In the simplified version, the end part of the strip is connected either horizontally or vertically.

Joining Procedure

Use the hinges to connect the door to the frame. The additional parts of the frame are connected with self-tapping screws.

The assembled structure is fixed in the opening with the help of clamping wooden boards. After that, the formed holes are filled with assembly foam.

One day after foaming, the wooden planks are removed and checked for easy opening. Then the installation of handles, hinges and other hardware is carried out.
