Before installation, determine the side you have chosen for opening the door, if the manufactured structure is non-sliding. Installation is carried out after measuring and cutting the vertical elements of the frame.
The principle of installation of interior doors.Measuring the door frame. Drill symmetrical holes in it with a wood drill and transfer them to the end part of the wall. For drilling, use a concrete drill with a drill diameter that matches the size of the impact dowel. Make the hole for it 5-7 mm longer so that its head is flush with the end surface of the wall. Use high-quality drills, select their diameter correctly depending on the size of the dowels and drill the holes horizontally. After installing the door frame, install wooden spacers in the middle and lower parts of the doorway. Prepare them in advance, they should be 3-5 mm larger than the distance of the doorway. Place flannel rags under the spacers to preserve the paintwork. Then fill the voids between the frame and the wall with mounting foam. When working with mounting foam, do not forget that it significantly increases in volume and is difficult to remove from surfaces. Therefore, do this operation slowly and carefully. The foam dries completely in a day, then you can remove the spacers and pre-hang the door leaf. After installing the interior door, measure the casings and nail them. Use a miter saw, it works well on wood. Start with the horizontal part, then symmetrically fasten the vertical panels. The interior doors are installed. Depending on the design features of the interior doors, some installation features are possible. But the rule "measure seven times, cut once" should be the main one.
