The door is the peculiar face of the home as a whole, because it is she who “meets” any visitor. Therefore, if you want your home to look beautiful, you first need to take care of the doors that are entering it. The new door leaf is sold without a hole for installing loops and a lock, so you will have to do it yourself, or seek help from a qualified specialist.
Start with size
When installing the door, first of all, it is necessary to note their door size. To do this, it is most carefully necessary to measure the box. When measuring, do not forget about the gaps between the door and the box, which should be 3 mm on top and 6 mm from below.
Boxes from the old doors are not always distinguished by straightforwardness, they can have distortions. Therefore, the height must be measured in at least three places, and the width of four. The thickness of the door must correspond to the thickness of the box so that it is normally entered in the bore. Before installation, the doors should stand in the room in which they will be installed to acclimatize the canvas.
Consider the most typical cases of installing loops in the door. The first of them will need a pair of loops with a height of 7.5 cm, in the second – three pieces at a height of 10 cm each of them.
We mount the door
First, the door is inserted into the doorbox to determine those places where the size of the canvas exceeds the size of the box. Next, the ends of the door are processed with a shirt. It is necessary to handle in the direction from the edge of the door to its center. If it is necessary to reduce the size of the filen door, then a part of the wood on the side end from both sides is cut off from its edge with a shirt from its edge.
Next, you need to mark the door location. To do this, the door is put into the box, it is reconciled, and then the position of the loop and the necessary depth of the circuit are marked with a knife. The necessary groove for the future loop is cut along the contour of the chisel, and then extra pieces of wood must be knocked out with neat blows with the help of a rubbish.
Fixed to the indicated place of the loop using screws. Most often, one screw for one loop is used, but for greater safety, you can screw it more.
