Design and installation of the door frame

Whatever building is built, a lot of time and money goes to the installation of doors. To save on it, you can put the door frame with your own hands. At the same time, the installation process will be monitored personally. In addition, the execution of such work helps to develop accuracy, as well as learn a lot of new in the building standards. It should be said that the quality of the installation of the door box largely depends the durability, strength and aesthetic appearance of the door. Therefore, this stage of work should be considered specially liable. Next, we will tell you how to install the door frame.

Door Box: Dimensions

Door wooden boxes are determined by several parameters:

• The first is the dimensions of the door cloth selected for the box.
• The second is the purpose and characteristics of the room.

Before starting work, you should familiarize yourself with the instructions, how to assemble the door frame. It is worth saying that different rooms have various requirements for ventilation and noise insulation, and they certainly have to provide the door installed. So, for example, the door to the bathroom should not pass inside the cold air and the leakage of warm air should not be allowed. Other premises, such as warehouse rooms, on the contrary, need ventilation so that the materials that are inside are not spoiled. If the door is installed in the boiler room, then it will be useful to make additional ventilation, especially if there is gas equipment.

To prevent the heat loss, the design of the door frame is erected from four bars. As a result, it will be in the form a closed rectangle. At the same time, in the design of the door itself there will be such details as a pretended and looped vertical timber, as well as perts. Between the bar of the box and the door around the perimeter, it is necessary to withstand the clearance of 3 mm so that the door can move freely.

If you need to provide ventilation, the box is collected only of three parts. In this case, instead of the threshold, a technological gap of 16-18 mm is left. The door frame will then take the form of the letter P. At the same time, the necessary indentation of 3 mm should be observed only along the upper bar and vertical racks. In addition, the gap of 2.5-3.5 mm should be kept between the threshold and the new flooring to compensate for the expansion of the material when the temperature drops.

A closed box is usually greater than the height than the outlined. This is due to the fact that the height increases due to the thickness of the threshold, and, therefore, the thickness of the door frame will be greater. This must be taken into account when carrying out calculations and measurements. Otherwise, the door will be too long and it will have to shock to fit under the opening. It is extremely undesirable to do, especially if the web has a veneer coating. If you have to cut a similar coating, start the best from the side where there is a decorative finish, and then move aside, where this finish is not. In this case, the box design will not be broken.

How to install a door frame

Instruments

To put the door frame with your own hands, you will need some tools:

• So, several bars will be needed, which usually goes already complete with the door frame itself.
• In order to prevent distillation during installation, you need to have a plumb or level at hand.
• In addition, they will need nails, hammer, screwdriver with screws, electrofered and hacksaw.
• It is still necessary to work with wooden rails, milling mills, chisels, mounting foam, and as wedges you can take trimming.

Of course, a set of professional tools will cost quite expensive, but this will allow to provide a qualitative result of work. The fact is that when used for mounting the box of simple tools, you can allow large errors, especially if there is little experience in this matter. Therefore, before starting work, contact the specialists who can give quality tools for rent. It will be much more profitable, because It makes no sense to buy new devices for one work.

Preparatory work

Before putting a new box, you need to dismantle the old one. This item is a key part of the preparatory stage. This is just enough:

1. First of all, you need to remove the platbands, then take a hacksaw and a mounting tool with which to remove the entire old wooden box. It is very important not to damage the wall, which may threaten the extensive spending time when completing additional work on finishing.
2. Old anchor bolts and the remaining fasteners are twisted or, as an option, spill with the help of a grinder. Be sure to check the strength of the wall. If there is a need, the door frame released from pressure must be reinforced.
3. When removing the old box, the platbands are first dismantled. Then the box is disassembled through the hacksaw.
4. In order to strengthen the wall, sometimes installing the reinforcing design. This is a very important point, because It depends on it, how many installed door will last.

Stages of mounting

Installation work consists of several stages:

• First, you should measure the doorway. After dismantling the old box, its sizes may differ from the initial one. The results of measurements are needed in order to put on the place of spacer wedges, the dimensions of which must exceed the distance between the bar and the wall at no more than 3.5 mm. One way or another, the fasteners are fixed with them. It should also be noted that the presence of a rotary stouch allows where it is necessary, to cut the bars at an angle of 45 degrees. Therefore, before carrying out installation work, be sure to acquire a similar tool.

• So, proceed to the assembly. The work is usually conditionally divided into several stages, the first of which lies in the fact that the structures are simply laid out on a flat surface where they will be convenient. It is necessary to pay attention to the presence or absence of grooves at the board, with which the parts will be connected to one unit.
• It is very important to correctly bore the installed box. For this, holes are drilled in the joints of BRUSIV. Boards, located horizontally and vertically, you need to pull yourself with self-draws. The most important thing is neat and accurate. Perform this job competently - it means to ensure sufficient fastening of the door fastening. Note that in some modern door systems that are made today, the lower bars are missing, because, in fact, there is no need for them.
• If the grooves are, then they are connected to the side of the bar in the upper part of the bar, and neatly knocked up with a wooden painting. Another tool is better not to use the material to be damaged.
• Then all parts of each other are connected. Screws are suitable as fasteners. When this is done, you need to check how reliable final design. A short bruse grooves may not be and not to be. Then choose one of two options: the pieces are fastened with nails or screws. This is the first stage of assembly ends.
• The protruding ends of wooden bars will interfere with further work. Therefore, the second stage of installation is conditionally begins with their dipping. Next, before continuing work, pay attention to the surface of the bars. If it is smooth and smooth, it means that everything was done correctly. You also need to remove the measure from the top of the door frame.
• In addition to the surface, be sure to check how much the corners of the design are right. Next, the rail is cut off, and then fixed by nails to side bars. Excess parts of the rails should be cut off. This second stage completed.
• In the third stage, door loops are installed in place. To do this, the door box and the door are installed on the floor. In this position you need to decide on the location of the loops. Note that between the upper and lower edge of the door should be at least 19 cm. Length can be the other. The most important thing is that on all the doors of the house it was about the same.

• In the desired location, the contours of the loops are indicated, and not only on the door, but also on the door frame. When the door is installed in place, there should be a small lumen between the floor and the upper part. Next, you should check some important points. So, for example, the horizontal and vertical axes of the door box and the door leaf elements must match.
• Go to trimming places for future loops. For this you need a chisel. So, on the inner side of the design you need to measure from the upper edge of 19 cm. Next, the door loop is applied and the contour is applied using a simple pencil. It should be borne in mind that the folded loop from the door to the box leaves the gap of about 40 mm. Taking into account the thickness of the loop, it is necessary to calculate the depth of its installation.
• Then take the mill and prepare the landing space for the top and bottom loop. If there is no freesomerer, then you can do, as already mentioned above, a set of chisels. From the lower edge of the door design, there must be an indent of about 22 cm, with 10 mm of which are removed under the gap from below.
• After that, the box together with the loops is applied to the door canvase. It is necessary in order to make on the door markup places for fastening loops. On the door canvas, cutouts are made similarly as on the door frame.

• Next, measurements are made of dimension. The results obtained are transferred to side bars. When it is done, the box can be carefully lifted and started to install it in the doorway. Using a plumb or construction level, be sure to check the verticality of the design. In addition, you need to make sure that the corners are direct, and the upper bar is strictly horizontal.
• There is always a possibility that the frame from the first time will not fit into the opening. This can happen, even if all the measurements were made without errors. If there are such shortcomings, you should not be upset. Having between the box and the opening gaps are easily close in the mounting foam.
• When the frame will be installed in place, it is necessary to secure it. The box is attached to the slopes by dowels. As a result of work, the design in the opening should stand reliably. This must be verified before temporary rails and struts will be removed. After such a check, temporary parts are removed, and the protruding parts of wooden wedges are scorn.
• When gaps, adopted standards must be respected, the calculation of which can be easily fulfilled independently. When using a mounting foam during the work, we should not forget that it expands when hardening. Therefore, there must be an opportunity without obstacles to cut off excess. It is important that the fasteners and hinges are used for the weight and purpose of the door. When performing installation works of the door box, do not forget about the microclimate indoors.

On this, the installation of the design can be considered completed. Therefore, you can hang on the door loop and install platbands. Printing can be fixed in various ways. For example, on nails, on a self-tapping screw or glue. If nails were used, their caps are needed after work to close. In the case of the use of screws, they should be put on decorative plastic plugs. Over the same diagram are assembled and the boxes of the door metal.

Features of the assembly of the door frame for houses and baths from the bar

Undoubtedly, wood is one of the best building materials. But it has one feature that should be remembered - after the construction after a while she cares. Therefore, for wooden houses, it is not recommended to equip the doorways after the erection of the crown near the pair of years. Moreover, it is necessary to know how to properly install the door frame into such buildings.

The following method is mainly used. So, if the dimensions of the opening and the doorway width coincide with the dimensions specified in the project, then in the end, the grooves slightly in the middle and then the timber is clogged to it, to which you can navigate the box. The walls even after shrinkage continue to settle. Therefore, it is impossible to fix directly to them. If the opening is not yet formed, it is primarily a hole under the door design. Moreover, the width of this passage should be two thickness of the ridge less than indicated in the plan. In this case, a box of timber is made with a groove. Next, the box is installed by the same scheme that was described above.
