Installing interior doors

Once you have found and ordered the perfect interior door for your home, all that remains is to install it. That sounds more difficult than it is: nowadays, thanks to modern, readily available door systems, you can easily install your new doors yourself with just a few tools. Here you can find out how to do it in 10 steps.

1. Lay all parts of the Door frame on a flat surface. Then join them together with a little glue and the connectors supplied. Then screw in the threads and screws at the marked points. Then it's time: Wait until the glue has dried.
2. Carefully lift up the glued frame and place it in the middle of the wall opening.
3. Insert the bottom parts of the Door hinges into the holes provided and tighten them with a screwdriver. This requires a little force. Ideally, you should therefore use a ratchet or an electric screwdriver.
4. Repeat step 1 with the decorative frame.
5. While the glue on the decorative frame dries, stretch door lining clamps in the upper third of the new frame. Then pull it into the middle and downwards. You can also borrow this tool from a tool hire shop instead of buying it.
6. Fix the frame with small wooden wedges at the upper corners in the wall opening and check with a spirit level on all sides whether the frame is straight. If not, adjust slightly. Tip: There should be about 5 mm space between the frame and the Floor. In damp rooms, apply a sealing joint at this point later.
7. Then fit the Door hinges to the door leaf. You can now hang the door leaf. The door leaf should have 5-7 mm floor clearance (float above the Floor).
8. Spray frame foam into the opening between the frame and the wall. It is sufficient to foam the three points with the door frame clamps. Once the foam has dried, carefully cut off the excess foam with a saw.
9. Place a few drops of glue in the groove for the decorative frame every 50 cm or so. Then carefully lift the frame and insert it into the groove.
10. Finally, screw on the Lever handle set - and your new Glass door is ready!
