Before installing the interior door, you need to prepare the appropriate opening. This process is as follows. First you need to check the wall vertically and measure the dimensions of the doorway in height and width. If in the future plans you have to reconstruct the floors, then increasing its level must be taken into account in the dimensions of the doorway so that the gap under the door is correctly defined.

The next step is to measure from the top and bottom edges of the opening with an addition of 2 cm. This must be done so that the loops are at a further distance from the edges. Then, using a chisel, a groove is prepared with a chisel, a hole for the screws is drilled and the quality of the groove sample is checked for the hinges.

Now we need to collect the box. At the upper racks, the ends are cut at ∟45º. And on the other rack, designed for loops, mark the space for the lower and upper door hinge. The grooves in the door frame must be cut exactly as on the door itself.

When installing the hinges, you need to pay attention to the distances 1 and 2. If the sealant is applied to the door frame, then the distance 1 should be equal to the distance 2. And in the absence of a seal, the distance 1 should be more by 1.5 mm than the distance 2 to avoid Touching the door leaf and the porch.

Distance 1 - from the narthex to the edge of the loop on the box, and the distance 2 - from the edge of the door to the edge of the loop.

At ∟45º, the ends of the crossbeams are cut off, so that when assembling between the width of the door and the posts along the vertical, the distance is more than 5 mm, and between the floor and the door leaf - exactly 10 mm. All parts of the box are assembled with screws.

The finished block must be fixed in the opening with wood screws. The door box will be enough to fix in 3 places. Everything is almost ready, it remains to figure out how to install the interior door in the opening.

When the box is installed and fixed, it's time to install the door itself. If the hinge post is fixed correctly (vertically), the door will remain stationary in different positions. Then lock the rack. On the door leaf you need to bring out identical gaps between the crossbar and the posts vertically. The gap that appears between the box and the wall is filled with a mounting foam.

Well, now you are aware of how to install the interior door, which by faith and truth will serve for many more years.
