Double interior doors (advantages and disadvantages)

pros

1. The convenience of such doors is one of the important advantages. The pendulum system facilitates the opening of doors in both directions at the same time, without putting special efforts.
2. A variety of design of this type of door is not limited.
3. Their appearance will give your house sophistication, hospitality and comfort.
4. The selection of double doors for non -standard door openings is much simpler than single -leaf.

Minuses

This design does not have significant drawbacks, except that with small volumes of the living space, it may simply not come up, and by installing it in such conditions, with beauty you can also gain discomfort. To solve such a problem, many opt for sliding doors. This compact option for small areas is the most optimal, and their mechanism for opening and closing the door is just as quiet and smooth.

Types of double doors

Before buying double doors, you must understand what it is and what species happens.

1. The design has two principles of action - swing and sliding.
2. Type of design: phylencial glazed, phylene deaf and massive.
3. They are made of aluminum, glass, wood, plastic, as well as MDF.

Having decided on the dimensions of the door and design, as well as having made its purchase for a while, you can forget about it, since there is still a lot of work at the dismantling of the old door and its box at home. Do not forget about the preparation of a place for installing a new one. As for the door frame, here you can make it yourself or buy it. The width of the box must correspond to the width of the wall, in no case protruding beyond the limits, in the event that the box is already, you can use the inputs. It is properly appropriate for the height of the box, which is equal to the height of the doorway. When buying loops, think through which of the parties, the opening will take place so that there is no difficulty at the finish stage.

Dismantling the old door and preparing the doorway

Initially, it is necessary to remove the old door from the hinges, and only then proceed to extract the box. With the help of mounting or scrap, carefully unscrew the box, and then clean the opening from the remaining cement. If the cement is solid and does not lend itself to easy removal and at the same time its surface will not interfere with the installation of a new box, then you can do with the removal of the previous foam. The place has been prepared, and now we focus on the door frame, which is not necessary to buy, or you can create it yourself.

Assembly and types of door box

The door box is a frame of bars, which is two types of P -shaped and rectangular. The rectangular box is often used for interior doors, in the bathroom and toilet, and all other options are perfectly suitable for doors without a threshold.

Stages of assembly of the door frame:

1.Initially, before assembling a boxed beam, we need to adjust its dimensions to a double door.

The final result will turn out to be as follows:

SHVK \u003d 2*(SHD+3) +4, where

SHVK box width from the inside;

The width of the door itself.

2.Having made all the measurements and markings, we cut off a box block at an angle of 45 degrees, which is made with an elementary hacksaw with a small tooth.

3. The further action will be the cut of the loop into the vertical part, both boxes and doors.

With a hammer with a chisel or a mill, we carefully make cuts in which the loop then fit. But, buying overhead loops, you can do without cutting.

4. At the finish of the work of assembling the box, it remains only to collect all the details in a pile.

By applying the parts to each other, we twist them with three screws, but before that it is advisable to drill a hole with a smaller diameter than the diameter of the screwed connector, which will avoid cracking during screwing the fastener element.

Installing the loop and its quality is also an important moment of your entire work. The reliability of the door and the process of opening and closing the process depend on its correct choice and installation, since a loop, absolutely any kind, is an important element that stands between the door and the box, but not just standing, but uniting them.

Installation of loops on the door interior

Many of us believe that 2 loops are more than enough for the reliability of the interior door, but as practice shows this is not always the case. It all depends on the weight of the door and its size, therefore it is recommended to install another additional loop in the middle.

• The layout of the locations should be started from the top of the door, retreating 25 cm, and from this mark another 50 cm, in the same way measure 25 cm from the bottom of the canvas.
• Then, using a pencil, we emphasize the edges of the loop of the upper and lower edge.
• Turning the doors to the rib, we put the open loop so that the groove will speak beyond the edge of the canvas.
• Having leveled a canopy with previously drawn lines, we circle the outline of the sash.
• Against the wood fibers, we cut off the part to the mark unnecessary to us.
• In order for the loop to lie perfectly, neatly align and release the marked place, not forgetting that the tree from heavy loads can crack.
• Having fitted all the details, we screw the canopies to the door with screws, the minimum length of which is 3.5 cm.

With the installation box, everything happens approximately the same:

• The placement of the loop in an upright position.
• Then we insert the door into the box, observing the gap to 4 mm between the canvas and the upper beam.
• Having pulled out the door, cut the groove with a chisel and then, inserting the door back, cut the loop into a standing door box.
• After checking their functionality several times, make sure the door enters the box without hooks.

Installation of the box in the doorway

The installation of the box can be carried out with the hung door or without it. Before installing, to avoid subsequently problems with cleaning construction foam, it is better to protect the surface with paper, tape or other suitable material. The box of the interior double door is installed strictly vertically using a level or a construction plumb line.

1. Initially, a stand with hinges and the upper crossbar are originally put up.

2. With the help of manipulations, align them perfectly evenly.

3. The next step is to burst out the elements of the box using wedges.

4. Then again we check the location of the rack, it is considered exhibited if it takes a strictly vertical position.

5. After that, the second rack is installed in a similar way. If necessary, if the walls of the room are not even, the door frame needs to be adjusted by using special small lining.

6. Both side racks of the box are drilled through the holes for the dowels, and we fix the block in the wall with long durable screws.

However, there is another way to attach the box in the opening using special glue liquid nails. Initially, the glue should be applied to the tree, then install the frame and put the spacers. It is better to put the fabric under the spacers to avoid scratching the door. The advantage of this method is that there is no need to make holes.

  Installation of a double door

Before you start fixing the interior double door on its motionless canvas, it is necessary to mount a crossbar - a metal pin, which is protruded from the ends during locking.

Stages of Rigel installation:

• Initially, at the estimated place of placement of the crossbar, marking is applied.
• Then a hole is drilled, the depth of which should correspond to the thickness of the pin, and the diameter is 3-4 mm less than its width. In order for the door to close without a backlash, the holes should be made with a small angle.
• With the help of a cutting carpentry and stump tool, a groove is adjusted to the required width and depth. After that, the crossbar is inserted and fixed with screws.

Now we proceed to the installation of the most double door - a canopy of paintings and their thorough fit to each other, using supports and racks.

Stages of installing a double -leaf door:

1. We install the first door and immediately check how it closes. If the strapping rubs on the jamb, it is necessary to deepen the grooves. If the door walks, then we put small cardboard under the wings of the loops.

2. Then, in the same way, we mount the second door.

After the complete adjustment of the double door, the loops must be fixed with the other screws. In order to not affect the location of the structure during the fixation between the base of the opening and the elements of the box, set the wood pads.

It is worth remembering that after installing the doors, it is not recommended to carry out work that will cause an increase in humidity in the room, for example, plaster, primer, paint walls, etc.

Drowning

Before the start of this stage of installation of interior double doors, the surface should be carefully prepared in order to avoid further difficulties associated with the removal of mounting foam. For this, the door should be thoroughly closed with plastic, and pour the door box with painting tape. After this, the space between the wall and the box is carried out. Then, within 2-3 hours, the mounting foam should completely dry.

It is important that the foam has a low expansion coefficient, since otherwise the box can bend.

Installation of the castle

The locking of the lock is one of the most difficult manipulations in the installation of an interior double door. The thing is that this stage requires surgical accuracy, since the smallest discrepancy between the locking and response part can cause jamming, which will subsequently lead to the need to reinstall the castle, and this will spoil the appearance of the door. In addition, the difficulty is that it is necessary to insert a canopy. Therefore, this stage should be treated with special responsibility.

1. Initially, the castle body is applied to the end of the door at the planned height, then it is circled by an awl.

2. After that, it is necessary to make a groove, the depth of which is equal to the length of the lock.

3. The next stage is the premises of the castle body. If the hole for the lock is made correctly, then its bar will be flush with the plane of the end.

The cost of double -leaf interior doors

The total price of a double doors depends, first of all, on the material itself from which the doors are made. The structures made of solid wood are most expensive. Materials such as chipboard and MDF are significantly inferior in value. The price of a double doors also forms the presence and type of mortise lock.

Two -browning interior doors of the economy class, of course, attract their availability. But you must know what this cheapness is achieved.

Firstly, such doors suggest voids inside. The manufacturer significantly saves on the material, which leads to a decrease in the cost of finished products.

Secondly, the coating is most likely made artificial. For example, take a veneer of a thin layer of wood, which to serve to cover the products, if it is unnatural, then it is simply an artificial laminated coating.
