The market is replete with two -sash door models. All of them are very different — the difference, first of all, by material and components, from which double -barrel doors are made. Plastic doors, PVC structures, MDF doors, metal (mainly aluminum), glass and classic wooden doors. All materials are individually selected for the style and format of the doors. If you need to emphasize the status of the room, it is best to use doors from an array of various wood species. If the goal is a modern interior, then aluminum, glass and plastic structures will fit as well as possible.
According to their constructive features, all doors are divided into arched -type doors, glazing doors, phylene doors and doors from a dull canvas.
Doors with two sash will give the interior the premises «highlight». They are convenient and ranked to the category of elite door structures. They are usually silent enough.
If the choice is made in favor of double doors — it’s time to think about installing. It can be carried out both on its own and with the involvement of an experienced master-installer.
How to install a double door correctly
First of all, it is necessary to dismantle old doors, remove them from the hinges and dismantle the box. This is easiest to do with a mount or small crowbar. Pieces of cement in the opening is better to delete.
The second stage — froze the resulting opening. Since manipulations with a change in the configuration and size of the opening are very complex and costly, the door must be chosen, strictly following the measurements made. It is important to take into account the thickness of the wall in which the opening is located. The box is selected in accordance with this width. Most often, the boxes are less than the wall thickness in their thickness. Here special strips help out — dobages. The loops are selected depending on which direction the door opening is planned. The more correctly the measurements are made, the easier the installation process will be in the future.
The assembly of the box must be carried out on a flat surface. You can lay a sheet of chipboard. The box is assembled from vertical bars and tributaries, the so -called ceiling beam. The ceiling beam is subject to the first pruning. Then — side bars — in height of the doorway and at an angle of forty -five degrees in the joints. Speaking work is carried out by a end saw, and fastening — using self -tapping screws.
Then, at an altitude of about twenty centimeters from the upper and lower edge of the door leaf, loops crash. Loads for the loop are omitted by a chisel.
Then the box and door are applied to each other and mark the place of fastening of the loop on the bars of the door box. The recess is also prepared for them, and the loops are attached to the place for self -tapping screws in pre -drilled holes.
Hidden and open installation
You need to be careful and prevent the loops to change places. The installation of the door frame must be carried out strictly vertically, checking the level or plumb line. The most common is the so -called «hidden installation».
Fastening screws in this case are located as follows: two self -tapping screws are attached to the loops, and one under the bar. In places of fastening of the screw between the door frame and the wall, pieces of plywood are laid no thicker than twenty millimeters. Self -tapping screws crash in turn: first under the upper door loop, and then under the lower. After inserting the screws into the upper loop, the observance of verticality is checked. After that the door of the door is renewed. It must be adjusted. And at the last turn, the self -tapping screw crashes under the bar, which includes the latch of the castle.
Less common — open installation. Self -tapping screws are attached opposite each other on top of the loops (upper and lower) and in the middle between the loops. The holes for screws after preliminary measurements are drilled with a drill or a perforator. After installing the door frame of the head of the screws, the screws are hidden using special plugs used to assemble furniture.
Installation of the castle
The next stage is the installation of the castle. This is one of the most difficult stages. Accuracy is necessary here. It depends on the accuracy of installing the response and locking part of the lock whether the door lock will work. This work is carried out on an already assembled door using drills of different diameters and a construction chisel.
The lock of the lock is planned at the place of its proposed installation at the end of the door leaf. The seizure for the lock is prepared using a chisel and drill.
We insert the lock and already circle the place where the bar will be located. If all the manipulations are made with sufficient accuracy, the bar will be set on a flush with the end of the door.
Holes for the cylinder lock mechanism are drilled after their preliminary marking.
Holes for fasteners under the bar are drilled in advance in advance. To install the response of the door lock, you can use easily erased paint, which will give a clear imprint of the place under the bar. Next, with the help of a chisel, a place for the castle tongue and the bar itself is prepared.
Handles are attached depending on the lock used. The spindle is inserted into the hole in the lock case, then the handle lining is installed.
The assembled door around the perimeter is placed with mounting foam. To protect the canvas and the boxes, they are glued with masking tape or closed with polyethylene. To minimize the possibility of deformation of the doors, a wedge is used — in the amount of three pieces, placing them the same in height.
