First of all, it is worth realizing that without practical experience, before installing the loops on the door, you can easily ruin the entire surface of the canvas. Should be studied on the material «for painting». MDF, tinted array and other “finished” doors, it is better to leave specialists. At the same time, the rejection of your own installation will significantly delay the production of an invaluable skill.
One of the advantages of independent installation of doors is the use of the simplest tool, without which it will be difficult for a home master to support the functionality of wooden products. But, if you have to purchase highly specialized equipment, its presence will allow you to go beyond the capabilities of a home specialist.
Tools
The minimum tool implies:
Hacksaw with a wide canvas
Knock 70 — 100mm
Axe
Hammer
Straxics (20 — 60mm)
Scurgery, drill
Drill and cutters, without which the installation of latches in the interior doors will be a serious test for the beginner
Measuring tool
Selection of material
From the existing assortment of unpainted doors, only glued products can be a worthy option. Firstly, high-temperature technology gives sufficient strength even large phylenes and partitions. And secondly, this method allows you to reduce the cost through the use of diverse material.
Important: when giving preference to inexpensive models, you should pay attention to the thickness of the door leaf (40mm — the norm) and the quality of grinding. The product should not have curvature in width and length. The backlash of the elements relative to the strapping, is also unacceptable. And the absence of «dead» (black, cracked) knots will serve as a key to long -term operation.
Material for the box and platbands are purchased with a margin of 10 cm — this will avoid errors when adjusting the elements. After all, the dimensions of the door boxes of interior doors may differ from the bathroom boxes. Moreover, the profile of the bar is the same everywhere.
The choice of fittings
There are no clear rules for the selection of accessories for interior doors, but no matter how extravagant the thinking of a homegrown designer, first of all, you should pay attention to the color correspondence of the handles and loops. The second point in the list of priorities marks practicality, so rusting steel loops are not a very good choice.
The door attached to the box with fittings at the right end is customary to call the «right». It implies the presence of right loops. The left is mounted on the canvas, which will be hung with the left side to the box. The exception is unusable loops (revealed in both directions), but due to the impossibility of operational dismantling of the door, such accessories are rarely used.
Tip: To determine which loop lies in your hand is quite simple, it is enough to expand it with the front side to yourself and disconnect: a wing with a pin sticking upwards on the right — belongs to the kit for the “right” door, on the left — for the “left”.
Handles and latches are also tied to one side, although, in round models, a versatile position is due to the features of the internal mechanism. But for the phylenny doors, where the correspondence of the depth of the mechanism width of the door binder is more significant. Therefore, you should refuse to purchase accessories before measuring the interior door can be yourself.

Assembly and installation of the interior door
The box is assembled on the floor, taking into account the lower clearance, t. To. The door should not cling to the carpet. Exception-bathroom (closed box, from 4 bars).
The optimal distance between the canvas and the box is 4mm, and small pieces of fiberboard will help to withstand the necessary gap, even in the process of marking and fitting.
The installation of loops on the interior doors is as simple as possible: on the end of the fabric, the required place is selected with a chisel, loops are attached and the canvas is invested in the box, where, taking into account the gaps, the attachment places are also marked.
For a door up to 80 cm wide, only 2 loops can be used. Each of which is fixed at the same distance (1.5 loop length) from the nearest edge. The width of the canvas is more than 85 cm, or weight, from 40 kg — involve at least 3 loops.
After that, the box is placed in level in the opening and fixed using small bars. The boxes driven in the joints of the boxes, they are necessary for accurate refinement. And the door hung on the loops will indicate a bias of the box with arbitrary movements.
The platbands are cut in the place, but it is not yet worth the end of them yet, otherwise the internal surfaces of the molested elements of the door box will remain unprocessed.
The handle is inserted using a drill with a milling cutter of the corresponding diameter, taking into account the growth of the owners (usually 90 cm). You can exclude the appearance of distortion by working on the removed canvas. The lock plate can be cut without disassembling the boxes.
They paint the door, box and platbands, after removing the fittings and excluding the dusting of the room. Protective varnishing can be performed after the end of work in the interior opening.
The final fixation of the box can be performed by several anchor fruits and through mounting foam. The difference in the proposed options is only in ways to prevent changes in the geometry of the box:
1) Installation by means of anchors implies the presence of duplicate wedges, from above and below the metiz
2) Before filling the space with foam, it is necessary to install spacer strips of the same length across the opening of the opening.
