| Trimming the New Door As I mentioned before many articles have said that you may want to use your old door as a pattern for the new door. If you are measuring the door from scratch then you should allow a 1/8" bottom space as well as a 1/16" top and side space. If the door is fitted for your living room or another carpeted floor, then you will probably have to have a 3/4" clearance. Once you have your measurements you must then trim and plane the wooden door using a fine-tooth saw and good plane to make sure the finish is of the highest quality. Prepare New Door for Hinges Now that the door is trimmed and ready to be fitted back onto the frame and hung, the new places for the hinges must be carved out and fitted into the frame and door. Similarly with the trimming of the door, using the old door can help, as you can then find the proper location for hinges to go. You must use a pencil to outline the hinge, for the cutting in the wood. Then once this is completed you must carefully chisel out the wood where the hinge will be located with numerous cuts to the depth of the hinge leaf. Hanging your New Door You can find a useful article on this part, if you require more information, please view the EG Doors article ‘How to hang a door’ at www.egdoors.co.uk/how-to-hang-a-door.php. Once everything has been trimmed, planed and cut into it is then time to put the hinges on so you can attach between the frame and door. It is very important to secure them with strong screws as this door will be opened and closed (hopefully) thousands of times. You must insert hinge pins by starting with top hinge as it is easier and more beneficial to start from the top so the wood does not split. If you have followed the instructions and taken time and care with this project then your door should be hanging correctly. Now stick on the kettle you have earned it! |
