The intrigues that Queen Margot wove, Harry Potter with his secret room - what is all this associated with? And this is associated with secrets, secret rooms, into which no less secret door should lead. Secret corridors in ancient castles and secret doors hidden from everyone have always existed. Why are there doors or rooms - history knows about the existence of secret cities. Lovers of secrets still exist today, so let's talk about secret hidden doors.
The design of the secret door should be completely invisible. It literally merges with the wall decoration. This solution is ideal for all types of interiors and can be a great addition to them. Similar designs can often be found in apartments or houses - modern people also have something to hide. To equip such a door, you can use the services of various companies, or you can make it yourself.
There are many options for the device of secret passages. For example, you can hide the opening in the wall by finishing door leaf the same material that was used for wall decoration. You can also do secret door in a closet or as a mirror.
Why do people create hidden rooms in their apartments? There are a lot of options. For example, this could be a weapon storage room. According to the requirements, it should be stored in such a way as to ensure maximum safety when entering an apartment or a house by third parties.
Also, a secret door can hide safes. Often, special places are provided for them. But quite often people hide it behind doors that are inaccessible to outsiders.
Even in hidden rooms, you can store valuables, for example, a collection of paintings or jewelry. Even these solutions are used simply for storage, then an additional pantry never hurts.
Sometimes a hidden door is installed not in order to hide something, but according to the idea of the designers. It can look very impressive - invisible doors are very popular today.
The problem is that in fact no ready-made structures exist. Just eat specialized firms who are engaged in the manufacture and installation of a secret door. The point is, in each specific situation you need something individual.
Doors for painting are especially popular today. They do not have traditional handles, but they open from a push, or by pressing a special lever. It is located in an unknown place. This type of structure has one advantage - they can be easily hidden in a wall with any finish.
If there are voids in the house or apartment, then it is best if the secret door is a sliding door hidden in the wall. Very often, such solutions are chosen when at the same time it is necessary to create a secret room and there is practically no free space. Such doors are opened manually or with the help of automatic systems.
Many people hide hidden doors in wardrobes. This is done in order to hide the passage from anyone who might be interested in it.
If there are only “invisible doors” on sale and you can't just buy a real secret door, then you can always make it. These products do not have any complex designs. The whole process does not require much effort or expense.
In order for the result to be good, you must adhere to certain requirements. The door frame must be hidden or disguised - sometimes you can hide it by plasterboard sheathing. Hinges should also be of a hidden type. If it is a sliding system, then it must also be hidden.
Experts do not recommend using standard options door handles and locks. The plinth is fixed to the bottom of the canvas. If the canvas is disguised as one of the walls, then it should be flush with the wall surface.
This is the most affordable and easiest option. Straight curtains or draperies attract enough attention to mask the passage successfully and effectively.
Today there are many options for how to make a secret door. For example, a popular method is to disguise the door leaf under the wall. If you correctly implement this option, then even the most observant people will not be able to notice any door.
The simplest, but effective method- this is the finish of the door leaf under the wallpaper. To make the entrance as less noticeable as possible, you need to minimize the gap between the door and the wall. Also, do not forget about the skirting board.
An alternative way is simple painting... With this option, you can create unique effects. The wall can be painted with rectangles of different shades - the door will simply get lost among them.
The door between the tile seams is very effectively masked. You can apply not only tiles, but also decorative brick... The most important thing is that the door merges with the wall.
A great way to securely hide the door in the interior is to use a mirror cover. Mirrors on wardrobes, corridors and bedrooms look good.
It is quite simple to make such a door. It is necessary to fix the mirror sheet on the MDF-frame of the sheet. The frame is made of aluminum, at the top it is necessary to additionally fix the frame-handle. It will hide the seams and create the effect of framing the wall mirror.
Another option for making a secret door is to use paintings as a camouflage element. It is better to use samples of classical painting. This method partially resembles the solution with a mirror. The painting appears to be permanently installed, with its frame hiding the passage.
V modern interiors you don't need to use classical painting - wallpaper or any photographs will do. The main thing is the frame and the large aspect ratio.
Secret doors can be made easier - just buy an invisible door without finishing in a hardware store and finish it to match the color of the wall in the apartment. This is often enough.
The interior door occupies an important place in the interior of the room. It serves not only as an obstacle to noise, delimits space and allows privacy, but is also a noticeable decor item.
There are several reasons that may motivate you to decorate the interior door:
That is why sometimes it is much easier for the owner to update already installed door“On the spot,” that is, without changing the whole box, right here in the room. Of course, in some cases, you still have to remove the door from the hinges, but this is much easier and faster than starting a full-fledged repair. Whatever the reasons that prompted you to start decorating the interior door, we will say right away that often you do not need practically anything for this, except for the materials left over from the last repair.
So, we offer you 14 ideas for decorating an interior door that you might want to bring to life by decorating your interior.
The easiest way, without frills and unnecessary work, to put the door in order. To do this, you will first need to remove the door from its hinges, then go over it with a spatula, removing old paint, smooth the surface with sandpaper, seal cracks and scratches with putty, remove greasy stains, seal the glass with masking tape so as not to stain, and you can take a roller or brush in your hands! It is better to choose acrylic paint - it dries faster, and painting the door in a horizontal position - so the paint will not drain and will lay down more evenly. However, if it is convenient for you to do all of the above on a vertically standing door, you can not remove it from its hinges. Just remember to put something on the floor while painting so as not to stain the linoleum or laminate flooring.
White, plain painted door. Updating it or repainting it in a different color will not be difficult, although moldings and carvings need special, careful handling when sanding and removing a layer of old paint
The option is more complicated, although it is also associated with staining. In this case, we do not just paint the door in one color, but create a simple or complex geometric pattern from stripes, squares, rhombuses, and so on. The door must first be prepared, as in the first case - that is, cleaned of old paint and level the surface. However, in this case, we will need much more masking tape - it is with its help that you delimit the zones between stripes or rectangles. Also, so as not to buy multiple cans of paint different color, you can buy white paint (one liter is enough for the door), as well as several dyes with which you can experiment with shades.
Gold and white, blue and pale pink, bright stripes on a neutral background, rhombuses and winding lines - a variety of patterns and color combinations can appear on the canvas of your door
When choosing a geometric pattern, remember that a wide strip along the entire door leaf is more suitable for the country style, and for the classics it is better to choose other options, for example, paint the upper part of the door in a lighter shade and divide the parts with a horizontal strip
Also the painting of the door, which in general is not too different from the first option. However, in this case, we will focus on the moldings, painting them in a contrasting color. White and black are a great pairing, but already well-worn, so think about which colors would work best together. Designers have long recognized white and green, blue and yellow, red and dark blue as an excellent option. Such a door will look great both in a bohemian boudoir and in a strict classic living room.
The white door with highlighted black moldings is a real classic. By the way, if your door does not have such decorations, it is easy to make them yourself - special wooden thin strips are sold, which are simply nailed to the canvas.
An unexpectedly bright, pink door that looks especially aristocratic and attractive thanks to the white-highlighted frames
A very convenient and easy way to turn your door into a work of art, even if you do not have the talent of an artist. Ready-made stencils can be purchased in construction and specialized stores, or ordered on one of the sites, and the choice of drawings and patterns is very large. Then we just apply the stencil to the already prepared door and paint it on. Easy, fast and the result is very beautiful!
It is as easy as shelling pears to apply a drawing using a ready-made stencil, and the choice will allow you to choose an original inscription, an exotic pattern, and an unusual picture
Such a deliberately simple drawing can be easily created without stencils. It was the uneven lines and simplicity that became its main highlight.
Unlike all the options for decorating a door already listed, this option is not for everyone. To create a real masterpiece on an ordinary door, you need the talent of an artist and certain skills in working with brushes, since a roller is no longer enough here. Imagine that your door is a blank white canvas, on which, thanks to your skill, a beautiful landscape, a cheerful painting or an exquisite pattern will appear. Thin hand-painted painting always looks expensive and stylish, and you can achieve this effect by spending only on the purchase of paints.
Many European companies offer ready-made interior doors with artistic painting. They are, of course, not cheap, so you can try to create something similar with your own hands. Afraid it won't work? You can always just paint over a bad drawing!
Does your kid love to paint? Give him this opportunity - let him decorate the door to the children's room. Yes, such a naive, vivid drawing would be inappropriate in a strict living room, but as a decoration of a children's room - great option... Just agree with the young artist that the second half of the door is already your field for the embodiment of fantasies!
Usually, children's paints can be washed off very easily, so your aspiring artist can paint the door again every day. But you will have to pre-prepare the canvas, putting the door in order.
If you think that just applying paint is boring, and you are afraid to take up hand-painting, you can try to achieve an unusual texture, for example, the effect of a wooden surface or an antique door using a very simple fixtures... So, using a sponge, you can get a spotty surface, steel wool will help to achieve the effect of an old door, a hard brush - to create an expressive surface of denim. Special ready-made paints are also sold, perfectly imitating jeans, wood, canvas, velvet or slate board.
On such a door, painted to resemble a slate board, it is convenient to leave messages to household members
If all the previous ideas concerned only working with paints and brushes, then this method is suitable for those who do not want to mess with paint. Photo wallpaper will instantly transform the appearance of your interior door, turning it into bright element design. Of course, it is best to purchase wallpaper designed specifically for doors - in this case, your drawing will definitely look complete. Ready-made wall murals usually have a standard size of 86x220 centimeters, therefore, they are suitable only for standard doors, and without moldings and glass inserts. However, now many online stores offer custom-made door murals, so you can choose the option that is ideal for your door, with any pattern. You can trim doors and regular wall murals to fit, but this may make the drawing look unfinished.
How do you like this unusual option- a door that has been turned into a telephone booth with the help of photomurals?
Before gluing the wallpaper, the door must be cleaned of stains, and the surface must be leveled, sanded and degreased with a solvent. You can use the usual wallpaper glue, but PVA is much more reliable. The disadvantages of this option for decorating the door include the fact that a bright image will immediately catch the eye, so it can quickly get bored. In addition, photowall-paper on the door, due to frequent touches, will lose its original attractiveness. However, no one will prevent you from changing the wallpaper on the door to something more original in a couple of months.
Photo wallpapers with picturesque landscapes are especially popular.
Wall murals on the door will help to make a small room visually larger due to the increased panoramic perspective. And it is very easy to stick them on, for this you don't even need to remove the door from its hinges.
Previously, this decor option was very popular, but now many designers consider it bad manners. This does not prevent the usual wallpaper, "migrated" to the door, to remain a popular way of decorating the interior. Alternatively, you can buy cork wallpaper and varnish it on top for reliability. Their unusual texture will make the door more original.
Preparing the door is exactly the same as in the case of using photo wallpaper. The main advantage is cheapness, since you can use wallpaper left over from a previous repair, and ease of decoration. The main disadvantage is quick wear - wallpaper can peel off and tear at the joints.
Wallpaper glued not on the entire door, but on the parts highlighted by moldings, look more spectacular 
The door, covered with the same wallpaper as the walls, will literally merge with the interior. WITH back side the door, of course, is covered with other wallpaper so as not to stand out against the background of the wall of another room
This option will look especially cute and home-like. The door decorated with fabric looks original, the choice of fabrics is surprisingly wide today, but this method also has its drawbacks.
If you choose a single piece of fabric to decorate the door, you should take care of the original drawing.
First, when choosing a fabric, you should make sure that the glue does not stain it. Secondly, the edges of the fabric must be pre-processed, otherwise the protruding threads will not look very aesthetically pleasing. Thirdly, fabric-decorated doors are not suitable for every style of interior design. Those who are fond of patchwork, that is, creating canvases from different pieces of fabric, can turn their door into a real applique made of bright patches. By the way, if there is room for a glass insert on the door, you can hang a small curtain here, fixing it on a fishing line and small nails.
Very nice door, decorated with patchwork technology. The trouble is that to classic style the interior, such bright patches have not the slightest relation, this is an option, rather, for a "rustic" and colorful country
An option for creatives and a great idea for a teen's room. The door can be decorated with a poster and a picture of your favorite artist or band, sheets from an old geographic atlas or sheet music. Sticking on these paper sheets and posters is as easy as using regular wallpaper.
An old geographic map will be appropriate even on the interior door of an ordinary living room, but it is better to "lodge" posters in a teenager's room
This simple and not too expensive way to decorate a door is becoming more and more popular today. Vinyl decals can be purchased online, model size cost standard door starts from 2.5 thousand rubles, they are glued very easily, and they will last longer than ordinary photo wallpapers.
Stickers with such funny and at the same time useful inscriptions will not only decorate the doors, but also cheer up the guests. If you do not want to hide the entire door behind the stickers, it is quite possible to purchase small images - a butterfly, bright flower etc. They are cheaper, but appearance doors will transform thoroughly. Also popular are "informative" stickers, for example, on the door of an office, bathroom or toilet, which will tell guests what is hidden behind this door.
The elegant lady on this sticker will immediately inform the guests of the house that it is this door that hides the bathroom.
Often, the stickers can look like ordinary photo wallpaper, and sometimes like hand-painted on a white door or a child's drawing.
The technology of scrupulous cutting out of the vending images from paper and further composing applications from these pieces allows you to transform not only a casket or photo album cover, but also an ordinary door. Everything that a novice master of the ancient art of decoupage will need: paper drawings, napkins with a pattern you like, postcards and the like - everything from which you can cut a picture, a brush, PVA glue, scissors, glitter, acrylic varnish, contour and acrylic paint.
In the decoupage process, you can use literally anything - from scraps of old newspapers to greeting cards.
V short description the process looks like this: on the surface of the door we apply a layer of white acrylic paint, we wait for it to dry, then another layer - and again we wait until it is completely dry. Then we apply a layer of paint of the selected shade, and then we attach the cut paper drawings with PVA glue. At the same time, we try to glue the piece as evenly as possible, without folds and expel all air bubbles. With the help of glitter and contours, we can draw dots, stripes and other small details. Then we cover the finished painting with a layer of varnish. That's all. The rest is your imagination and beautifully selected drawings.
The decoupage technique allows you to create amazingly beautiful paintings, and the varnish coating will extend the life of the decor.
A door decorated with bright mosaics will be an excellent option for a bathroom; you can also decorate a metal entrance door in this way. Moreover, it is not at all necessary to use pieces of ceramics for these purposes - in this case, the door may turn out to be too heavy. Mosaics can be created from pieces of wood or veneer, or purchased ready-made made of glass.
In this case, a bright glass mosaic takes up most of the door, making it very unusual and cheerful.
The mosaic is fastened with special glue ("Moment" or liquid nails are suitable) on the prepared and cleaned surface. It is worthwhile to think over all the details of the pattern in advance by drawing a diagram of the arrangement of the pieces with a pencil. By the way, you can decorate with a mosaic not only the door itself, but also the box, highlighting the slopes using the selected pattern.
Creating a mosaic pattern is a huge scope for creativity. And if some part still falls, you can always attach it back
An old door can become a real art object, just a little imagination and effort is enough. To begin with, you can use one of the simplest ideas, and then, getting a taste, try yourself in the art of decoupage or painting. In any case, your door will definitely be one of a kind!
Tags:,Strength of character lies not in the ability to punch through walls, but in the ability to find doors. Better yet, not only be able to find them, but also be able to create these doors. This article will focus on how to realize your strength in everyday life and how to make a door with your own hands.
It would seem that the modern market is so wide that you can find a door of any shape, size and quality on it. But this is not always the case. Especially when it comes to an exclusive, a special kind of wood, a spectacular stained glass window, an outstanding form. Buying a standard factory design is boring and mediocre. And making a door with your own hands is a completely simple task, especially if you have a suitable canvas, a couple of skillful hands and a little time.
However, in order to make a beautiful and high-quality door yourself, you must first study the subtleties and nuances of the material, evaluate the complexity of technology and calculations, and identify pitfalls during its installation.
First you need to prepare all the materials and tools that you will need for work. Indeed, the final result is influenced not only by the quality of the raw materials themselves, but also by the quality and reliability of the auxiliary tools and materials that were used in the assembly and installation of the door. And this will require:
Regardless of what type of product needs to be made, whether it is interior, entrance or doors for a summer cottage, a single technology is used for all. Therefore, after studying this article, you can easily make homemade doors for any needs. In addition to the tools, you will also need the material itself. Typically choose an array from different breeds wood: oak, ash, birch, larch, pine.
Some people prefer exotic species: mahogany, wenge, beech. The choice depends on personal preference, the type of room and the overall concept of the interior.
When making a structure with your own hands, you need to take into account the fact that a wooden canvas will require preliminary processing, especially for hard wood. When choosing a wooden canvas, you need to focus on ensuring that the wood is even, smooth. There should be no cracks or knot holes. The selected board is first dried in a well-ventilated room at a temperature of about 25 ° C.
You can dry it outside, but only in dry weather, preferably in the summer of central Russia. Depending on the type of wood and its initial state, it can take up to ten days to dry the web.
Before proceeding to the manufacture of doors, you need to think about what type they will be (hinged or sliding), decide on the shape and design. The most important characteristics of all doors are functionality and appearance, because they will become an integral part of the interior.
Let's characterize the main models:
It is advantageous to use such a sliding door fastening system for thin partitions in apartments.
A standard hinged door consists of several parts:
If the fabric of the product is not a monolithic board from an array, but has several components, it is necessary to clarify what they will be made of and what is their functional purpose. The frame of the structure is the frame. It sets the main dimensions of the product, gives it rigidity and shape. The outer visible part of the canvas is represented by sheathing. In this capacity, not only wood panels can serve, but also plastic profiles or glass stained-glass windows.
If the task is to make the front door, then you need to take care of the insulation, which is placed inside, under the cladding.
This article will provide information on how to independently make a door of the simplest design with a hinged fastening mechanism, without insulation and complex cladding options such as glass decorative elements and carved panels.
Seven times measure cut once. This proverb will be more appropriate than ever when making your own door. Indeed, the final result will depend on how correctly the measurements are made. And you don't have to figure out which parts to measure. All the main parameters have long been known, it is enough just to write them down on a sheet of paper and measure them using a regular construction tape.
It is imperative to measure:
When determining the width of the product, it is recommended to measure the distance between the side parts of the opening in the floor area, in the center of the opening and at the upper border of the opening and find the average value. If necessary, if these values differ, the opening can be trimmed.
For an interior door, the width is usually 80-90 cm, for an entrance door - 90-120 cm. The height of the door is determined by the height of the opening and is approximately 200-210 cm. Measurements are taken with the same tape measure from the floor to the top point of the doorway.
It should be borne in mind that if the apartment does not yet have flooring, then the measured height will not be entirely accurate, therefore for a start it is recommended to finish work with the floor so that all the parameters of the future door are taken into account correctly. When determining the height of the door, measurements are also carried out at three points (extreme left, center and extreme right).
The thickness of the doorway is measured similar to the width of the door. You just need to take into account that the width of the box will be slightly larger, since it is necessary to leave a distance between the door and the box for free movement of the door. And yet, when forming the box, it should be remembered that its width should be several centimeters less than the measured width of the opening, since it is necessary to leave technological voids during installation.
The thickness of the doorway is measured at six points (thickness at the bottom, middle, top for the left edge and the same positions for the right edge). This parameter will depend on the thickness of the wall into which the door will be mounted. For the entrance, it is usually more than for the interior, but there are exceptions. Here you should also pay attention to the presence of non-standard dimensions of the thickness of the opening. In this case, it is necessary to provide supplements that will compensate for this moment.
In order to simplify the installation of the structure, it is necessary to first determine the evenness of the opening... Via building level check the vertical of the opening (three points) and the diagonal. Using a tape measure, measure the distance inside the opening diagonally, from the top corner to the bottom, for each side. Both values should be approximately equal. In the event of strong deviations, not only the appearance of the structure will deteriorate, but also the reliability of the fastening system is called into question.
After the basic parameters have been measured, proceed to the correction of irregularities and distortions. To do this, they carry out plastering of these places or cut off the excess with the help of a grinder. Ideal option alignment of the opening with drywall sheets can become.
Elimination of the shortcomings identified in the process of measuring the dimensions of the product will certainly have a positive effect on further work and will eliminate many unpleasant moments during installation.
Modern market oversaturated different options doors from a variety of materials. However, the tree remains traditional. Due to its high quality indicators, as well as the property of being perfectly combined with wooden furniture and parquet board, wooden doors have become more in demand, especially in the interiors of apartments and country houses.
In addition to its aesthetic characteristics, wooden crafts have a number of other advantages: the strength of the material, ease of processing of the material, the ability to retain heat, good sound insulation, as well as environmental friendliness.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that if the choice fell on a wooden door, then all other parts must also be made of wood (box, platbands, extensions).
Among the shortcomings of wood, one can note the flammability, the ability to absorb moisture and expand, and, of course, the high cost.
The most popular, but not the easiest to manufacture, are paneled doors. It is better to use ready-made cutters as internal inserts, since cutting them yourself is laborious work. On the construction market, you can purchase a set of cutters for a future door. To save on material, the door leaf can be made of boards, instead of a wide monolithic leaf.
If you need to make a door to a summer cottage or a bathhouse, you can use even cheaper materials. A good alternative to solid wood would be a plywood door. It's pretty durable material, during its manufacture, the peeled veneer sheets are glued to each other so that the fibers of one sheet are perpendicular to the fibers of the other. The outer layers of plywood are pasted over with aspen, pine or larch veneer (these types of veneer have good strength and aesthetic appearance).
Lining products are also an inexpensive option. The advantage of this material is that in order to make a door, it is not necessary to use factory lining, you can make separate profiles from scrap materials.
In addition to natural materials, synthetic polycarbonates are widely used. The choice of this material for the manufacture of the door is advantageous when it is assumed that the structure will be influenced by unfavorable weather(humidity, temperature). But if earlier polycarbonate was used for the manufacture of greenhouses, now it is easily used for entrance doors, the main thing is to provide a reliable base and insulation.
If desired, you can build a structure from other polymers. An aluminum frame with plexiglass inserts is often made. Looks pretty stylish, but these materials are quite expensive.
Before you start assembling the door frame, you need to study its structure. So, the door frame consists of four main parts: two pillars (the longest parts), a threshold and an upper crossbar (short parts). To begin with, measure the length of the racks. In the case of using a threshold, it is equal to the length of the door plus 2-3 centimeters for the gap on each side. If there is no threshold, then instead of a gap from the bottom, add 15-20 centimeters. This will allow the door to move freely from the floor.
The measured values are traced on the canvas and each rack is cut out with a special knife.
The crossbar and the threshold are the same components. Their length consists of the width of the door, the same two gaps and the thickness of the frame. The measured dimensions are transferred to a wooden canvas and one or two elements are cut out, depending on the need for a threshold. In the upper crosspiece of the box, grooves are cut out, marking the lines where the racks intersect with the upper crossbar, and carefully cut these sections with a jigsaw on each side.
After all the grooves have been cut, the uprights and crossbar are aligned on the floor to make sure they match. After that, the cut out parts are carefully sanded with sandpaper, eliminating all irregularities and rough roughness. When all the elements of the box are ready, you can start assembling.
In order to assemble the structure, you will need a drill or screwdriver. A 2-3 mm drill is inserted into the screwdriver and holes are drilled in the aligned corners of the future box. These holes will keep the material intact when screwing in the screws. Screw the screws into each hole with a Phillips drill. The door frame is almost complete.
To make sure that the box is made correctly, you need to place it on the floor and put the selected door leaf inside, assessing the presence of gaps between them. It is worth noting that if the task is to independently make a sliding structure, then you need to take into account its distinctive mechanism. When such a door is opened, it will move to the side like a pencil case (enter the wall or lie on it), therefore, when forming the box, a groove for the door should be provided in one of the racks.
Now let's look at how to make the door itself. For outbuildings, the door will be a simple shield made of separate boards, fastened together with wooden straps. Interior wooden doors should have a more aesthetic appearance; simple fittings are not applicable here.
The work should be carried out on a joinery stand or on a table that will allow the product to be fully positioned on it.
To form the door leaf, grooved boards with grooves are used (you can also cut the grooves yourself). The thickness of the boards should be from 2.5 to 4 centimeters, depending on whether it is an interior or an entrance door. Prepared boards are folded into a shield. If grooved boards are taken, then the grooves are removed on the outer boards using a circular saw.
The boards are glued together with carpentry glue, while the pattern of the annual rings must be observed (they must lie in the same direction so that an imbalance does not stand out on the finished product). The blank of the door is placed in a vice in order to combine the elements more tightly, and the glue is allowed to dry. After that, the entire surface of the web is passed with a milling machine, special attention is paid to joints and uneven fragments.
If the thickness of the boards is not sufficient to use the door as an entrance, then you can glue the boards in two layers. Such a door will be quite massive and heavy.
Next, proceed to the design of the finished shield. Using a stencil, transfer the drawing onto a wooden canvas, first with a pencil. Using a router with a manual mechanism, they carefully cut out the pattern, changing the cutters. The finished drawing and the canvas itself should be treated with sandpaper, then blotted with a special antiseptic solution. If the door is entrance, then it must be treated with moisture-resistant agents and fire retardants. So it will last much longer.
On the door frame, mark the places where the hinges will be located. Marks are also made on the door leaf in the appropriate places. To do this, put it in a vertical position, the top will be on the side where the hinges are attached. On the reverse side, mark the location of the castle. Previously, the door is placed in a box, the marking is checked, the location of the lock tongue on the box is marked, then the hinges are inserted, then they are applied to the door and to the box, drilled with a drill. The tongue is carefully cut with a jigsaw.
In order to correctly install the door lock, it is first applied to the installation site on the product, circled, and all the necessary technological holes are marked with dots. After the depth of installation of the lock has been determined, it is placed in the marked place and screwed on. Now that all the parts are ready, you need to install them correctly.
First, we insert the door frame into the opening. We align and secure it with wedges. You can adjust the box already mounted in the wall by hitting the wedges with a hammer. Then dowels and self-tapping screws are inserted into the holes drilled in the wall and box. And the last and most important thing is the assembly of the door and the frame.
It is better to perform this operation together to avoid injury, since the door leaf is a heavy structure. Holding the door in weight, we fix the hinges with self-tapping screws.
After the assembly of the main parts is completed, you can do the platbands. It is easier to buy ready-made in the store or make it yourself using wooden blanks 1-1.5 cm thick and a simple jigsaw. Each edge of the casing is cut at a 45 degree angle and adjusted to length. Finished products are fixed at the level of the box using wood glue or small nails.
In general, the work on installing the door, with a competent approach and high-quality materials, will take no more than two days. And the above recommendations can be used to make doors from other materials, changing only some of the tools.
Giving the finished product a finished look will help finishing... You can also do it yourself, it is more pleasant and less complicated work than installing and assembling the door itself. Door finishing can be done as follows:
So how to make an interior door yourself without using any ultra-modern technologies and unique machines? It's actually quite simple. Naturally, you cannot do without a certain skill of working with certain tools. You should not be afraid of failure, especially if the case is happening for the first time, since the next time you can take into account all the mistakes. With the first door made, you can get necessary knowledge, but the subsequent ones lead to the accumulation of experience.
Then it is necessary to mark the places for the handle, the same applies to the lock, if it will be installed in the door. The markings are made in accordance with the door frame. The middle transverse board should be located exactly at this door height. After that, the workpiece is leveled, while you should not forget about the right angles, and the markings of the joints of the boards and their location on the fiberboard are performed. Several marks must be made on the extreme transverse boards, which must be drilled in the future.
