The installation of internal/external doors is a process which requires a lot of attention to detail. Wheter being indoor or outdoor doors the method is same, you must be accurate and neat and be aware of the plans. Some doors are required to swing or slide in a specific direc
tion which should be noted on the plans.
When starting the installlation of doors, you will require a clean and neat area. If you are working above carpet or tiles, you will be required to put down some form of protection on the ground to prevent any damage that may occur.
Once your area is ready, you can start measuring up your door. If there are other doors in the building, copying the height and position of hinge’s, door handle and other hardware would be the best way to go about finding the positioning of your hardware.
Once you have marked out your door and jamb for your hardware, double check it. Then you can start chiseling out your materials. A sharp chisel is always required as it is easier to use and it is good practise to look after you tools.
After you have completed the last task, you may start pre-drilling your timber where the hinge holes are, this will prevent any chance of splitting. You may then place your door into its positiion and screw it up.
If your jamb has been installed correctley and in plumb, your door should be hung well with a gap of about 2-3mm all the way around the perimeter of the door.
Once you have completed the task competently, you can start to clean your area and pack away your tools. When packing away your tools you must ensure everything is packed away neatly, safely and in its appropriate place. Also free any tools of any debris or unwanted material that may cause damage or faults with your equipment. Once your tools are packed away you can start cleaning the site. This means removing any rubbish and unwanted materials and putting it in the bin, then sweep up so the job looks presentable to the client.
