Manufacturing of doors with their hands

Doors, house and various outbuildings are created by the same scheme.The differences are present only used fittings, various kinds of reinforcing elements and methods of finishing.

also order the manufacture of doors will be slightly different depending on the selected material.Presented instructions will help you understand the features of the creation of doors made of wood and metal.

Making wooden door

Start by preparing the necessary tools and materials.

set for

1. Hand mill.
2. Hand circular saw.
3. Bulgarka with a grinding wheel.Instead grinders can use a drill with a special grinding attachment.
4. screwdriver or electric.
5. Hammer.
6. chisels.
7. Screwdrivers.
8. Mallet.
9. Measuring tools.
10. Board 4x10 cm or 4x15 cm best option -. Dry planed boards.On the making of a standard web takes about 6 m boards, but it is recommended to buy the material with a small margin.
11. chipboard.It is desirable that this material accurately matches the color of the maximum future door.
12. PVA glue.
13. SCREW.
14. Coating materials to choose from.

Guide manufacture

first stage

Prepare the board to create a frame.Carefully polish the material using the grinder with a grinding wheel or the electric drill with the appropriate nozzle.In need of polishing the surface of the broad boards.ends can not perform processing, they are formed on the milling step.

second stage

Proceed to milling.At this point, you need a special hand tool with a set of cutters.

Little Round the corners of boards.Then, using the appropriate cutters take on one of the long ends of the groove.Groove length - the whole face, the width - in accordance with chipboard thickness (in most cases, it amounts to 1.6 cm), the optimum depth - 1.5-2 cm

Paz should be strictly on the center of the end..

third stage

Proceed to trim the ends of the boards.This will help you circular saw.Cut off the ends of the boards at 45 degrees.

This vertical boards length should be 2 m (standard).The width is typically maintained in the range of 70-80 cm.

fourth stage

Proceed with cutting chipboard.If desired, you can just buy the material in size and to avoid cutting.

To determine the correct insertion length of the material in question using a formula according to which the width of the door leaf is taken away double the width of the board prepared, and then the resulting value added created by the double depth of the groove.

fifth stage

Perform pre-assembled doors.To do this, tamp boards on chipboard.Make sure that the location of each board, the absence of gaps and other defects, and then set the SCREW.

SCREW To install, you must first make a hole at the bottom and top of the door leaf.

sixth stage

Make the necessary holes and grooves for the installation of canopies (loops), pens and eye (if the front door is made).

decorating doors

finishing options are many.Experienced owners recommend to pay attention to finishing by laminating or veneering.In the absence of relevant skills will be enough just to paint the door.

For the best possible performance of painting works, use a spray bottle and a compressor.In their absence you can try to do simple manual painting tools, but this work will take much more time and effort.

door held sanding and additional preparation prior to painting does not need.Coating compositions choose at its discretion.The number of layers of paint and is determined individually according to the desired shade and depth of color required.At the end of the door is recommended varnish.

This homemade wooden door ready.It only remains to mount the necessary hardware and install the door in the prepared opening.

In this technology not only made blind fabric, but also doors with glass inserts.Training places for inserts is to create a sheet of chipboard in the respective holes.The glasses are fixed with the help of decorative quarters, pre-painted in the color of the base web.

Front doors are also made in a similar manner, but instead of the insert of chipboard is usually used solid frame, plating is carried out using more appropriate for such a material event (veneer, plywood, etc.), And the space between the frame rails is filled with insulation with good noise insulationproperties.

Making metal doors

To make this work you need to have some skill with the appropriate tools.In their absence, the pre-work-out, so as not to spoil the materials used.

set for

1. sheet steel not less than 1.5 mm thick.
2. hinges.Pick based on the weight of the door of the future.
3. Metal Corner.
4. Accessories.
5. material for plating.
6. Electric drill.
7. Polyurethane foam.
8. Apparatus for welding.
9. welding table or other suitable device for stacking workpieces during assembly.
10. anchor bolts.
11. angle grinders.

This list may vary according to the characteristics of your chosen door design.For example, in the case of a door required a thicker material.Or you can make the door of the "sandwich".Such structures are assembled with the use of two steel sheets, between which the space is filled with insulating material.

frame

first step. Measure the doorway.Usually its height is 2 m, and the width can vary from an average of 60 to 100 cm.

Pre recommended to get rid of the coating on the walls of the opening, asit can lead to errors when removing measurements.

second step. start manufacturing the door frame.Dimensions of this design element is selected so that after the installation of the box between it and the walls of the opening was a 2-inch gap.

said gap will allow you to adjust the position of the door leaf during installation.After leveling the door you close up the gap with the help of foam.

third step. Cut metal corner on the size of the box.Optimally suited corners with shelves 5h2,5 see. Lay the workpiece on any suitable flat surface in the form of a rectangle the size of the door frame.

Measure the diagonal of the rectangle.If they are the same length, the figure has right angles.When deviations are detected immediately correct them and then cook the metal corners in a single structure.

canvas

first step. determine the optimal size of the frame.Pick sizes element so that between it and the box remained 1.5-cm gap width and gap of 2 cm in height.

second step. Cut the corner of the required length, lay it on a flat surface in the form of a rectangle, and weld the frame.

third step. With grinder cut metal profile connector for tapping the door lock.

fourth step. Weld loop profile to the box and half loops.

fifth step. Carefully measure the gap between the loops on the frame and the door frame.It is important that the measurements match, otherwise when attaching webs may be problems.

sixth step. Place the frame in the box.

seventh step. Cut a sheet of steel so that the door leaf overlaps the opening intended for it from the installation of the lock by 1.5 cm, and with the remaining three sides of 1 cm. Get rid of the scale, the rest on the edges of the material after cutting.

eighth step. Place the cut sheet so that the lower and upper edge of the box were 10 mm.From the installation of canopies leaf should protrude by 15 mm, and from the tie-lock - 0.5 cm

ninth step.. Turn the box to the bottom sheet is packed.

frame will be placed inside the box.Between the door frame and the frame should be left to the following gaps:

• by mounting canopies - 0.7 cm;
• by the installation of the door lock - 0.8 cm;
• from the door threshold (below) - 1 cm;
• top -. 1 cm

clearances can be secured with a suitable tool, for example, metal strips.

tenth step. Cook frame with a sheet.Seams do short enough -. 4 cm between the beginning of welds expose a 20-centimeter distance.Boil start from the product center to the edges.Periodically necessarily give the product a little time to cool down.

hinges

first step. Lift the product above the table (or another base to be used).For this sheet under the door frame trim profile or tube.

second step. Make a loop of metal rod with a diameter of 2 cm. You can buy ready-made loops.Weld the hinges to the web and to the door frame.The upper part of the element is welded to the sheet, and the bottom is fixed to the box.

third step. After the fastening loops, get rid of the tack, previously used for attaching the sheet to the door frame.

fourth step. Strip welds.

At the end you will embed lock, paint product and fulfill his finishing at its discretion.Painting is mandatory, regardless of the chosen method of finishing, asPaint will provide additional protection against metal corrosion.

as finishing, you can use a variety of materials, such as: wooden planks, suitable soft upholstery, the film with different textures and patterns, wrought iron elements, etc.At this point you are guided by their own preferences.

In accordance with the guidance given are made almost all kinds of metal doors.Exceptions can be attributed perhaps that the doors for special purposes, such as fire, explosion proof, etc.

Successful work!
