door with key

imagine the most simple wooden door, which often stands at the entrance to the shed or hut.This is the door with keys.Build it can almost anyone if you follow the instructions.Wooden doors of the array do not have a high aesthetic characteristics, but can rely on to protect the room from penetrating, and if they are still warm - that from the cold.However, the main purpose of the door with the key - fence for barns, stables and barns.

design can be made without gaps for better heat retention, or with small openings in order to monitor the animals, if it is in a stable.

basic material - and an array of boards, two keys and a diagonal brace, which is needed to ensure that the door is not skewed.

The most basic option - to pin brace and the key to the door leaf.For those who are not looking for easy ways proposed to embed the key in the door boards.To do this, the key for the corresponding dimensions.

In the past these doors made with a hand-saw nagradki, putting cloth boards in a row and carefully aligning them.Then, maintain, did the layout and fixed bar, podpilenny 45 degrees.On this bar saw through the grooves in half or a quarter of the board.After that, using a chisel and removed all unnecessary leveled bottom of the groove, which drove the key to the entire web width.The thicker the key, the more secure the door.The keys are best to plant on pins or glue.This will save, if the wood will crack.

struts should be washed down with one hand at an angle to the spline without gaps, then fasten and to plan for the corner has washed down the second side.When all made gashes, vnakladku attached to the web.

Today, this process is much easier and faster, thanks to modern technology.Propylene easily made a circular saw, which can be very clearly put the desired degree.

doors with no gaps are perfect for the construction of the Russian bath.In addition, it is several times cheaper than buying a door in a shop or ordering from a locksmith.

Paneled doors

Wooden doors paneled type are among the most common.Make them yourself, you can, but it will require skills in dealing with woodworking tools.If you are not sure of their abilities, it is better to buy or order such construction.

To begin to understand what the panel.Panels is a smooth shield inserted into the harness.It can be made from a single fabric or multiple boards.The piping is cut a groove into which is inserted into the profile, located at the ends of the door leaf.

Materials

to manufacture panel doors must be selected for the vertical timber door frame and parts of the web.Since the details themselves long, then the quality should be chosen for their strong wood.

Panels and short parts can be made from cheap wood.

required blanks:

• 65h32 mm rail section;
• slats 45 mm wide.

To make rail 65h32 mm Saw straight workpiece 65mm width of the beam thickness of 32 mm.

Processing

When sawn blanks, you can start processing the material.

Progress:

• planed blanks on all sides to achieve a flat and smooth surface;
• distribute billet bars for subsequent gluing;
• prepare sticks to the door frame.They should be a section 62h80 mm bars for tying - 62h140 mm;
• glue together distributed blank bars using water-resistant adhesive for wood.Apply the adhesive roller by rolling a thin layer on both surfaces glued.Preparations in the form bar, compress carpentry clamps until the adhesive has dried (about 40-50 minutes);
• when the adhesive is high, planed bars on the required sizes and make trimming the length, checking every detail;
• proceed to milling.To do so, mark all items, guided drawing boxes and paintings.For the construction of paneled doors have to make connections in the spike.Cut out holes (eyes), to insert the spike of the neighboring cell.Cut vertical elements of the box;
• fabricate a spike at the edges of the transverse parts of the door frame;
• if on the outside of the vertical components only does spike, then on the inside must be done not only spike, but also eye.The length of the spike is 40 mm.On horizontal strapping details spike milled with the "darkness" of 25 mm.

Manufacturing panels

Thickness glued blanks for panels in this case is 45 mm.Planed preform, reducing the thickness to 40 mm.The length and width of the panels must coincide with openings already mounted on the door leaf with the addition of 10 mm.For example, if the lumen of 100x100 mm, the panel is 110x110 mm.

cutter into the workpiece make grooves for installation in the leaf.Profiling the visible surface of the element for improving the aesthetic appearance.Finally polish the panels machine or sandpaper, paying special attention to a cross-section.

Assembling door

When you are finished with the milling works, you can begin the long-awaited assembly of the door leaf.

Progress:

• assemble the door frame, after processing all the thorns and glue fixing the structure by means of clamps;
• first assemble the lower part of the leaf, then - the upper, and then connect them to each other and set the external vertical strapping elements;
• squeeze door clamps, track defects, if any, and eliminate them;
• perform preliminary grinding and milling of the slots for the installation of panels on the outside of the door leaf.Panels to be installed outside of the "pontoon" method for interior - applying them to the harness and the fixing screws.The screws can be masked by decorative elements, creating an original design wooden entrance doors (photo);
• void between the inner and outer panels subsequently to fill insulation (foam sheet, mineral wool, etc.).

Door blocks

When you buy a door in the lounge or order in the workshop, in addition to the door you bring the door frame or door unit.For exterior door frames are made of thick timber (75-150 mm).Second input wooden doors are normally supplied with a block made of thinner bars (50 mm).

Any door should have a lower bar that will serve as a threshold, thereby increasing the thermal insulation of the room.Internal doors are deprived of such a nut as unnecessary.Moreover, it will be on constantly stumbling passing from one room to another.Therefore, it is quite irrational to put the interior doors instead of the input and vice versa.

Choose door frame on the inner surface of a quarter to the door leaf adjacent the most dense.So you protect your home against frost and ensure good sound insulation.The gap that remains below the web, you need to compensate for a possible sagging and minimum ventilation.If desired, you can simply cover up the beautiful rug.

How to fix door frames

If you install a door unit in a wooden room, which is not subject to the sediment, then lock the frame to the wall racks in quarters with nails or screws.If you place them in the quarters, they will be almost invisible and will not affect the appearance of the door trim.The heads can be imbedded, putty or close the special decorative caps.

Installation recommendations blocks:

• attach door frames only by the level of fixing wedges and horizontally and vertically;
• the vertical joists is necessary to put at least three nails for greater stability;
• to produce sags log cabins on the lower mount the crown and attachment that will be set up in view of the fact that they must be removed.When the frame is completely settled, then we can change the temporary attachment to permanent;
• if you install the unit in a stone house, use the embedded bars, rebar anchor bolts or pins.

How to adjust the door

Very often immediately after installation or after a certain time the doors begin to close tightly, squeaking or closed too tightly.In this case, it is necessary to know how to handle them.

doors Adjustment involves grease fittings, hinges, tightening or replacing fasteners for longer, installation wedges into the empty holes on the screws, etc.Repair input wooden doors should be carried out as a prophylactic, rather than waiting for the visible discomfort.This should be done at least once a year (best in spring).

For lubrication, use thick and solid formulations.This may be a graphite rod, grease, or grease.

Remove or lift hinged door, put the grease in the hole and put the door back into place.Do not feel sorry for lubrication, but too many do not need to put.If you overdo it, the grease will come out of the loop on the pressure.Then it should be removed immediately to avoid soiling the door or clothing.

If the door is greatly subsided and began to scratch the floor, put the washers on the axle between the cards of the door hinge or move the loop a little higher.

order when opening the door handle is not fought on the wall, fasten on the floor buffer, placing it as far as possible from the hinges so he does not become loose.
