Step by step instructions on the sidebar of the castle in the interior doors with photos and video

All interior doors available on the market, are not equipped with locks.In fact - this is nothing more beautiful than a "latch", since no "security" function, it does not perform.All arrangements for such doors are opened easily by any sharp flat object (screwdriver, nail file, etc.), so - to embed the castle or not - the owner decides.Now, many companies offer services not only to the installation of doors, and the installation of locks.

expediency of seeking professional help is highly questionable, since the special difficulties, such work is not, as its value exceeds the price of the product itself, sometimes quite significantly.Let us ask ourselves a simple question - is it worth spending money on something that you can do yourself?A good host can easily cope with this task, having at hand only an ordinary set of "home" tool.

We proceed from the fact that the lock is already selected on the basis of the parameters of a particular door.

What is needed

• E / drill.
• Set of drills for wood (including crown and "pen").And the diameter of which will become clear from the description of the operation techniques.
• Carpenter knife, chisel, tools for marking (a ruler, a pencil).

It turns out that none of the "special equipment" category at this work and do not need.

Procedure tie castle

Layout

To make it easier to work, the door leaf is desirable to be positioned horizontally.The base must be sufficiently solid, excluding its displacement and vibration.Generally, interior doors are made with a decorative coating that is easily scratched, so it is necessary to enclose something.

Castle is set on the end of the bar and, of course, in the middle.This point need to find and mark, focusing on the existing risk.It is for the convenience of the work deepened further (for example, the edge of the sewing), since it is here that one of the elements of the castle will be installed fixation (screw).

Next, it should be noted (as the center of the end of the bar), place the latch arrangement.

Any lock is equipped with two handles, which are held together with his "body."It is necessary to measure the distance from the strip to the hole, where they are located, and then move it to the door leaf.In other words, it is necessary to identify the point of drilling under the door handle (on both sides).

It depends on the accuracy of marking how the lock is positioned correctly, it will work.

wood sample

first drilled holes for the handles of the lock.Typically, drill down even the largest size, it has a slightly smaller diameter.Here and useful crown.

Council

buying a lock, you need to immediately handle the size of the rims, and purchase the appropriate bit.

Drilling must be done carefully, electric (you can use and powerful screwdriver) must operate at reduced speeds.Master recommended first pass opening by about half, and then start from the opposite side, until a through hole.

Next crown changed to drill down, and just as accurately drilled holes for the latch.

Assembly

castle first set the latch and closing its strip.Trace the outline of her at the end of the bar, after which the entire mechanism is removed again.To free the door closed, the bar must be in pritoplena canvas (installed "flush").The sample material is easy to make a narrow chisel and a knife.When the landing nest is ready, a mechanism is established and secured by means of screws (previously outlined points by drilling shallow holes).

remains to put the handle and lock.

Install jamb bracket with

on the door frame, it is mounted in the last turn.Pre-need to "hang" the door to check how close that there are no gaps.If necessary - to align.

Then you need to close it and push the "tongue" latch until it stops.As a rule, the gap between the door and door frame will always be, therefore outline its height location is not difficult.

After that, the door opened, and on labels, in the center, determined drilling point.This is the place where will be "tongue" is recessed when the door is closed.Drill hole, and then the door closed again and check whether the same latch mechanism when fully activated with the prepared hole.If not, then it is determined in which direction it should be slightly extended.This adjustment does not spoil the doorframe, as this place will also be closed "their" bar.

She has put on the method described above (a sample of the material and fixing screws).

should be understood that the locks for interior doors are structurally slightly different.Therefore, when you install a particular product need to examine the manufacturer's recommendations, which are always included.But usually insignificant differences.By the way, you may be interested in information about a connecting sliding door - very important for small apartments.

Important

Some models of locks on one of the handles have a lock position.When installing such a product must be provided to the stopper located inside the door.
