If you do doors to order, their installation will be included in cost. But getting doors in specialized shop, it is possible to save, having established them independently if all you have tools necessary for this purpose.

For independent installation of door to you it will be necessary: - hammer;

- polyurethane foam; - screw-driver with set of changeable heads;

- sharply ground axe; - saws for sawing up; - drills for drilling of openings of round shape; - convenient planes for adjustment of door under the sizes of door opening;

- surface gage; - plumb; - Mulka for construction and check of corners; - level or leveling instrument. The groove and mouldings can be also required by you if it is necessary to make figured elements on parts, rabbet planes and folding.

No matter, whether you establish door in interroom partition or entrance – works should be begun with exact measurements of wall aperture. Consider that the minimum clearance between wall and cloth of door has to make 10-15 mm. If you in the course of repair dismantled old door, it is necessary to smooth out carefully door opening from residues of polyurethane foam and construction waste. In advance drill openings in brick or concrete wall in door opening and hammer wooden chopik or traffic jams, in them pins will fasten or to be driven nails.

Installation of doors during major repair is made after the floor covering that the floor height was already known is laid.

If you have got knock-down door, collect it on the place, using self-tapping screws and nails. When the door case is bought in assembled form, it needs only to be established in the place.

Popular way is fixation of doors on through fastenings.

One more way – installation of door with tape and wedges. Dredging for the lock and loops needs to be prepared in advance. Build blocks by means of wooden wedges and hang up shutters on temporary fixers. Fasten self-tapping screws assembly tape to edge parts from two parties, and fill the remained emptiness with polyurethane foam. But such installation, though allows to reduce time, is not really practical – shutters can warp.
