Installation of a metal-plastic door
Today, in almost all stores and shopping centers, as well as in private homes, people install metal-plastic doors. These doors replaced old wooden or metal doors. Metal-plastic doors have a neat appearance, sufficient strength and excellent energy efficiency (if you order a double-glazed window with i-glass). And the installation of a metal-plastic door can be done independently.
If you decide to transform the appearance of your premises and install a metal-plastic door on your own, you must act strictly according to plan. If the door is located indoors, it must be dismantled. Clear all construction debris so that the base of the walls and floors are free of excess debris. After this, measure the doorway. If the door is an entrance, only knock down the plaster in the corners to the base of the walls and floor. Then measure the doorway at the prepared points.
In order for the installation of a metal-plastic door to go smoothly, it is necessary to complete the correct door order. You need to subtract 1 cm from the measurements taken on each side and order the door only according to these dimensions.This is provided that the doorway is level. If one side is larger than the other, then the order must be made according to the sizes of the smaller sides.
After placing an order, the door is manufactured in about a week. When it is ready and delivered to the desired room, the installation of the metal-plastic door begins. First of all, the door must be removed from its hinges so that only one frame remains. Then insert this frame into the doorway and set it strictly level. If necessary, secure it with wedges. After this, fill with foam the entire space between the base of the doorway and the frame. Leave the door frame in this state until the foam has completely dried. This usually takes about 12 hours. After this time, use a utility knife to cut off the remaining dried foam that protrudes outward. After this, you can hang the door in place. Be sure to adjust it so that the door does not rub against the frame anywhere, the lock and latch turn easily, and the tongue on the handle sits in its place. If necessary, all mechanisms can be lubricated with a special WD-40.
At the final stage of installation, it is necessary to plaster the mounting foam. The best way to do this is to use ceramic tile adhesive. When dry it sticks well to the wall. You can also use regular plaster (cement with sand). Then you need to remove the protective film from the door frame and the door itself. Wipe them from dust and other contaminants. And at this stage, the installation of the metal-plastic door is considered complete.
