This morning we did our practical assesment on installind doors. We had to hang a normal door with furniture, and hand a double door with furniture.
HANGING SINGLE DOOR
Firstly, we pushed our doors hard up into the top of the frame with a 2-3mm gap at the top, and worked out if we had to plain the edges of the door for it to fit the frame. After we planed the doors down to the desirable size, we again pushed them hard into the top with 2-3mm gap, and marked our hinges on the door. Measuring our set back for our hinge off our frame, we checked our hinge leaf rebates and fitted our hinge leaves. we then fit the door to the frame and checked it for wind and even spacings around the door. once we had achieved this we then fit our door furniture (handle and lock) and checked for firm closing, acounting for painting to fill the gap.
HANGING DOUBLE DOORS
this process was the same as with one door except for the fact that the two doors need to be flush at the top with each other and having to watch out for wind a lot more than with one door. these doors were fitted with handles and roller catches before finishing.
