Right then you lot
I'm really sorry
I left you half way through that one
Left you on a little edge dint I?
Right, I'm gonna continue now
Step 3 - mark the locations of the hinges
Place the door on its edge with the hinge edge facing upward
Hold the hinges on the door's edge to trace around them to mark the locations of the recesses
Before marking the locations, determine the direction that the door will open
The recesses will be narrower than the door's width, but how much narrower depends on the width of the hinges The door should open into the room, and you must be able to reach the light switch when entering, that is, the door knob side should be the side with the light switch
Hold one hinge 7 inches (18 cm) from the top of the door and trace around it with a sharp pencil
Hold the other hinge 11 inches (28 cm) from the bottom of the door and trace around it
4 - cut hinge recesses (mortises) in the door
Use a hammer and chisel to make the recesses
Chisel out the wood until the hinge is flush with the door's edge
Be careful. If you chisel out too much, it will be hard to fix
Step 5 - drill pilot holes in the door
With each hinge flap in its mortise, mark the screw positions with a pencil
Remove the hinges and use a drill bit that is slightly thinner than the screws to drill pilot holes where they are marked by the pencil
To center the pilot holes perfectly, you could use a special bit called a vix-bit, available at many hardware stores and home centers
To center the holes perfectly you could also mount each hinge with one screw and then drill the other 2 pilot holes
Part 3
Attaching the door frame
Screw the hinges onto the door
This is best done with a drill, but can also be accomplished with a screwdriver if necessary
The hinges must be perfectly flush with the door edge when screwed on, and with no angle
Step 2 - mark the hinge positions on the frame
Place objects such as screwdrivers or shims at the bottom of the doorway
Have somebody hold the door in the frame in exactly the position that you want it to hang
Draw sommen around the hinges with a sharp pencil
Step 3 - chisel hinge recesses
After carefully putting the door aside, cut mortises in the door frame in the same way that you did on the door
Take one hinge apart and hold the loose flap in each of the recesses in the frame to check that that it is the correct depth
Step 4 - mount the hinges to the door frame
While holding the door in place with the hinges in the recesses, drill pilot holes through the centers of all the holes in both hinges
Use a vix-bit if you have one
Step 5 - check that the door fits and closes correctly
If there is no gap at the top or the side of the door, use a plane or belt sander to create a gap
If the door does not completely close, the hinges may be mounted at a very slight angle
To correct this, loosen the screws that mount the door to the frame
Slip in a thin strip of cardboard to change the angle, then tighten the screws
You may have to make it thicker by using 2 or 3 thin strips
Number 6 and the last step for you lot right okay?
Mount the latch and doorknob
Follow the instructions in the package
If the frame already has a strike plate, measure how high it is from the floor and mark the corresponding position on the door
Install it!
Many doorknob kits come with a template to help you drill and chisel out the door to install the latch and doorknob
Mount the strike plate
It will be in the box with the doorknob and latch
Well done!
You made a fucking door!
