How to hang a door on the hinges?

Any repair or replacement of the door leads to the fact that we need to dismantle it, and then hang up a new design. You can hang the door yourself or invite specialists for this work. True, this will turn into unnecessary expenditure. So, if you are a jack of all trades, it's better, easier and cheaper to do it yourself.

Choose loops

To properly choose the number and types of loops, you need to take into account the dimensions of the fabric, as well as the location of these very loops. If the structure is bicuspid, then both leaflets are mounted on hinges on both sides. To hang a door with one door, the correct calculations are required.

1. Depending on the location of the door, you need to choose either right-hand or left-hand hinges.
2. The size of the loops depends on the weight of the structure itself. For a double-leaf door, two loops per one leaf are sufficient, and a single-leaf, as more heavy, requires more loops. Most often, a single-leaf door is fastened on three hinges.
3. Be sure to check the loops in the open state, since many products have a curved rod.
4. The color solution of the fittings must match the color of the door itself.

Proper installation

How to hang the door on the hinges so that the whole structure is safe and safe to use? To do this, you need to prepare tools in the form of a plumb, level, drill with a speed regulator, a screwdriver, a chisel, a hammer and a tape measure. The installation of the hinges is carried out as follows:

1. The distance from the top and bottom edge of the door leaf should be at least 20 cm.
2. If there is a third loop, it should be located in the middle between the first and second.
3. If the loops are four, then the height of the door is divided into 5 segments, on which the fittings are fastened.
4. The upper parts of the hinges are attached to the door leaf, and the lower parts (with the rods) are attached to the box.
5. Apply the loop to the end of the blade at a pre-set distance.
6. We fix the accessories to the door with screws, using a drill or a screwdriver. It is important that the diameter of the drill is thinner than the diameter of the screw, which will ensure a reliable fixation of the loops.
7. Now install the door into the box, open it and one of the canopies is complemented with the lower part of the loop so that it snug against the box. We circle this place with a pencil, in exactly the same way we repeat the operations with the rest of the loops. Now you can clean the door.

To hang the doors with your own hands as carefully as possible, you need in places that are circled, to remove the top layer of the tree. In the resulting groove and will be attached to the lower canopy hinges. It is important that they are located horizontally, then the door will open easily and smoothly.

Check the door

After the hinges are installed, and the door is hung, you need to check its performance. If suddenly a squeak is heard at the opening or closing, we grease the loops with some composition - engine oil, solidol, technical petroleum jelly. If the hinges have been embedded too deeply, do not despair: you can fix this situation using a rubber pad, cardboard or hardboard.

If the canvas eventually turned out to be too low, and therefore scratches the floor, it is necessary to lift it. For this purpose a washer is placed between the hinges of the hinge, after which the whole structure rises. As you can see, hanging the door is not so difficult as it seems, especially if you approach this process responsibly and give timely attention to each defect.

We hang doors on the wardrobe

It seems to many that installing a door, hanging loops is not a simple process. But in fact, all the work can be done independently. To perform the work you need to prepare a mounting foam, anchor bolts and screws, level, chisel, wood hacksaw and stool. How to hang a door on the closet? To do this, follow a few rules.

1. Pay attention to literate markings: the center is first marked, which is located 22 mm from the edge and 12 cm from the end.
2. Most often, two hinges are attached - one on top, the other from below. This is the easiest and most convenient way of installation, since the installation itself will be faster. True, if the structures are too large, more than two loops may be required.
3. On the measured areas drill holes are drilled, where the cups are inserted from the loop. Most of the parts just fit the size of the holes, which provides a complete installation.
4. When working, you need to use tools with a good sharpening, which will make the holes neat and quality.
5. Before hanging the door, you need to check the operation of the hinges by arranging them correctly.

Features of working with a coupe

Each kind of cabinet from the constructive point of view has its own peculiarities, which is expressed in the need for proper hanging of the loops. Most of the furniture has swing doors, but no less popular and the closet. With its equipment, the following types of loops are most commonly used:

• Inlays, having a facade and clearly visible ends of the sidewall frame;
• Overhead: in this case the facade is located on the side of the hinges and is superimposed on the ends of the side parts;
• Angular: fixed at an angle of 90-135 degrees with respect to the holding node;
• Partially overhead: can be fastened in the form of two facades on one partition.

We act by the rules!

How correctly to hang a door on a case-compartment? It's worth starting with measuring the width and height of each opening and frame, checking the level of the roof, sidewalls and shield that will serve as a floor. Measure and the thickness of the cabinet walls, as over time, they can form distortions. Compensation of distortions is possible due to overlapping loops, which are easy to adjust. It is important to ensure that during installation, all structural elements are located at the same depth. The loops are set in the following order.

1. Hinges are applied to the place where they will be fastened, holes are marked and drilled to a depth of 20-30 mm.
2. The holes are made both on the sides of the sidewall, and on the door itself.
3. The halves of the hinges are fixed by means of furniture screws.
4. A door is hung.

Complexities of work

Many people are interested in the question of how to hang the door of the compartment if there are internal boxes next to them. In this case, the shelves, boxes that are located from the inside, should be somewhat shorter in depth than the outer elements. During installation, attention should be paid to the fact that dead zones can form at the intersection of the frames. If they draw drawers in them , in this case it will be impossible to open them, and they will lose their functionality. In general, experts do not advise you to install the door yourself, because each sliding system has its own features, rigid binding of the door to the frame, and so you can just spoil the furniture.

Follow the steps

Whatever door you do not hang - in the doorway or cabinet, you need to do this in accordance with a number of stages. Only so the hinges will be cut accurately and precisely, and the door will serve stably and correctly. So, if you put a new design, you'll have to start by assembling the box first. For this, the lateral and upper struts are cut out, which are connected with self-tapping screws.

When assembling the box, leave a gap of at least 5 mm - thanks to it, the doors will not be subjected to friction and cycling after installation. After the box is ready, you can already mount the hinges. But even here there are some nuances. For example, it is important to understand how much weight the door has - it depends on the number of loops that will be required during its installation. The box can be mounted in two ways. The first involves the use of foam, if the door is lightweight, and the second - anchors, which is appropriate for structures of large dimensions. All holes can be carefully covered with decorative caps.

With most of the work you can manage on your own, but since hanging the door of the wardrobe is not so simple, it is better to entrust these works to professional masters.
