Installation of a steel door: is it possible to carry it out on your own
Installation of the door frame
After the doorway is ready, we proceed to the installation of the door frame, strictly in level. For a temporary fixation of our door box, we use wooden wedges. After the door box is exhibited strictly vertically and absolutely horizontally proceed to hard fixation.
The most often used anchor bolts – it is fast, easy and simply. All self -respecting manufacturers of steel doors make holes through which the box is fixed. Just through these holes and you need to fix the entire structure, constantly monitoring the level of the door of the door box.
Hanging the door leaf
The door frame is tired now it remains to hang the door leaf. To do this, we need an assistant since the steel doors are quite heavy. Then we check the quality of the opening and closing the door itself again. After that, we close the installation gap using polyurethane foam and platbands.
As you can see, the installation of steel doors is quite possible and there is no need to hire expensive installers, the main thing is to have a good tool and an sensible assistant.
