Tips on How to hang a door!

To complete the look of your decorated room, hang a new door to compliment your new interior. Start by removing your old door, remove the screws from the bottom hinge and then the top, ensuring that the door is properly supported throughout removal.

You will need :

- New door
- Screwdriver
- Pencil
- Safety goggles
- Dust mask
- Panel saw or hand plane
- Screws
- Hinges
- Mallet
- Chisel
- Wooden wedges

Use the screwdriver to remove any paint that has dried over the hinges and screws. Next cut your new door to size, hold the door up to the frame and mark on the door where the wood needs to be trimmed with the pencil.

If your old door was a perfect fit, use this as a guide, lay the old door on top of the new door and mark where to cut. Make sure you take an equal amount from the top and bottom of the door so that finished product will be correctly balanced.

Now put on your goggles and dust mask – remember safety first. Use a panel saw if you are cutting more than 6mm off, for trimmings less than a the 6mm, use a hand plane. Trim carefully in accordance to your markings, allowing an extra 2mm either side and at the top of the door to ensure that the door can open and close smoothly once fixed into the frame.

If you have a particularly thick carpet, leave up to 10mm at the bottom of the door. The hinges must now be put into place, check the new hinges against the section where the old hinges were in place on the door frame. If they are not the same size, use a mallet and chisel to cut out a hole for the new hinges. Once you are satisfied, fix the hinges into the door frame with a single screw and open the hinge.

Prop the door against the frame with the aid of two to three wooden wedges and mark where the hinges fall onto the door. Lay the door flat and remove the hinge from the door frame, placing the hinge onto the door. Mark around the entire hinge and use a mallet and chisel to carve out the section of wood so the hinge slots in and lies flat. Fix one screw into the door, which will hold the hinge in place temporarily.

Again prop the door up to the frame using the wooden wedges, fix the hinge flaps to the door frame using one screw so you can make any adjustments if necessary. Check that the door opens and closes correctly, then fix the rest of the screws into the door and door frame
