Often the door to the apartment does not close because:

• hinges installed incorrectly;
• there was a distortion of the door;
• the lock is damaged by third parties;
• the installation of the door was carried out with violations;
• the seal is worn out;
• dirt, debris got into the locking mechanism.

These are just some of the reasons why the door to the apartment does not close. They are quite serious, so you should not ignore them. As a rule, if such difficulties arise with closing the canvas, you can’t do without the help of a specialist. In this case, Zamki-SAO employees will immediately come to the rescue.

What most often contributes to the fact that the door closes from the inside, but not from the outside? Some aspects are listed below:

1. Key breakage
2. Cylinder lock failure
3. Wear of the working parts of the blade
4. Key stuck directly in the keyhole
5. Damage to the lock due to its heavy contamination
6. Door sagging and other serious damage, causes.

They accurately, inexpensively in the shortest possible time will carry out work to restore the door leaf. If the door to the apartment does not close, call us immediately!

After installation of interior doors, incorrect operation of the structure may be detected. The fault may lie both with the installer, and with the manufacturer or the owner himself. How to adjust interior doors if they do not close well? You can go two ways: call the guilty team of workers or take over the reinstallation.

Interior doors

Broken door leaf

In the case when the reason for the poor closing of the interior door is the wrong dimensions of its leaf, the manufacturer is responsible for this. The customer has the right to contact this organization and demand compensation for damage or replace interior doors with new ones. In this case, you will have to carry out the installation process again. To avoid such a long, laborious and costly process, you can try to dismantle or adjust it yourself.

If the product is defective, interior doors may not close due to:

• distortion of the door leaf;
• incorrect dimensions (length, height) of the material;
• broken loops.

Installation of door hinges

The easiest way to deal with the problem of loops. To solve it, it is necessary to remove the door from the lower part of the mounting device, leaving only the upper one - the one that is attached to the canvas. If the matter is rust, dirt or construction debris getting into the capsule, it is enough to thoroughly clean the fasteners. When the hinges constantly creak, move poorly when trying to close - it's a matter of poor lubrication.

This option is solved without removing the interior door, by simply pouring oil on the motor elements of the structure. When the hinges are loosely set one on top of the other, the web is lifted up and then correctly put on the bottom of the fastener until the two halves are completely closed.

Dimensional mismatch is the most difficult to process. When it is not enough grinding wheel, skins. It will take either a serious change in the edges of the structure, or a rearrangement of the platbands. If the doorway allows, they need to be widened until a suitable gap is obtained.

In case of slight violations of the geometry of interior doors, it is enough to use a planer and remove excess material from the door leaf. If the model was expensive and the removal of the top layer cannot then be hidden by applying your own paint and sanding, then for aesthetic purposes it is better to replace the door with a new one. Processing with a planer and similar tools is subject only to an unpainted door, in extreme cases treated with a transparent wooden varnish.

Problems installing components

Often, warped platbands, too high a threshold or overall seals interfere with the correct closing of interior doors. After checking the presence of each of the problems, the master or owner must proceed to an adequate solution to the violation.

Door handle repair

The first case is the presence of a too high threshold. An aluminum or rubber lining near the bottom of the interior door can be located above the level of the lower border of the door and prevent it from passing into the doorway. The threshold is dismantled and, due to the cheapness of such a finish, it is simply replaced with a new, smaller one. This issue is easy to fix.

The second likely cause of the malfunction is the skew of the platbands or the doorway itself. If one of the fasteners, for example, a nail, has come off, use a hammer to drive it back into the wall and casing. If the platbands are too large, they are completely dismantled to correct the situation. In fact, you will have to do a reinstallation of the product.

Seals must be located clearly according to the plan. If a deviation from it is noticed and at the same time there is a problematic closure of the interior structure, the position of the seals must be adjusted.

Problems during the installation of locking structures

Locks, hecks and other products designed to install personal space can greatly interfere with the operation of the door if the fastening algorithm is incorrect. Due to the inattentive work of the master, part of the metal door latch may block the doorway. The tongue of the handle, which is responsible for holding the door in a fixed position, can be turned upside down and stuck into the door leaf, while the special hole will be higher or lower. After diagnosing the problem and its clear definition of what to do, it is necessary to reinstall the defective design. Installation can take from 30 minutes to a couple of hours.

Door structures

Inverted handles are cut out of the product with a screwdriver to adjust them. By unscrewing the retaining side screws, the locking device can be pry off with the sharp part of the screwdriver. You will need to separately pull out the handle and the plane around it - through the front panel - and separately dismantle the side of the mechanism, that is, the body and the tongue recessed into it. In the case where the locks then close correctly, the installation was successful.

If the mechanical product is working and did not allow the interior partition to work correctly only because of the defects that the installation brought, it is remounted correctly. If the matter is in the marriage of the device itself, a new one is bought. For owners, budget options are available from several hundred rubles, which they would not.

Solving problems that arose through the fault of the owner

Why aren't the doors closed yet? Sometimes the owner of the apartment and the interior doors installed in it can create a problem situation himself. Due to inattention or negligence, he may allow the following.

Swelling of the material. Products made of natural wood are strongly deformed and poorly closed under the influence of high humidity. If the owner inadvertently did a wet cleaning of the untreated door, constantly opened the windows in the rain, turned on the air humidifier, directing it to the doorway, then the swelling was his fault. Over time, the material gets used to the environment, and moisture no longer affects it. Therefore, the problem may occur only in the first weeks after installation. It is worth talking about marriage when, after a month, the interior doors have not become smaller.

Installation of interior doors

Installation of unsuitable flooring. Floor carpets or linoleum can lie badly, wrinkle and simply fall into the doorway, blocking it and the movement of the product from above.

The most common mistake is to install wires on top or bottom of the door. Wiring (eg cable for internet connection) must be installed in such a way that it does not interfere. It is necessary to monitor whether the interior doors close correctly after correction.

Usually, wiring is carried out either along the baseboard in special recesses, or even through the wall if it is urgently necessary. You can re-lay the cable by simply moving the mount to another place where the wires have become invisible, and nailing it again. To understand the correct location, you can use the photo.

To compensate for water swelling, only time and limiting humidity in the first period of use of the product will do. And so that the flooring does not jam and does not fall into the gap, it should either be moved (carpet), or straightened and nailed in places with a steel or aluminum threshold and skirting boards (linoleum). Installation will take a few minutes.

After all the fixes, the owner will notice that now everything is working correctly and the interior doors close well.

Annoying door sagging problem

The annoying problem of sagging doors, especially wooden ones, can happen for a number of reasons.

The root causes may be different, but each of them leads to the fact that the door may not close at all over time, scratch the floor and completely cease to serve. It is permissible to correct the situation with your own hands.

Replacing or adjusting doors if interior doors have sagged

Replacement and adjustment of doors
Repair of doors is required over time for any overlap of the opening of neighboring premises.
The door structure is not only a decorative element of the interior design of the home, but also the main functional detail, without which you simply cannot do without a comfortable stay at home. After all, the door is so necessary in buildings of any type of purpose of use:
Protects the room from drafts;
Separates adjacent rooms with respect to functional purpose;
Creates a cozy atmosphere, and play a decorative role in the stylistic design.

Not only a used door can fail, but also a completely new product due to improper installation, shrinkage of the building as a whole, and so on.
In many cases, households begin to think about replacing the door as soon as possible, which has ceased to be visually attractive and has lost a number of functionality. If the question arises as to whether it is necessary to replace the block with something new, or start repairing doors, then know that even an inanimate interior detail requires attention and care.
The product may cease to please for a number of reasons that can be corrected with your own hands:
The door leaf made of natural solid wood is cracked.

Such a visual misunderstanding is corrected by restoration work or decoration, the list of which is simply unthinkable for choice. The whole process, both restoration and decorative finishing of the leaf of the door structure, is reproduced by one's own hands in everyday life with little financial cost.
If the restoration implies a thorough list of works, then it is permissible to reproduce the sash decoration with your own hands without even removing it from the hinges: decoupage, painting, and so on.
The structure of the roof was shattered.

You can also strengthen the door frame with your own hands at home. Why is it just worth disassembling the block using a simple tool that every home master has or borrowing from a neighbor for a short period of time. In this case, it may only be necessary to strengthen the door frame at the installation site, tighten the hinges, or pull the canvas itself, that is, strengthen the loosened or dried-out panels of the wooden structure.
Nasty, cutting hearing and nerves, creaking.

Lubricate the door

The creak of an opening or closing sash is often caused by the friction process of the pins, which are elements of the door hinges. The reason for the squeak may also relate to poor fastening of the loops themselves to the loop bar or the end of the canvas.
To eliminate a sharp sound, it is recommended to look at the fastening of the hinges and lubricate them with machine oil, or use graphite, pieces of which are inserted into the hinge gaps.
Doors don't close well.

The door made of wood does not open or does not close, then its problem is hidden in the conditions of internal operation. Over time, any product made from natural solid wood can swell, that is, significantly increase in size around the perimeter. The door does not close yet due to a violation of its geometry: the door swelled, it led, the door sagged, the hinges loosened, the box led, and so on.
There can be a lot of reasons that the sash does not coincide in geometry with the box. If the door has sagged thoroughly, then it is recommended to take the issue seriously, which we will talk about below.
Possible causes of malfunction

If the design sank slightly or fairly, then this is indicated by the following visual circumstances of the functional activity of the unit:

• The first slight abrasions of the door sill, due to the fact that the doors do not close well;
• Damage to the flooring when the door does not close at all, that is, it does not fit snugly around the perimeter of the box;
• There were clear gaps around the perimeter.

When confirming at least one of the above violations in the quality service of the floor block, there is only one conclusion - the door has sat down with a violation of the fit geometry. Before any adjustment of the doors is made, it is worth examining the unit for a malfunction, and only then get to work.
The main reasons why an interior door made of natural solid wood or other material for internal use does not open include such misunderstandings:

• Hinges moved away from the installation site;
• Deformation of the door frame;
• Violation of the geometry of the sash itself;
• Swelling canvas made of natural solid wood.

When do you need to replace locks and how to do it

It is permissible to correct many shortcomings with your own hands, and for work it will be required in all of the following cases:

• PVA glue or other adhesive for working with wood;
• Screwdriver or screwdriver;
• self-tapping screws;
• Planer, chisel;
• Hammer.

You may also need another simple home tool, which, if you do not have it in the pantry, it is permissible to ask for a loan from a neighbor.
Inspection and repair of hinges

First of all, if the door has sagged, it is recommended to inspect the hinged canopies, since the reason is most often hidden in them. To adjust and return the functionality of the sash, door repair is not required, you just need to remove the canvas from the hinges, inspect them and correct them. The answer to the question of how to remove the door from the hinges is simple:

• Open the sash;
• Substitute a crowbar or other convenient object under it;
• Using a crowbar (or with your hands), lift the canvas from the bottom up.

Thus, the sash will be freed from the hinges, but now it must be safely held so as not to be damaged. For these purposes, if such works are reproduced for the first time, invite a household member to help, who will at least support the canvas so that it does not collapse.
Usually, the hinges are fastened to the hinge beam (door frame rack) using wood screws. If the door sags strongly, then:
Under the unscrewed self-tapping screws, it is recommended to drive wood wedges into the holes, then mount the hinges on the self-tapping screws in place.

Pre-dip the wedges in PVA glue (or carpentry). To fix the hinges, use longer fasteners, and hang the door itself 24 hours after the adhesive has dried.
If the situation has not been corrected with the sagging of the ceiling after strengthening the hinges with wedges and new self-tapping screws, then it is recommended to change the previous place of installation of the hinges.

In this case, you can use the old hinges, but place them on the hinge bar in other places, as well as on the end of the sash itself.
Inserting hinges in new mounting locations is carried out in the same way. The main thing is to correctly calculate the vertical axis of the location of the hinged canopies, and the distance between each other. Grooves in wood are made with a chisel and hammer impact. A chisel is best used with a straight blade.
If the door sagged in a short period after installation, then the problem lies in the large weight of the sash itself, which the hinges cannot withstand.

You can correct the situation just by adding additional loops. You can insert a third loop, placing it at a distance of about 10-20 cm under the upper canopy. Or install an additional loop, shifting the top one a little higher.
If the door has sat down after a long service life, then this may indicate wear on the hinges.

With a long period of service, the core wears out in the loops, which can be simply replaced. But this may not increase the functionality of old hinges, as they also wear out over time. Better to buy new hinges.
With a slight sagging of the door leaf, the hinges can not be replaced, but slightly corrected.

In this case, the doors are adjusted using a steel ring, which must be laid under the metal core of the element. A bearing ball of the right size relative to the diameter can also help.
If this is not enough to correct the situation, then a backing can be made under the hinges, which will lift them a little from the hinge beam.
Do not forget that after manipulations with hinged canopies, it is recommended to lubricate them with engine oil for prevention.

We reveal the deformation of the door frame

After you have managed to adjust the hinged door, it may happen that it does not open or does not close well. So the hinges here were not entirely to blame.
The problem, most likely, is the lack of the necessary functional gap between the structure box and the sash.
To identify such a problem, you need a building level, which checks the vertical and horizontal of the structure. The door in the course of closing can cling to the box in any part. If a clear violation in the installation or a slight deformation of the box is determined, which is possible after a long period of operation of the unit, then the problem is solved by lightly trimming the fabric of the structure exactly at the site of the problem.
It is worth noting that before taking on the hewing of the door leaf, you need to thoroughly make sure that it was the box that did not succumb to severe deformation. Otherwise, efforts will be reproduced in vain, and the canvas will be damaged.
The fundamental deformation of the box is the most difficult problem associated with the door structure of the ceiling. Adjusting the doors in this case will not help if you do not completely redo the box. After all, how to adjust the door if the base of the floor succumbed to movement. If we ignore the deformation of the box, then in addition to the displacement of the canvas diagonally, over time, the racks will come out of the plane of the opening.

The skew of the frame is corrected by the following manipulations:

• The ceiling canvas itself is removed from the hinged canopies;
• Measurements are taken of the vertical and horizontal mounting of racks;
• The diagonal of the opening is checked;
• The place of displacement is found;
• All decorative elements are removed from the ceiling: extensions, platbands;
• Fixing bolts are screwed into the frame structure, which will correct the situation;
• Building materials are removed from the gaps: plaster, polyurethane foam;
• In the necessary places, spacers for the frame are installed, which in the future will hold it in the correct position;
• Finally, the gaps are re-foamed and plastered;
• Platbands and dobors are installed in place.

Violation of the geometry of the door leaf

Natural solid wood is a very valuable product, especially at home.
Materials of natural origin have always been valued. If a table made of solid wood or another piece of decorative design of the home does not require a certain degree of attention and constant care, then if the door is made of wood, it may be you who are to blame.
Doors made of wood do not close well due to their swelling or, conversely, drying out. This may happen because:

• That the norm of humidity in the room is not maintained;
• The block may not be treated with protective agents or special impregnations;
• The installation itself could take place, for example, in the winter season, when the unit did not have time to acclimatize in the internal heated room;
• The installation of a solid wood structure is not recommended in the openings of rooms with a constant temperature difference and humidity fluctuations: bathrooms, showers, and so on.

If the door has already sagged, then you should not immediately run to the construction center for a new replacement from the combined material. Do-it-yourself repair of doors made of solid wood is very simple with the help of a conventional planer or a more modern tool.
You can adjust the sash to the parameters of the box by trimming problem areas on the canvas. Before starting work, you need to do at least visual measurements:

• Close the door;
• Assess the dimension of existing gaps;
• Remove the door from the canopies;
• Plane the strapping in certain places.

Any design flaws in the overlapping of the openings of neighboring rooms can be corrected with your own hands. If the methods of adjustment do not lend themselves, then it is better to invite a specialist to the house. After all, it is cheaper to eradicate malfunctions immediately, since over time they turn into major breakdowns.

In an apartment or own house, there are many elements that perform different functions. Among them are internal doors for rooms installed between rooms. They separate rooms, protect from extraneous noise or unnecessary light. In addition, these devices perform a decorative role, complementing the interior, making it complete.

Classification of interior doors

In construction practice, there are different interior designs.

• Swing. This is a common option in typical apartment buildings. It is traditionally resorted to in the construction of cottages or suburban households. Structurally they are:

1. single leaf;
2. semi-soluble;

• Folding. A similar design option is resorted to when the surrounding space in the rooms is limited. Such devices consist of narrow elements and are folded along.
• Between adjacent rooms, the installation of sliding doors is practiced. They can be sliding if there is only one sash and sliding - if there are two sashes moving in different directions.

According to the type of material from which interior structures are made, they can be;

• plastic;
• MDF door;
• tree;
• veneered with chipboard, fiberboard or caracas with honeycomb filling.

During operation, door structures are subjected to loads and external influences. As a result, interior doors need to be repaired.

When the need for repair arises

Door structures for internal use have a list of common damage that occurs during operation:

• the handles are loosened and the locks do not close;
• sagging of the door leaf occurs;
• the material from which this device is made swells, structures made of are most susceptible to this;
• the components of the door dry out;
• the veneer covering the structure peels off or cracks;
• there is a crack in the door glass.

How to troubleshoot a door handle

You can repair handles yourself. For you will need the following tools:

• Phillips and flat screwdriver;
• wrench.

The first reason is the weakening of the self-tapping screws that secure the outer covers that cover the internal mechanisms of the lock. To fix this problem, a loose self-tapping screw is tightened. If it does not tighten, you must:

• unscrew the screws;
• remove the cover;
• insert wooden sticks into the holes from the screws;
• put on the cover and tighten the screws.

If the cause of the malfunction of the handle is in the internal mechanism, it is necessary to disassemble the external decorative trims, remove the handle with a wrench and pull out this mechanism.

Carefully inspect the lock and if it cannot be repaired, then you need to take a new one and install it in place of the faulty one.

What to do if the door won't close

Proper functioning of the door structure creates a comfortable home environment. Discomfort appears if the interior door does not close. This annoys the owners and leads to damage to the door leaf or frame.

The reasons that the interior door does not close well can be:

• incorrect installation of the door frame or its distortion during operation;
• swollen;
• The door does not close due to incorrectly installed hinges:

1. Using a level (best of all - laser, it has high accuracy) and a plumb line to determine the correct installation of the box. In case of distortion, the door leaf is removed from the hinges, the trim is removed. Then the box is aligned in . Modern builders attach it to anchors, so you need a screwdriver so as to eliminate the skew. Then close the gaps formed and install the door leaf in place.
2. If it is swollen, then you need to remove it. Most often this happens with solid wood products. In this case, you can repair the interior door with a planer. To do this, you need to make cuts with a planer on the side of the door leaf that interferes with closing. Sometimes it is required to cut the wood from the canvas on all sides. When processing wooden cuts, so as not to damage the structure at the points of gluing the components of the door. Cover the cuts with the same tint or paint that treated the entire door.
3. Repair of door hinges is needed if they are planted deeper than necessary from the front edge of the door leaf. Often, when operating this design, the hinges bend or the fixing screws loosen. When determining such a defect, in order to eliminate it, it is necessary to rearrange the loops to the right place. If the hinges are deformed, replace them. When performing this work, you will need a Phillips screwdriver for self-tapping screws.

How to eliminate sagging

Having discovered that the interior door has sagged, you need to find out why this happened. The reasons here can also be different:

• loose fastening of the hinges;
• hinges deformed due to heavy load;
• the door sagged due to the skew of the box.

Having determined that the door leaf is warped due to poor fastening of the hinges, it is necessary to fix them. To do this, you need to remove the door. Tighten the screws with a Phillips screwdriver. To make the fastening strong, you can replace the screws with longer ones.

If the screws in the nests are loose, then you need:

• remove loops;
• fill the vacated holes with wooden glazing beads, you can pre-lubricate them with glue;
• attach the loops to the previous attachment point and tightly wrap the screws;
• place.

The deformation of the loops occurs due to improper selection of fittings. The hinges are found to be weak for the actual weight of the door. In such a situation, it is necessary to change the fittings to a more durable one.

There may be such a situation that the door sagged due to improper installation of the hinge. In this case, it is required to deepen the half of the loop into a wooden surface, cutting out the necessary recess with a chisel.

You can make this recess in the door or frame, depending on the need.

When, according to the results of the inspection, it turns out that the fault of the sagging is the skew of the box, then it is necessary to dismantle it. Do-it-yourself interior door repair is also possible in this case.

If immediately after the installation of the door structure, they functioned normally, then the changes occurred due to the settlement of the house. In this case, the repair procedure will be as follows:

• remove the canvas and platbands;
• release from fasteners and pull out the door frame;
• if it is severely deformed, replace it;
• using a level and a plumb line, expose the box and secure it with anchors, three pieces on each side;
• try on the door and attach the hinges in accordance with its new position;
• hang the door leaf and check the correct closing;
• put the trims in place.

Veneer repair on interior doors

On the door structure covered with veneer, various damages can appear - from scratches to cracks and even peeling off of some surface areas.

Repairs are made, depending on the severity of the damage, using polish or glue.

1. If scratches appear on such a surface, the repair of the veneer will consist in rubbing the damaged area with a polish.
2. You can repair a crack in veneer using PVA glue or door varnish and sawdust. Putty is kneaded from them, with which the crack is rubbed. After such a procedure, it is necessary to cover the repaired place with a tinting composition to match the color of the canvas. If the crack is large, with spalling of some sections, then it is better to replace this section of the veneer with a new one.
3. If the veneer has peeled off the door, then the repair of veneered doors should be carried out with the door leaf removed.

An adhesive solution for wooden surfaces is prepared in advance.

In the place where the veneer has peeled off, the voids found are filled with glue, and the surface on which the veneer will lie is also smeared with glue.

The peeled off part is pressed against the door leaf and covered with tracing paper. On top of it, oppression is laid to pressurize the surface.

Experience shows that a person with minimal technical skills is able to repair interior wooden doors with his own hands without much difficulty.

The main thing is to notice the defect in time and not delay its elimination.

The interior door is a beautiful and functional solution. It should work well for many years. But sometimes there are problems with this. She starts to get in the way. If the interior door does not close well - who will like this? This is a source of negative emotions, like creaking hinges, a lock. It is very bad if the door does not close completely.

In the case when it was recently installed, most likely, the work was done poorly. Another such installation and the doorway will have to be restored. If the door has been standing for a long time, everything has always been fine with it, but now for some reason it does not close, whatever one may say, the time has come for unplanned expenses. If the interior door does not close, what should I do? How to adjust it?

It only seems

This is a reliable product. When problems arise during operation, there is a high probability that the interior door is just poorly debugged. The hinges can loosen over time, because the door is constantly used. As a result, it does not close. But you just need to pick up a screwdriver and comfort will immediately return to the house. Of course, there are also serious problems that one has to face at the most inopportune moment. Sometimes it’s important to think about whether an interior door is needed at all?

In order for doubts to stop bothering you, you need to take the situation into your own hands. How to adjust the door without assistance?

Professionalism is for professionals

You can use the level and accurately measure everything, or you can turn on the light in the room that the interior door encloses at night, and turn it off in the next one - look at the cracks.

Common complaints about interior doors:

• she began to close badly;
• the handle or lock began to act up.

There may be several reasons for this.

The door leaf is warped, the hinges are loose

If the canvas is skewed, there will be a gap between it and the loot on top, and the bottom edge will scratch the floor. What to do if you find such a defect, how to adjust the design?

The doors themselves, most likely, have nothing to do with it. The first step is to check the condition of the loops. Perhaps they were poorly screwed and loosened during operation. Screws need to be tightened. If they have not stopped hanging out, it's time to think about replacing the loops. The screw holes were not drilled correctly, so it began to open poorly.

The canvas warped, the hinges sank in the wood

It also happens that the loops have shifted and shifted significantly, sank in the tree, began to destroy its structure. This is very bad. Loops spoil the whole structure. In order for them to stop doing this, there is nothing left but to remove them, screw new ones in places where the board is not damaged.

You should not use the door in this state, try to close it to the end too. Such shifts of hinges can be caused by manufacturing or installation errors. But sometimes the tenants themselves, who carelessly use the door, are also to blame.

Everything is easy to fix with your own hands. All you need is a set of new hinges, a chisel and a screwdriver. They belong to building materials and are sold at all specialized points of sale.

Eliminating defects from previous fasteners in this situation is the main difficulty. Putty and a suitable color of enamel or varnish will help fix everything. Of course, the doors will not be like new after such a repair, but it will be quite possible to veil the flaws and make them invisible. The interior door will continue to fulfill its aesthetic function in the apartment.

Ludka has shifted

The door frame sometimes shifts. This happens for a number of reasons. This is the result of global processes throughout the house, and the result of the influence of the microclimate in the room, and the result of a defect during installation, and poor-quality materials. The result - the door leaf does not close, which, of course, upsets the residents. What to do in this case?

If the interior doors stop closing, and gaps are found between the canvas and the loot, it is necessary to attach it to the wall more securely. To do this, you need a drill, building foam, dowels 130-150 cm long.

• the loot must be attached to the wall with dowels;
• it is necessary to make three holes, distributing them evenly along the entire length of the side of the doorway;
• the gaps that remain should be filled with construction foam;
• after the work is completed, the remaining foam can be removed and the decoration can begin.

Problems with the lock and handle of the interior door

When the lock of the interior door does not close, does not open or jams, this is a big problem, because you can accidentally fall into a trap, be locked up in one of the rooms. I want to call the master immediately. And, perhaps, this is the right decision - it is very difficult to fix the lock on your own. This is a complex mechanism, whatever one may say.

Replacing the lock and handle is not a tricky business, especially if there is no time to wait for a specialist. You just need to gain courage and determination, carefully remove the old mechanism and put in its place a new, good, reliable one, so that you don’t get scared anymore when the lock of the interior door closes.

The first symptoms of a malfunction of interior doors

It would seem that the door either closes or does not close. But interroom doors break seriously not at once. At first, they can only behave strangely - they randomly close, open, spring. This is very bad. It is better to remove it or fix it securely. The correct one doesn't work. Usually you need a very strong draft in the apartment so that the interior doors slam shut on their own. What to do in this situation?

At this stage, it is practically impossible for residents to find the truth, to understand what is happening with the door. And yet you can try. If the interior doors close on their own, spring back, the problem is still in the same hinges, loot or lock. After viewing the photos and videos, the situation will probably become clearer.

In order for the doors to stop causing unpleasant emotions, you must either pick up the level and measure the structure instead of the installers, or wait for brighter and clearer manifestations of the breakdown, or call a specialist, or immediately install a new door.
