The door leaf with a box (interior door) can be installed with your own hands only on mounting foam, without the use of additional fasteners. But if you use this method, you need to know some nuances.
There is nothing complicated in installing a door leaf with a box, however, people who do this for the first time can make mistakes. Read more about how to install correctly.
First of all, between the door frame and the panel itself, you need to insert pieces of fiberboard (or other material of suitable thickness). This is necessary so that when the door is installed on the foam, the canvas does not jam.
The author also recommends nailing three horizontal wooden slats to the box: in the upper and lower parts, as well as in the middle.
The main stages of work
After preparation, the door leaf with the box in the doorway is installed. It is necessary to set the door level, and then lock it.
And for this, the master fastens the wooden slats with screws to the wall. The same slats need to be nailed to the box and the wall from the back. The gap between the wall and the door frame should be approximately 1.5-2 cm.
At the last stage, it remains only to foam the door. Moreover, it is desirable to moisten the surface with water. Since the gap has a large depth, foam must be in several layers, and each layer also needs to be moistened with water.
