Today we hung an interior door and some double-doors.
You start by getting a bit of a bevel on the side that will have the passage set on it so that the inside edge clears the front of the jamb. allow 2 or 3 mm for the coats of paint, then put the door in the jamb. if it fits in already its good but if it doesnt you will need to plane some off until it does. once it fits nicely scribe a line down the side and take enough off so youve got 2 or3 mm gap on the top and sides. the bottom should be taken up depending on what type of floor covering is going under it.e.g tiles.
Next step is marking and checking in the hinges. make sure you have a sharp pencil and cut right on the line or it makes it hard when you hang it.
once thats on you mark out where your passage set will go, then with a 54mm hole-saw bit and a 24mm spade-bit, you drill the door.
Install the passage set and your done.
With the double doors, you follow the same process but you put one side on, then scribe the other side to that. you wanna make sure the gap in the middle is even and that they are in the same line at the top.
