Marking the extension strips and installing them using foam

[zihadhosenjm40]

The installation of door extensions begins with partially screwing the screws into the designated holes. The extension strip prepared in this way is pressed against the door frame and screwed in with a drill. It is recommended to start installing the extension on interior doors with the vertical strips and finish with the horizontal board. If you notice that the screw is difficult to screw in, do not apply excessive force. It is recommended to unscrew such a screw a couple of turns and then screw it in again.

After screwing the top strip, it is important to check the azerbaijan mobile database structure for loose fit to the door frame, which is corrected by pressing the strip tightly to the frame using improvised means. For example, with construction tape. The entire extension is reinforced with the same tape to avoid deformation when the drying foam swells. For the vertical extension, 3-4 strips of construction tape are enough, for the horizontal - 2-3 strips. If it is impossible to stick the tape to the uneven surface of the wall, use wooden pegs for spacers.

The disadvantages of installing extensions with screws are the complexity and length of the process, the high probability of cracks and chips appearing due to unsuccessful drilling or the wrong choice of tools.

Installing an extension on foam is considered the simplest and fastest way, since you don’t need to drill or hammer anything into the planks beforehand. How do you install extensions using foam on an interior door?

The adjustment of the extension board to the dimensions of the doorway begins with the upper horizontal part, which is first cut to length, and then to width. The width of the extension is marked with a pencil after trying the board on to the thickness of the wall of the opening, and then the excess board is cut off with an electric jigsaw. The side vertical strips are adjusted in a similar way. An important condition is the accuracy of the measurements. Preliminary assembly of the extension should not reveal the presence of gaps between the side and upper strips.

The accuracy of the dimensions and the aesthetically pleasing appearance after installation depend on measuring tools, such as a ruler or a construction square. The second option is preferable due to its greater accuracy and the minimal probability of marking an uneven line for cutting.
