The metal entrance door can be installed independently, which will save some means. To work at the initial stage, you will need a pair of assistants (since the design weighs a lot), but everything else is not difficult to perform alone. This article will tell about how to install metal doors with your own hands.

Installation of metal doors with his hands: the benefits of choosing

To the doors the choice was made correctly, you should take note of all of its advantages and disadvantages. The advantages include:

• the door of the sheet metal and the corners will reliably protect the house (an important condition: the thickness of the metal should not be less than 1.5 mm);
• good thermal insulation: The mineral wool or plate of polystyrene is laid in the structure of the design, due to which sound insulation characteristics are also improved;
• resistance to moisture change: metal doors are not deformed and not crackdown;
• refractory: steel design is able to withstand high temperatures without changing the form;
• the duration of operation: with proper care of loops and locking devices, the metal door (processed by the anti-corrosion agent) will last for many years;
• diversity: Manufacturers offer structures decorated with forged elements, with decorative coating and elements that increase strength.

Options for insulation door leaf

Important: For premises with high fire safety requirements, the doors of the special design are chosen, the characteristics of which are confirmed by certificates of conformity from the manufacturer.

Tools and fixtures for mounting metal doors do it yourself

Installing inlets of metal doors with their own hands is performed using the following tools and devices:

• lomik or automotive mount;
• nail-holder;
• chisel;
• hacksaw or saber saw;
• construction level;
• perforator;
• roulette;
• hammer;
• bulgarian with a circle of metal;
• screwdriver figure;
• foam assembly;
• anchor bolts;
• armature with a diameter of 10 mm;
• welding machine.

This is not whatever you need to install the iron door. Some little things are not specified: marker, wooden wedges, etc. Some tools from the above will be needed at the dismantling stage.

How to remove the old door

Old door, usually wooden. At the stage of it to dismantle, adherence is below the specified sequence of actions will help perform work faster and with minimal difficulties.

Old door and box can be dismantled by mounting

1. Matching or scrap, resting it into the floor, remove the canvas. At the same time it is recommended to break the door with a small amplitude so that it makes it easier to go with the loops. If this does not help - the loops will have to dismantle, starting below.
2. The chisel and hammer dismantle a ticket from two sides of the door box.
3. Remove the seal and wedges between the box and the walls of the opening.
4. To dismantle the box, remove the mounts (brackets and nails) with a nail. Hats nails can be cut by a grinder. If this fails, the box will have to be cut in several places and then knock out in parts. It is necessary to act so as not to damage the doorway of the wall itself.
5. The door box threshold is removed similarly.

We prepare the doorway for mounting a metal door

After dismantling the old door, the opening must be prepared for the installation of a new design. To do this, trim reinforcement rods, remove hopping pieces of plaster, strengthen the walls and shook them. In some cases, the opening needs to be expanded or vice versa - to lay unnecessary space. Depending on the material and strength of the wall, the following should be performed.

1. The walls of foam concrete blocks are strengthened throughout the perimeter with a welded design of steel corners. The same must be done for walls of loose brick.
2. Concrete openings are strong, for their preparation, it is enough to crop out the protrusions that can interfere with the installation and shock the corner with cement.
3. Operactions in the walls of wood are strengthened by a casing. Old threshold, if he came into disrepair, should be replaced with a new made of moisture-resistant wood.

All dimensions of the doorway are monitored at the stage of its preparation.

Important: In order to facilitate the installation of the input metal door with their own hands and save the material, when preparing the opening, it should be monitored and adjusting its dimensions, check the deviation of the vertical planes.

Metal Door Installation Technology

If you need to install a metal door, it is ordered by the size of the opening immediately with already embedded locks. It is recommended to abandon locking devices with the branches: they are unreliable. Instead, the door canvas must be equipped with "counterpasses" - metal pins welded in the face on the side of the loop and included in the response sockets located in the box.

Before conspiring the iron door in the opening, it is recommended to remove the door cloth with the loops. After that, you need to do the following.

Rama is installed on remote gaskets

1. The frame is installed in the opening on the laying of wood or steel rods with a thickness of 20 mm.
2. With the help of the construction level, the frame oriented in such a way that it is in the wall plane, and all sides of its side parts were strictly vertical.
3. Temporarily fixed the frame in the opening of wooden wedges.
4. Through the holes drilled in the side of the hole in the side of the hole in the walls of the opening drill holes for anchor bolts. In order for the depth of the holes is sufficient, the drill must be tamed along the length of the anchor. The mount should be performed at least four points - two on each side, retreating 10-20 cm from the corners.
5. The frame is fastened with anchors, after which temporary clamps (wedges) are removed.
6. The gaps between the wall in the opening and the frame are filled with mounting foam. Avenience, the extra foam is cut off, platbands are installed.
7. Tap the door leaf on the loop, regulate them.

During installation, the position of the door box is controlled by the level

There are other ways to fasten the frame.

1. With the help of reinforcement rods, driven into the holes drilled in the opening. The rods are welded to the frame, and then the grinder is cut up too much.
2. Anchors or reinforcement rods - through the eyes welded to the frame.

Fastening frame by reinforcement through the eyes

Tip: If the platbands are after installation, it is necessary to paint, adjacent to the plots around the perimeter glue the painting tape.

Mounting the door box with anchor screws

The technology described above can be used for concrete and durable brick walls. Consider how to mount the iron door in wooden walls and folded from foam concrete.

Installation of a metal door in the opening of a wooden wall

The feature of the installation of the iron door in a wooden house is explained by the mobility of the walls depending on the change in humidity. In order for the frame and the web of the steel door to be deformed, the installation is performed without tight fixation in the opening. For this, the technology provides for the following.

Doorway in a wooden house

1. The opening establishes a cladder, which is a wooden timber. The installation is performed by the type of "Schip-groove" type: the grooves of the casing of the casing are saturated with a spike, drunk in the opening. The compound is movable, due to which the temperature expansion of the structure is compensated.
2. The frame with screws is attached to the casing so that the screws are not included in the wood of the opening.

Metal Door Block Installation Scheme in Wooden House

Important: In the upper part between the horizontal part of the chipping and log (timber), the opening should remain a gap of several centimeters. It is filled with Minvata.

Installation of metal door in the wall of foam

The material of this wall is loose, it is bad withstanding the blows. Foot in the foam concrete block will not be kept. In this case, the opening is strengthened with a welded design from the corners, which must frame walls. The frame of the door block is attached to jumpers connecting two parts of the strengthening design.

Similarly, entrance doors are installed in the opening of a wall, isolated from loose bricks, from the roshchatnik.

Conclusion

Using the information set out in the article, you can independently install the inlet door from the metal. To check the correctness of the completed installation, leaving the door cloth in a switch position: the door must remain stationary. If it opens or closes, then the center of gravity is shifted due to the deviations of the door block from the vertical.
