Buying a door. What do I need to consider?

[Mjärn]

I'm going to build an interior wall (the carpenter is). I'm going to buy an interior door. Is there any brand of door that should not be bought? Is it unattractive to have an interior door with 3 panels? Or should one have a smooth door?

I don't know anything about this, so I'd like to know in advance what to ask for when I get to the store. What do you need to buy besides the door? Frame? More? Do you need a threshold?

What about door moldings? Do you buy those at the same time as you buy the door? Do the door moldings have to be in the same style as the moldings the room will have? Or can you buy them afterward? How do you do it?

Going to build an inner wall (the carpenter will). Going to buy an interior door. Is there any brand of door that should be avoided? Is it unattractive with an interior door that has 3 panels? Or should one have a smooth door?

I don't know anything about this, so I would like to know in advance what to ask for when I get to the store. What do you need to buy besides the door? Frame? More? Is a threshold necessary?

What about door trims? Do you buy them at the same time as the door? Do the door trims need to be in the same style as the ones the room will have? Or can they be bought afterward? How do you do it?

The door is fine, don't forget to buy the frame with it. With the frame, a threshold or threshold plate can be included. It depends a bit. Trim on the inside and outside can be bought at the same time. You need about 6*220 of it.
You should also have either program screws or adjufix. Regular screws can also work if you’re skilled. Then you need wedges. At least 16 particle wedges. Maybe one or two more, depending on if you need to wedge to get the lintel level.

You need to know how thick the wall will be in order to choose the right frame. Frames come in three different thicknesses. Trim is probably best installed by the carpenter, on the other hand if he buys materials for the wall, he can probably buy trim as well.

Regarding appearance, you usually choose trim and doors in style with the other doors in the house.

The door is okay, don't forget to buy the frame with it. With the frame, a threshold or threshold plate might be included. It depends a bit. Molding strips for inside and outside can be bought at the same time. You'll need 6*220 type.
You should also have either program screws or adjufix. Regular screws work too if you're skilled. Then wedges are needed. At least 16 chip wedges. Maybe one or two more depending on if you need to wedge to get the lintel level.

Oh damn, so many things. The carpenter said he can buy the materials to build the wall and that I can buy the door myself so I can get the one I want. Maybe I should check with him about all these things before I buy, right? He might have certain screws and stuff that I don't need to buy?

You need to know how thick the wall will be in order to choose the right frame. Frames come in three different thicknesses. It’s probably good if the carpenter can put up the moldings, on the other hand, if he buys material for the wall, he might as well buy moldings too.

Regarding appearance, you usually choose moldings and doors that match the style of the other doors in the house.

Good that you mentioned the thickness! I haven't talked to the carpenter about how thick the wall should be exactly. But I suppose standard is 45mm wide? Or?

Interior doors have standard measurements these days. Isn't it easiest to agree with the carpenter on the door's width and height and ask him to buy the frame, molding, and screws and install the frame? Then you can buy the door leaf you want later.

Inner doors have standard measurements nowadays. Isn't it easiest to agree with the carpenter on the width and height of the door and ask him to buy the frame, moldings, and screws, and install the frame? Then you can buy the door leaf you want later.

Great idea! I will probably ask him about this, then you can just hang the door later. The door leaf is the door itself?

 

[Dublin]

Great idea! I will probably ask him about this, then you can just hang the door later. Because the door leaf is the door itself?

Yes, exactly.

 

[Mjärn]

Yes, exactly.

What width "should" an interior door have nowadays?

The standard frame is

Interior doors have standard dimensions nowadays. Isn't it easiest to agree with the carpenter on the width and height of the door and ask him to buy the frame, moldings, and screws and install the frame? Then you buy the door leaf you want.

8x21 or 9x21 works then the door leaf is around 70 or 80 cm. Frame thickness is available as 68, 93, or 118 mm. Corresponds to 45regel 1 layer of plaster/side for 63. For 98 it's 70 regel 1 gios/side or 45 regel double plaster. 118 is 95 regel single plaster or 70 double plaster.
Other dimensions of the wall require either a frame addition, stepped molding, or lining.

What width "should" an interior door be nowadays?

What are the widths of your other doors?
It usually looks best if they all have the same width, at least all the ones that can be seen at the same time.

The standard frame is

8x21 or 9x21 works, then the door leaf is around 70 or 80 cm. Frame thickness is available as 68, 93, or 118 mm. Corresponds to a 45 frame 1 layer of plaster/side for 63. For 98, it’s a 70 frame 1 layer of plaster/side or a 45 frame double plaster. 118 is a 95 frame single plaster or 70 double plaster.
Other wall measurements require either a frame extension, stepped casing, or lining.

It's more common nowadays to use OSB+plaster than double plaster.

Why don't you ask your craftsman? He knows exactly what is needed.

- Measurements?
- Frame (thickness)?
- Threshold?

Installation details such as mounting, radiators, etc., the craftsman is likely to handle.

When it comes to the design of the door, it's usually purchased in the same style as the rest of the house, but of course, it's entirely up to you to decide. You also need to consider if you want a soundproof door, a filled door, a solid door, or just a cardboard door. How do you know? You go to the store or browse manufacturers' websites.

Don't forget the handle, preferably similar to the rest of the house.

What do your other doors have?

It's more common nowadays to use OSB+gypsum than double gypsum.

That may be so, but it builds just as much, so it doesn't matter. Personally, I don't use OSB; I prefer plywood.

 

[BirgitS]

That may be true, but it builds up just the same, so it doesn't matter. Personally, I don't use OSB, I'd rather use plywood.

For the wall thickness it doesn't make any difference, but if TS is going to order a job, they need to know what is standard.

For the wall thickness, it doesn't matter, but if the original poster is going to order a job, he needs to know what is normal.

Where are you trying to go with this? OSB, plywood, and drywall have the same thickness in their standard forms.
