We are installing new interior doors and, as usual in older houses, most things are not completely straight. So the walls are not plumb, and then the question is what to do with the doors? Should we choose to follow the wall as the previous doors did, or should we set them plumb even if it means the frame aligns at the top and goes in maybe 1 cm at the bottom?
Actually, it's not really plumb in that position either, but it is inside the lines anyway. We can't take more because there's a parquet floor in the way.
It would definitely be easiest to just follow the wall, but that's not what the installation instructions say.
Has been brought up before here, sorry there is no patent solution to the problem, but you'll have to tinker with it in the best way according to your own judgment, and swallow and live with it,
Check if klackfoder can be used, maybe a little modification of it (sanding, sawing, etc.)
or a strip,
If you place it parallel to the wall, there is a risk that the species will fall to the floor when you open it, and it will also open if it is ajar. Aside from those problems, you can place it flat against the wall. You need to decide what is most important.
So you shouldn't follow the wall, it has to be 100% plumb?
If you follow the wall with a new frame, the door will either open or close by itself because it's leaning to one side or the other. Not sure how the old one did, it's like choosing between plague and cholera.
And as Daniel says, if it leans too much, it might touch the floor.
The most important thing is that the door doesn't slide open or shut because it's hanging crooked. You can adjust with shims, lining against casing, etc. It doesn't seem to be a disaster in your case. I have an old timber house where the wall slopes significantly. There's a 5 cm difference from top to bottom. If I were to adjust to the wall, the door would constantly stay open or closed depending on how it leans.
I think we'll go with following the wall like everyone else in the house. They don't come up by themselves.
Tried pulling the first kramskruv but it was really slow, my min18v barely managed the pressure. The wood also made quite a bit of noise!? Had to unscrew it again. Apparently, the head of the karmskruv bottoms out before it's fully in?
You can drill up, but then there's not much wood left as you can see here
Just drill if there is a bottom in the frame, some frames have it, the frame screw holds if only half is in the frame, otherwise, use a longer frame screw.
Aha, hehe you need to drill through the frame with a 14 mm drill, of course, I only have 12 and 16 mm, so I have to go and shop a bit
Are you still at home??? It's a special drill that doesn't wander in the hole with a bit at the nose, so it becomes exactly centered for the hole in the rule, price approx. 300:- it's incredibly difficult with a flat drill, it wanders, but it works if you hold it exactly straight, but without a center hole.
Are you still home??? It's a special drill that doesn't wobble in the hole, with a drill that sits in the nose, so it becomes exactly centered for the hole in the rule, price around 300:- incredibly difficult with a flat drill, it wobbles, but it works if you hold it exactly straight, but without a center hole
Aha! Good that you mentioned it, where can one find such a thing then?
