How to best create a door opening in a brick wall?

[tob_ekl]

Hello!
I am planning to open a doorway indoors in a non-load-bearing brick wall about 120mm thick. Does anyone have tips and experience on the best way to do this? With a sledgehammer, saw, or large angle grinder?

Thanks in advance!

Regards, Tobias

cover as much as you can because it will dust something like h-e.

otherwise, a stone blade on the angle grinder is probably the easiest, at least around, the rest is just to go berserk on

okay, it's best to cut around first then. angle grinder, larger model I suspect? it could also be a leca-wall, that black leca they used in the past, but that's easier to saw than brick, right?

Rent a water-cooled concrete cutter if you can handle a little water spill; it significantly reduces dust, also tape up a tight plastic sheet and seal all door gaps. But be prepared for a total cleanup afterward anyway.

A proper motor cut with water connected so it doesn't dust like hell, an angle grinder without water will dust down the whole street
And then go as fast as possible so it doesn't have time to dust and splatter so much!

okay, I will try with plastic. there's parquet on the floor, so water won't work. the wife has just washed the white curtains.
