Tips for repairing doors

One of the common defects of the old doors (or poorly fortified new) - shattered box. In this case, it should be strengthened.

This is best done with the help of wedges that you want to score between the wall and frame, temporarily fixing the latest in the doorway. Then attach the box with each side in three places: one at 1 m from the floor, the rest at a distance of 30-40 cm from the top and bottom of the box. To do this, drill a hole in the wall not less than 5 cm and they Drive in wooden plugs, then check the box and nail to the cork with thick nails. This nail head should be recessed into the timber to 2-3 mm.

The door frame should fit snugly in the doorway. If, however, between it and the ends of the wall space left, the box will hang only on nails, why quickly loosen. To prevent this from happening, type in a slot rack, pre-fitted in thickness, after which the remaining flaws zamazhte solution.
