If you are
hanging new doors off old frames, you would probably have to cut or mortise new
hinges off the gate. New doors, also called door blanks, have got level sides
without any accessible hinge places.
This design permits you to keep the hinges
anywhere you would like on the door entrance to match exists frames.
You could put
away some money when building a home for buying door blanks and cutting the
hinge mortises from yourself. You could do it with a chisel and hammer.
(1)
Transfer the hinge places through the door frame and if your frame already has
got hinge mortises, stand the door inside the frame as if it were already
installed in the frame.
Use a pencil to mark the hinge mortise places on the
door blank. Take off the door through the frame. If neither the frame nor the
door has got hinge mortises, then leave out this step.
(2) Set
the door off its own side, with the inside edge of the door exact where the
hinges would go facing up, on the behalf of stable surface, for instance a work
bench.
(3) Keep
the hinge plate in the cutout tracing.
If it does not fit flat, use the chisel
to scrape and cut the bottom, sides or corners of the tracing until or unless
the plate fits level in the tracing. Tap the plate in the cutout with a hammer
if you require it.
(4) Screw
the hinge precisely in the cutout while using a cordless gun and 1 inch screws.
