- Tape measure, square, pencil.
If the box is included, the buyer gets a canvas and a set of profile bars. It is from these boards and have to find the smew and then the entire structure.
The work on the Assembly starts with measurements, which depends on many things. Elements of the door frame prefabrication are made with a stock of about 50 mm for standard door opening. Pomeryaetsya opening and determined that it meets the dimensions of the box.
Standard cloth interior door has a height of 2000 mm. Clearances between leaf and frame on each side should be 3 mm (bottom 10-15 mm to the flooring to install the nut). Based on this determined height of the lateral uprights and the length of the horizontal lintel.
Elements of the box are fastened with screws, at least two in each junction. The smew from MDF or chipboard, first drill a thin drill along the Central axis, making the holes for the screws. If this rule be neglected, or locate the screws are not centered, then it is likely that the jumper and the rack is cracked. Slim drill should be at least 2 mm thinner than the diameter of the screw. Commonly used drill bit for wood 4mm.
Loop to set the to installation lucky. In the horizontal position is the markup the size of the loops with a space of 200 mm above and below the side posts. The loops can be used different. There are loops of butterfly that do not require a tie-in to the box. To mortise the hinges it is necessary to make a selection on the box and the canvas.

The box is installed in the doorway and is attached to the first jumper. It will be enough to fix it with 4 screws, two on each side. The jumper must be fixed horizontally. You must make sure that and side rails were parallel to each other. If they are not parallel, so there is bias and they are not set correctly.
Completely to ensure proper installation of the doors can only be opened and closed several times the door leaf.
Requirements lutke ↑
The main requirement is that the boxes according to the size of the aperture. It should be less opening of 25-30 mm from each side. The upper jumper should be placed horizontally, and the side of the rack vertically. Carton width must allow the casing to be without bias.
