Gather the Necessary Materials and Tools
Making a interior door requires several different materials and tools. You will need to purchase a door slab and door frame. You’ll also need to buy door jambs, hinges, door knobs, and other hardware. Additionally, you’ll need to purchase lumber, screws, nails, and sealant. You’ll also need saws, drills, sandpaper, and other tools to complete the project.
Cut the Door Slab and Frame to Size
Using the measurements of your doorway, cut the door slab and frame to size. Use a saw or jigsaw for this step, and use a straight edge to ensure a precise cut. If the frame is too large for the doorway, you may need to trim it down.
Prepare the Door Jambs and Hinges
Using a drill, drill holes for the hinges on the door jamb and the door frame. Make sure to measure and mark the holes before drilling so they are spaced properly. Next, secure the hinges to the door jamb and frame with screws. Make sure to use the right size screws for the hinges.
Attach the Door Slab and Frame
Once the hinges are secured, attach the door slab and frame to the door jamb. Use screws to secure the door to the door jamb and frame. Make sure the door is level and that the hinges are aligned properly.
Secure the Hardware and Finishing Touches
Once the door is attached, secure the door knob and other hardware. You may need to drill additional holes for the door knob and other hardware. Finally, add a sealant to the door frame and jamb to prevent drafts and moisture from entering the doorway.
