How to Hang a New Internal Door in Position

Last Updated: September 20, 2016

Tools required :- Screwdriver, wedges.

Now all the preparation work for fitting the hinges is complete, you can either fix the hinges to the door frame, or as I prefer, fix them to the door edge. For the time being fix the hinges in position using one screw in each of the hinge centre fixing holes, in case any adjustments have to be made.

Position the door against the door frame, and as before, rest it on wedges so it is at the correct height on the door frame. Fix the hinges in position temporarily with single screws in each side of the hinge. Check the door closes flush in the door frame and the gap between the door edges and frame is around 1/8″ (2mm). When you are satisfied with the fitted door, the remainder of the screws can be screwed in to hold the hinges in place (see Fig 1 ). Now the door is ready to have the latch and handles fitted (see How to fit the door handles and latch).
