internal doors

We're renovating our house and approaching the point when I'll need to deal with the internal doors. We want to fit oak (or oak veneer) doors and want the framing to match. I had been looking into replacing the door linings (which are currently painted white) with oak or oak veneer ones, but...

Just bought 2 new half glazed doors to let some light into the kitchen and hallway but noticed are current doors strike plate shape. Is this going to be something I could do without a jig or would it be easier to just buy a new plate (rectangular shaped)

This is not exactly a DIY as I won't be doing this myself. I wanted to ask for the collective wisdom of what type of contractors this will entail (who will I need). I want to increase the door height in my flat. Above the existing doors is hollow (plaster) and can be knocked down. I will need a...

Hello All, I've just purchased some new internal doors and they have come with these metal plates in the slots cut for the hinges. There's three of these per door (top, bottom, middle) and I've tried (unsuccessfully) to find the correct hinges that with either fit into the attachment or into...

Hoping someone can help. I removed an internal door to varnish it and paint the reveal and architrave at the same time. I have reinstalled the door and it is now sagging. I removed some wood from the top hinge recess in the frame to help but it's still sagging and catching at the top when trying...

Hi, just moved into a 1980’s built bungalow, can’t afford to change doors just yet (13 altogether) they are the standard flat panelled stained veneered doors of the 80’s, I’ve sanded a patch and they have come up a nice lighter colour. I’m wondering if anyone else has done this? And if they end...

Hi I am slowly constructing my extension and everything has been going okay until I stumbled upon an article regarding openings near a wall return. It appears you need a 550mm internal return at an external corner although i'm not sure about my instance. It is an internal wall and I have an...

Hi, My wife and I = have just moved in and we need new doors for the bedrooms and bathroom upstairs. However, they measure 1981x726mm (not 762, I have checked this many times), but we cannot find any online that share these measurements. There is 1981x762 and 2040x726 but never 1981x726. The...

We want to put in a door for a room in our apartment. Since there isn't much space for the door to open in the room, we want to go for bi-fold or french/double doors. The opening is ~83cm wide and ~206cm high and the notches on either side 1,5 cm, see attached pictures. The measurements of the...

Has anyone made a solid plywood internal door? I am thinking of replacing an internal hollow core hardboard door (about 2000mm x 760mm) with one made of solid birch ply. Im struggling to find anywhere that sells single sheets of 35mm birch ply so was planning on cutting 2 18mm sheets to size and...

Hi, I want to replace the linings and doors in our house as the doors themselves are beaten up and were very badly hung, not to mention the linings are fire damaged (previously painted over at some point). When I went to measure up I realised these are between 'paramount' partition walls -...

These below are the existing door locks, which are falling apart and require replacing (internals not working, lost keys etc). We'd like to replace like for like (though not too bothered with the small sliding locks (as a child might get locked in). As we like the look of them and more...
