White moulded doors

[FilthyMcNastys]

I had a few white moulded doors from a site online.

When fitting them they seemed very cheap, When putting the hinges on, I took them off afterwards to paint the door.

I tried to put the hinges back on and the screws won't go back in the wood probably, I'm guessing it's cheap wood inside, the screws just keep turning, which makes all the hinges slack.

Also when putting the handles on, when I drilled the hole for the handle it was all brown paper inside the door.

Are all white moulded doors like this or do these seem like cheap ones?

They were £50 each.

Thanks

I didn't trim none off at all. I used new door lining, so brung the door lining out a little bit to save triming the door.

Were they marked at the top for the lock edge?

Normally the work 'lock' with an arrow.

are your screws 30mmx4mm or 7x1+1/4"

No idea, the screws wasn't very long, only short ones that came with the door hinges. I've used longer ones before in pine doors and had no problem.

I know the white moulded doors only have a thin strip of wood inside so you can't take much off so thats why I thought it happend.

Can anyone recommend a where to get decent quality white moulded doors from?
Was looking around on the internet and found this site:

http://www.directdoors.com/interior...-4-panel-door-lightly-grained-faces-ihb-p1973

seem to cost a lot more then what I was buying last time, any idea why? better quality?

Moulded doors tend to be at bottom end when it comes to quality, have not had problems with cheap door from Selco, £12.50 + vat.

As xr4x4 said I think you have fitted them the wrong way around. Check for markings as the wood insert for the lock is only on one side. I fitted some cheap BBQ jobbies and had no problem with them. The hinge screws only need a nip up, easy to overtighten them.
