There are secrets to inspecting wooden doors. Qianchuan Wooden Doors teaches you how to inspect them.

　　In home life, wooden doors serve as a bridge for communication within the household. They provide us with more space and allow us to find a bit of tranquility and warmth amidst the bustling city. Therefore, many homeowners pay close attention to the installation and inspection of wooden doors. So, what exactly qualifies as a proper installation, and how should homeowners carry out the inspection? In response, Qianchuan Wooden Doors has compiled some of its own views, hoping to help everyone better complete the installation and inspection of wooden doors.

　　1. The appearance of the wooden door should be smooth and harmonious.

　　After installation, the surface paint film of the wooden door must not have scratches, abrasions, defects, or other human-caused quality issues. The paint film on the surface of the wooden door should be smooth and flat, with a delicate feel, and free from obvious quality problems such as sagging, orange peel texture, pinholes, or white spots. The door leaf and door frame surface materials and textures should be consistent, with uniform and coordinated overall paint color. There should be no obvious color difference when viewed from one meter away.

　　2. The wooden door installation must be vertical and smooth.

　　During installation, the entire door must be perpendicular to the ground. The door leaf should open and close smoothly and be able to stop at any point without self-closing or self-opening. If the door leaf opens or closes by itself without being locked, it indicates that the door is not vertical to the ground and is tilted. Additionally, the gaps between the door leaf and the door frame should meet national installation standards and be uniform. According to standards: the clearance between the door leaf and the upper frame/hinge side frame/lock side frame should be ≥1mm and ≤3.5mm; the clearance between the exterior door and the ground should be ≥4mm and ≤7mm; the clearance between the interior door and the ground should be ≥5mm and ≤8mm; the clearance between the bathroom door and the ground should be ≥8mm and ≤12mm.

　　3. The wooden door and door frame should fit tightly.

　　Generally, for convenience, indoor doors usually open inward. After the door leaf and door frame are installed, the back of the door leaf should be flush with or slightly lower than the edge of the door frame by 0.5 to 1mm. A clip-type sealing strip should be added to the door frame to prevent noise when the door is closed and to ensure better fit between the door leaf and the door frame. The face line tenon should fit tightly with the door frame groove, and the face line should also fit tightly with the wall.

　　4. Check the condition of the door frame.

　　After installation, the door frame should have no hollowing or bending. The verticality of the door frame can be checked using a plumb line or infrared device. Lightly tap the side panel of the door frame and listen for hollow sounds. If hollow sounds are present, it indicates a large gap between the base frame and the wall, making the door unstable and prone to accidents later. In such cases, the door should be removed, the baseboard properly padded, or foam glue used to fill the gap before reinstalling.

　　5. Check the operation of hinges and locks.

　　The wooden door should open and close smoothly without creaking sounds. The slots of the main locks and hinges must fit tightly with the locks and hinges. All screws must be fully screwed in and flush with the surface. The door leaf should fit perfectly with the door frame. Only by meeting these installation standards can the door achieve aesthetics, ventilation, sound insulation, and smooth operation. Finally, pay attention to whether the door opening direction meets requirements.
