When installing wooden doors, these details cannot be ignored.

Home renovations are never without regrets, and some details are easily overlooked. In fact, the more detailed the part, the more attention we should pay to avoid leaving any regrets.

When wooden doors are not in use, it is best to keep them fully open or fully closed.

If ventilation is needed, the wooden door should be fully opened and secured to the doorstop at the back. Otherwise, close the wooden door completely. Do not leave the wooden door in a half-open or half-closed state for extended periods, as this increases the pressure on the hinges. If the wooden door itself is too heavy, it can easily cause the door leaf to loosen or the wooden door to warp. At the same time, if a strong wind suddenly blows in while the wooden door is in a half-closed state, the wooden door will suddenly slam shut due to its own weight or directly hit the wall, causing significant damage to the wooden door.

It's best to install doorstops on wooden doors.

When opening and closing wooden doors daily, excessive force can cause them to slam against walls. Over time, this can lead to paint chipping and damage to the back edges of the door. Therefore, we recommend installing a doorstop. On one hand, a doorstop can cushion the impact of the door hitting the wall, effectively protecting the door when it is opened. On the other hand, after the door is opened, the doorstop can secure it, preventing it from swinging back and forth in the wind and maintaining a quiet environment.

For heavier wooden doors, you can add an extra hinge.

Most wooden doors have two hinges, one on top and one on the bottom. However, if the door is heavy and opens and closes frequently, you can consider adding another hinge in the middle to increase its sturdiness.

Wooden doors should be covered when painting walls.

If your home needs renovation or there is a lot of dust, cement, or lime, you need to cover the wooden doors to prevent paint from getting on the surface of the doors, which can cause the door material to peel or fade. Also, paint or other colored products on the wooden doors will make them difficult to clean.

Sliding doors need to keep the rollers running smoothly.

If it is a sliding door, the key is to keep the rollers running smoothly. The usual practice is to keep the sliding door track free of debris, clean and dust it regularly, and apply lubricating oil to the roller sliding parts regularly to ensure that the sliding door opens and closes smoothly and does not derail.
