This age-old process has been refined over the years to achieve the perfect fit, but with the advent of technology, this complex task has seen a dramatic transformation. Our CNC capabilities at Solwest have allowed us to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.solwest.com.au\/products\/hardware-machining\/\"> pre-machine<\/a> all the cutouts required for door installation, offering an unrivalled level of precision and a more streamlined process for carpenters and fitout companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Traditional Door Hanging Process<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The traditional method of hanging a door, especially in a new frame, requires multiple steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Measurement:<\/strong> The process starts with taking accurate measurements of the door frame, taking into account any irregularities or out of square instances. This step is crucial as even slight inaccuracies can lead to problems later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Door Selection and Preparation:<\/strong> The appropriate door is selected based on the measurements. Depending on the type of door and the flooring, the bottom or sides may need to be trimmed to ensure the door swings freely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scribing the Door:<\/strong> Scribing is the process of marking out the exact areas where adjustments need to be made to ensure a perfect fit. The door is set in the frame, and the areas needing adjustment are marked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Marking and Cutting the Hinge Positions:<\/strong> The positions for the hinges are marked on both the door and the frame. The hinge positions are marked on the edge of the door, and a square is used to extend these marks across the width of the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chiselling out the Hinge Recesses:<\/strong> Once marked, the hinge recesses are chiselled out on both the door and the frame. This requires a high level of precision to ensure the hinges fit perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fitting the Hinges:<\/strong> After the hinge recesses are ready, the hinges are fitted into the recesses and screwed into place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mounting the Door:<\/strong> With the hinges fitted, the door is then mounted onto the frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Adding the Door Hardware:<\/strong> The final step involves fitting the door hardware, such as the handle or lock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this process allows for a bespoke fit, it is labour-intensive, time-consuming, and leaves room for error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Solwest Advantage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Solwest, we&#8217;ve transformed this process with our door profiling service and CNC capabilities. We can now pre-machine all the cutouts required for door hardware, streamlining the installation process and enhancing the precision. The advantages include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Precision:<\/strong> Our CNC machines are programmed to cut with an extraordinary level of accuracy, reducing potential errors from manual work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Consistency:<\/strong> Every door we produce has the same high level of consistency, making this particularly beneficial for large commercial projects where uniformity is vital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Customisation:<\/strong> Our CNC capabilities allow us to handle a wide range of hardware requirements, from pivot door preps to mortise locksets and custom flush pulls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time and Cost Efficiency:<\/strong> Pre-machining all the cutouts reduces the installation time on-site, leading to increased efficiency and cost savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The New Look Process<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With pre-machined doors, the installation process is significantly simplified:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Measurement:<\/strong> As with the traditional method, accurate measurements of the door frame are taken. However, these measurements are now used to program the CNC machine, ensuring precise cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Door Delivery:<\/strong> The pre-machined door, complete with all hardware cutouts, is delivered to the site, ready for installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Installation:<\/strong> The door is positioned in the frame, and the pre-installed hinges are secured to the frame. Hardware can be easily installed into the pre-machined cutouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cleanup:<\/strong> With all the prep work done off-site, there&#8217;s significantly less mess to deal with on-site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re a carpenter or a fit-out company, our pre-machined doors mean less time, less mess, and less stress, with a flawless finish every time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hanging a door is an intricate task that requires precision, patience, and skill.
