Put the lock handle on the interior door. Simple installation of a latch handle on an interior wooden door (video). Mounting the handle with a magnetic lock
At first glance, it may seem that this work does not require effort and is quite simple to perform, but this is not so. In order for the installation of the door handles to be successful and correct, the installation is carried out in stages in accordance with all instructions.
Classification of door handles
Door handles differ in both type and material. Therefore, the installation of door handles begins with their selection. You can on interior door put a stationary handle that does not interact with either the latches or the lock. It is fixed with screws or clamping screws. In the complete set of the door handle with a push mechanism, a latch is used, which cuts into the door. In this case, the latch is removed only by mechanical action, i.e. when you press the handle, and so it is always in the extended position. Installation of fittings with a rotary mechanism is great for toilet and bathroom, since on one side it can be opened and closed with a key, and on the other it has a locking button or a latch.
When choosing hardware for a door, you need to decide on the material from which it is made. Can be used doorknobmade of metal such as aluminum, brass, steel, etc. The wooden element is made from valuable wood species. In order for it to serve for many years, it must be made of solid material. You can also install your own glass handles made of Bohemian glass or natural stone... For utility rooms elements made of plastic and other artificial materials are mounted. When making your choice, you need to remember that the fittings should be combined with both the door and the interior of the room.
Installation instructions for door handles
Required:
- roulette;
- square;
- awl;
- chisel or chisel;
- a hammer;
- electric drill;
- screwdriver;
- door handle fittings.
When doing the installation of door handles with your own hands, you must follow the instructions for installing them to obtain quality result... First, the height at which the fittings will be installed is marked. When marking it, the average height of family members is taken into account. Basically, door handles are installed at a distance of 80-120 cm from the floor. Having decided on the height of the position, a mark is made in this place with a pencil. In this case, the fittings are applied so that the tongue protrudes completely from the door.
All markings should be done using a square. To do this, first draw a line on one side of the door leaf. Then, retreating from its edge by 60 mm, an appropriate mark is made with an awl. After that, with the help of a square, a line is drawn at its end, which is pierced with an awl in the middle, and the same marking is made on its other side. Further, for the installation of door fittings, you will need a drill with a special drill with a crown, which can be of various diameters. First, a hole is drilled on one side of the web to a depth equal to half its thickness. For this, a corresponding mark is made on the crown. Then, by analogy, installation is performed on the other side. In this case, during operation, the drill must be held strictly at a right angle, in no case deflecting it to the sides. The resulting hole will house the door handle mechanism.
For the subsequent installation of the handle with your own hands, the crown is changed to a conventional drill, with the help of which a hole is mounted from the end of the door leaf. It is needed for the tongue protruding from the door. You need to drill a hole for it by smoothly moving the drill. After that, a contour is punched with a chisel or chisel, a sample is made and a latch is applied. If everything is done correctly, then it should be located in the same plane with the end of the door leaf and at the same time be completely recessed. At the end, the latch is secured with screws.
Next, the fittings are applied to the place of their location and the holes for the bolts connecting the handles on both sides are marked with an awl. At this stage of work, you will need a drill that matches the size of the hole. After all the marked places have been drilled, the construction of the hardware for the door is assembled. To do this, first, one of its parts is inserted, while falling into the special holes of the latch using guides. Then the second part is substituted and everything is tightened with bolts.
Final stage of installation
Required:
- awl;
- bit;
- a hammer;
- electric drill.
After completing the installation of the fittings, a metal frame is installed on the door frame.
First, markings are made for the hole for the tongue. In order for everything to work out accurately, it is necessary to apply either a drop of oil, or paint, or toothpaste to its end. Then the tongue is retracted into the door, and in its closed form, the handle rises and falls several times. In this case, a clear trace of the applied product will be imprinted on the box. You can also mark it by inserting a metal ruler into the gap between the closed door leaf and the frame, first at the top of the tongue, then at the bottom of it, making the appropriate marks with a pencil.
Further, a metal frame is applied to the markings on the door frame and the place of the subsequent sampling under the tongue and plate is marked. First, a sample is made under the tongue. To do this, using an awl, a mark is made on the inside, and then a hole is mounted under it with a chisel or chisel.
Before proceeding with the selection of the contour under the frame, you should check the correct installation of the tongue, i.e. it should come out completely from the latch, and the door itself should close well. The metal frame is then screwed to the box. To properly install the door hardware, you must strictly follow all instructions. And as a result, the handles are easy to press and the latch is easy to walk around as well.
Repair manual for door fittings
Required:
- set of screwdrivers;
- screwdriver.
During operation, the door hardware may loosen or come off. In this case, its repair will depend on the type of handle. If it is spherical or similar, it is secured with a through pin. To repair it, you need to open door turn one of the handles counterclockwise, fixing the other part and decorative overlays in place. When separating them, the pin must remain in one of them. Next, you need to adjust the pin and, putting back the pads, insert the element with the pin. Then, on the other side, attach another part of it, and wrap everything carefully by hand, without using tools.
When repairing a door handle in the shape of a bracket, you need to screw in all the screws either with a screwdriver or a screwdriver. In the event that the screws are twisted, they must be unscrewed. Further, by sliding the handle on one side so that it covers the old holes, on the other side, all the screws are screwed into new places. To avoid scrolling, screw them in without effort. Fittings of this type are placed vertically for convenience.
You bought, say, a new interior door and decided to assemble the door frame yourself and install this very door without any experience. Well, it so happens that some things have to be done for the first time. The most important thing here is not to rush and be attentive to what you are doing.
When I had to install interior doors in one of the apartments for the first time, I must admit that I made a mistake when sawing the first box. As a result, I had to buy a new box set. Since then, I have been very attentive and accurate when doing the work on assembling and installing doors.
When sawing elements door frame there is no room for error, this must be remembered. As they say, measure seven times - cut once!
So, the door has been brought and is in the corridor, possibly for the second week. There is nowhere else to postpone and it's time to get down to business. A reasonable question arises. Where do you start?
Door leaf markings for insertion
You should start with marking on door leaf places where will be embedded handle with latch... The door leaf is, in fact, the door itself without additional elements, frames, accessories and platbands.
First, decide in which direction the door will open, the position of the bevel of the latch tongue will depend on this. Now you need to determine the height at which the door handle will be located. As a rule, the handle is cut at a height of 90-100 cm from the floor or threshold. In rooms, of course, there are no thresholds. But in a bathroom or toilet, they are very possible.
Boxed with doorknob, you will almost certainly find instructions with the dimensions for which you need to make the markup. Often the dimensions are indicated on the box itself. Ordinary handles are almost always installed in the same pattern. In shops construction tools special kits for cutting handles into the door leaf are sold. The set consists of a 23 mm diameter pen drill. and wood crowns, 50-54 mm in diameter.
So, mark a distance of 95 cm at the end of the door leaf. Using a square, draw a clear line perpendicular to the end of the leaf. Mark the middle on it and roll. You can screw it with any sharp object, awl, nail or self-tapping screw. At this point, you will need to drill a hole for the latch. But take your time, it's not time yet!
Need to continue markup for pen, or speaking professionally, for knoba... To do this, it is necessary to continue the line at the end further to the canvas itself on both sides. This must be done strictly perpendicular to the door leaf, using a square. It is useful to remind that the pencil must be sharpened sharply.
One detail should be noted here. The handle can be positioned 60 or 70 mm apart. from the edge. The adjustable latch length design allows for this. Decide which distance works best for you, and mark the desired distance on both sides of the canvas on the lines drawn earlier.
Please note that on a blank canvas, that is, on one that does not have decorative elements in the form of strips, glasses and other things, the distance from the edge at which the handle will be cut is not decisive. After all, the canvas is absolutely flat and smooth. But the presence of decorative inserts can limit the position of the handle. And if you decide to embed the handle at a distance of 70 mm. from the edge of the door leaf, make sure that the handle does not overlap the decorative elements. Otherwise, make a mark of 60 mm. from the edge.
Drilling hole for handle
Drilled first hole for handlethen for latches... This is more comfortable. Firstly, when you start drilling the butt, you will know exactly when to stop, and secondly, all the chips when drilling the butt will simply fall down and you will not need to sweep or blow them out with a vacuum cleaner, which is very inconvenient.
So, take a drill, fix a wood crown (50-54 mm) into the chuck and start drilling from one of the sides, having previously nailed the marked point. Do not try to drill through the entire blade in one go. Firstly, you will not have enough depth of the crown itself, and secondly, the teeth of the crown will be clogged with sawdust, the crown will get very hot and burn the tree, and the deeper, the stronger. Only the fire was not enough for us!
Having drilled 4-6 mm., Without turning off the drill, pull it towards you, removing the crown from drilled hole... At the same time, you do not need to turn on the reverse and generally make sharp movements. Everything should go smoothly but confidently.
Remove sawdust from the crown teeth. Be careful, it can be very hot! It all depends on the material of the door leaf and the degree of its moisture content. The denser and wetter the material, the more the crown heats up. But the crown with blunt, ground-off teeth heats up the most. Never use one! Buy a new one, my advice to you.
Having cleaned the teeth of the crown, and, if necessary, letting it cool down, immerse it in the place from where, some time ago, you took it out, and continue this important mechanical operation to get the hole we need so much. As I already mentioned, the crown, due to its limited depth, will not allow the canvas to go through. Having drilled halfway, you should go to the other side and repeat the whole operation again. You need to be careful here. As you approach the middle of the canvas, do not press hard, let yourself enjoy the last seconds of this exciting process! Otherwise, you run the risk of slipping through with a crown and hitting the door leaf with a drill. We don't want to scratch it or dent it, do we?
We drill a hole for the latch
Let's move on to the next step. We take out the crown from the drill chuck, not forgetting about its elevated temperature. We clamp a 23 mm diameter pen drill into the chuck. Pay attention to the photo. It shows that the drill has a size of 25 mm. But be calm, no cheating! I just didn't have a drill required diameter, and I used a “perk” of 25 mm, having previously grinded off its edges with a “grinder” to the desired diameter. This is a little trick, take note.
Drilling must be strictly perpendicular to the end of the door leaf. At first it seemed to me that it is very difficult to control. I mean, perpendicularity. But then I realized it was easy to do just by observing how evenly the drill picks the circle. This is especially noticeable at the beginning of drilling, and having gone a little deeper, you can hardly worry that the drill will deviate from the set course. But this does not mean at all that you can relax and look not at the drill, but at the cat, sprinkled with sawdust, passing by.
Installing a latch for an interior door
Well, what then! The holes have been drilled, now you need to sink the latch bar into the end of the door leaf so that it is "flush" with the plane. Professionals do it with a manual milling machine, but not everyone has one, so you have to work with a hammer and a chisel.
Insert the latch into the hole and trace around it with a sharpened pencil. To keep the bar in place during the stroke, I usually immediately drill the holes for the fastening screws and slightly tighten them, fixing the bar. After circling the bar, remove the latch and grab the chisel. Needless to say that the chisel should be not just sharp, but very sharp ?!
Requires a minimum set of tools:
- Drill
- Chisel 19 mm
- Crown diameter 50 mm
- Pen drill 23 mm wide
- Drill for wood or metal 4 mm
- A hammer
- crosshead screwdriver
- And a pencil
So, let's start to embed the lock.
Drill a hole in the center with a 4mm drill
We put the lock flush with the door and make a mark after the fact
We drill through the hole with the same drill, observing a right angle.
With a 50 mm crown we make an inset on one side of the door.
Attention!
In your specific case, a different size crown may be required.
We finish on the other side.
We take a self-tapping screw of a suitable length, close the door by slamming the box and through a 50 mm hole we put a self-tapping screw into the remaining 4 mm hole and press a mark in the door frame.
At the mark with a 23mm feather drill, cut a hole to a depth sufficient for the lock latch to enter.
With the same drill at the mark, we drill a hole for the lock.
We insert the lock and make a mark with a sharp pencil to drown it into the door leaf.
With a chisel we make notches strictly according to the mark and make a selection so that the lock sits in the secret, then we fasten it with self-tapping screws.
We begin to assemble the lock, insert the outer part into the grooves (as a rule, it does not require disassembly).
Then carefully remove the decorative "cup" sitting in the grooves, then press the latch and remove the handle.
We connect the two sides with screws.
We insert the handle so that the latch works.
We snap a decorative "cup".
We attach a striker, make a mark, select the excess with a chisel and fasten it.
Done!))) Correctly embedded lock is free to close by pressing on the door leaf until it slams.
Video explanation for installing the lock
Instructions for installing a door lock (knob)
1.Door markings
On the door leaf, apply the markings for installing the knob (lock) according to the template. The recommended distance from the floor is 965 mm.
2. Marking holes
After you have applied the markings, drill two holes: 50 mm in diameter for the knob (lock) handle and 23 mm in diameter for the latch mechanism.
H. Installing a striker
Install the striker at the same height as the latch so that the additional latch tab remains recessed into the latch body when closing, which is an obstacle during spinning.
4 Disassembly of the knob (lock)
To disassemble the knob (lock), press with a special key on the spring-loaded latch at the handle attachment point and remove it.
5. Adjusting the latch length
6. Installing the latch
Install the latch into the groove in the door (make sure that the bevel of the latch is directed towards the door closing). Install the cover plate with the rod so that the rod and withdrawal sleeves fit exactly into the grooves on the latch body.
7. Installing the knob cover(castle)
First, slide the inner plate of the jujube overlay onto the rod and secure it with the screws (or screws). Then screw on the outside of the pad.
8. Installing the handle
Install the handle so that the groove on the rod matches the groove on the knob handle, press the handle until it “clicks”.
9. Repositioning the mechanism in the latch handle
For models of latches with a latch handle (versions 01 and 03), it is also possible to install both on the left and right doors. To do this, it is necessary to remove the cylinder mechanism and the locking mechanism from the handle body and swap them (according to the figure), in accordance with the door opening side.
Installation order.
1. Determine the location of the knob and apply the markings, guided by the template and installation instructions.
2.On the installed latch body, mark the installation location of the striker on the door jamb and select the groove for the striker.
3.Fit the striker and secure it with screws.
4. Alternately outside and inside the room, check the knob's functionality.
5.For models of latches with a latch handle (versions 01.03), installation on the left and right doors is also provided. To do this, it is necessary to swap the locking mechanism and the cylinder mechanism from the handle body.
As you can see, inserting the lock into the door is not such a difficult task, the main thing is not to rush.

This article will help you figure out how to embed a latch handle into a door leaf. Adhering to the work algorithm described in the article, you can easily do this operation yourself, with a minimum set of tools and very quickly.
No door is complete without a handle. The most popular type of handle for interior doors today is the latch handle.
The design of this type of handle is such that, regardless of appearance, they are all installed in the door leaf in the same way. How to do it yourself will be described in this article.
Latch handle design
The handle itself, that is, the visible part of it, can look completely different. So:
or like this:
All of these handles-latches consist, in fact, of two parts - the handle itself:
and latch mechanism:
Both parts of the latch handle require a separate cut into the door leaf.
Latch handles are available without a latch - a door with such handles cannot be locked from the inside, with a latch - an additional pivot mechanism installed on the handle and allows you to lock the door from the inside, and with a key - on one side of the handle a turnkey mask that allows you to lock the door from the outside, on the other a latch ... All handles have design differences that do not affect the insertion process in any way. The inner part (latch) is also the same, that is, it cuts in the same way for all types of latch handles.
So let's get started.
Required tool
To make the process of installing the latch handle as easy as possible, you will need:
- Hand drill or screwdriver.
- Crown for wood with a diameter of 50 mm.
- Wood drill with a diameter of 23-24 mm.
- Chisel.
- A hammer.
- Pencil.
The crown and drill can be purchased separately, or as a set, which is called the "Set for inserting latch handles".
Installing the latch handle
1. The installation process begins with the marking of the door leaf for drilling. The marking scheme, as a rule, comes with a pen.
If there is no scheme, then you can mark it up manually. To do this, put a mark at a distance of 60 mm from the edge of the door.
2. On the side edge of the door along the axial marking line, mark the center for drilling.
3. Using a chisel, gouge a three-millimeter recess under the latch faceplate. It makes sense to pre-mark the center with an awl so that you do not have to re-mark it.
4. Drill a through hole with a 50 mm bit. It is better to do this on both sides of the door to avoid damage. door cover at the exit of the crown when drilling.
5. As a result, we get the following hole:
6. Go to the side edge. With a wood drill with a diameter of 23-24 mm, we drill a hole for the latch into the marked center. Do not make it too deep, otherwise you risk drilling the door right through to the panel.
7. We already get two holes.
8. Install the latch in the side hole and screw it on with self-tapping screws.
9. Remove the upper part of the handle. To do this, look for a hole on the side.
Using the included key or any other thin flat object:
press the tongue inside the hole:
and remove the handle itself up:
10. Remove the decorative strip and thus open the mounting holes.
11. Insert the outer half of the handle.
12. Insert the inner half. We tighten both with the screws included in the kit.
13. We put on a decorative strip and a handle body. Do not forget to press the inner tongue with the key.
14. With the door closed, mark the place where the latch tongue of the door jamb touches, and then gouge out a recess in the resulting place for the latch tongue.
15. Insert a decorative plastic pocket.
16. We fasten the metal plate.
17. The handle is installed.
If there is no drill, then all the holes can be made using a suitable chisel, however, in this case, installing the handle will require more serious repair and construction skills and may turn out to be an overwhelming task for an unprepared person.
