Tips and advice when ordering the doors

Updated: Jul 26, 2020

You don't order a door every day. That is why we offer you advice and tips when ordering the doors you need.


Blunt door or hinged door?


As a rule, there are two types of doors: the flush door and the rebated door. Exterior doors are usually always blunt doors. These are less susceptible to burglary. For interior doors, the frame determines whether you need a flush door or a rebated door. If you have a 'deep' rebate then it is only suitable for a blunt door.

Select the correct direction of rotation


Do you need a left-hinged door or a right-hinged door?

You determine the direction of rotation as follows:

Stand in front of the door so that you pull the door towards you when opening it.

- If the hinges are hanging on the left side, the door is left turning

- If the hinges hang on the right-hand side, the door will turn clockwise.


Which size should I order?


At a blunt door


Measure the inside (width and height) of the frame. Because there are often dimensional differences, the width must be measured in three places (bottom, middle and top) and the height in two places (left and right). To determine the size of the door, pull 5 mm. depends on both the width and the height of the rebate size.


At a hinged door


Measure the width of the existing door without the edge and measure the height including the edge. If you do not have an existing door, you can also determine the size on the basis of the frame rebate. Measure the height of the inside of the rebate and count 12 mm here. at on. Then measure the width of the rebate. You can also visit industrial door latches catches in Mumbai.


Need hinges for rebated doors?


All rebated doors are provided with holes for the hinges. When you replace a door, the hinges are often old or damaged. It is then wise to purchase matching hinges when ordering your doors. You will immediately have all the materials in house.


Choosing batter


All doors in our Sugatsune are without fittings. Choosing batter is a matter of taste. During the ordering process, you can choose which fittings you want on your doors. All necessary materials (screws and user manual) are supplied as standard.


Color advice


Choosing the right color is largely a matter of taste. Please realize that dark doors bordered by white edges give a special effect. The doors become an eye-catcher in your interior. When you choose a door painted in a white tone, it is nice to paint the wall in a dark shade. This way the door comes into its own.


Maintenance advice


It is important to check the paint coat of your exterior door every year. Apply paint where necessary. This way you can enjoy your outside door for a long time. For exterior doors that are regularly and long-term exposed to sunlight, we recommend finishing the door with a slightly reflective color.


Assembly advice

If you are an experienced handyman, it is probably no problem to process the doors you have ordered, to hang them, to provide them with accessories and to paint them if necessary.
