Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you start, ensure you have all the necessary materials, including:

Door panels

Door frame

Hinges

Door handles

Locking mechanism

Screws and tools (screwdriver, drill, measuring tape)

Step 2: Prepare the Door Frame

Begin by measuring the door frame to ensure your door panels fit perfectly. Cut the frame pieces to the required dimensions, ensuring a snug fit. Assemble the frame by securing the corners with screws or wood glue.

Step 3: Attach the Hinges

Position the hinges on the side of the door where it will be mounted. Mark the screw holes and drill pilot holes to prevent the wood from splitting. Secure the hinges with screws, ensuring they are level for smooth operation.

Step 4: Install the Door Handles

Select your preferred door handles. Measure and mark the location for the handle and lock mechanism on the door panel. Drill holes as needed and follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install the door handles securely. Ensure they are aligned properly for ease of use.

Step 5: Hang the Door

With the hinges attached, it’s time to hang the door. Align the hinges with the corresponding part of the door frame and secure them in place. Test the door for smooth opening and closing, making any necessary adjustments.

Step 6: Final Touches

Once the door is hung and the handles installed, check that everything operates correctly. Add any additional hardware or finishes, such as paint or stain, to complete the look.
