Thanks

Thank you

@03.06 "Masonry drill bit" "wall plugs" -> you drill through the wood (jam) and push wall plugs through? Size/length of wall plugs ?

[@bandq]

These are only required if you're fixing it into masonry. The size would depend on your project 😊

When it comes time to prime and paint the lining what do you do about the screw heads? They are almost flush, do you simply paint over them?

[@carlduringer9908]

Use a countersink bit to create a recess in the lining for the screw heads. Then screw the lining to the wall making sure the heads of the screws are below the surface. Then use any decorater's powder filler to cover them (Polyfiller etc) . You can also use 2 part filler if you prefer but this makes it harder to remove the frame in the future. Sand and paint over.

@@carlduringer9908 Thanks for taking the time.

Great video! I have just one question, what's the purpose of the plastic packers? is it to fill any gaps between the frame and the wall so the door lining is plumb? Thanks

[@sk_creamy8575]

If one side twists out of place you can apply them to the threshold of the door. It depends really on regulations. Fire doors need to be a certain reg. So fixing them to the wall for example the door lining needs to be a certain mm out from the wall so packers help massively whilst fixing to the wall. Plus whilst your fitting the door if your door gaps need to be a certain measurement outpackers can help with that too 👌

What screws should I use if the door lining is going onto masonary bricks?

[@sk_creamy8575]

5.0 x 100mm

[@GR-ir2bu]

3:08 are you supposed to drill screws in at a diagonal angle so that the heads aren’t flush with the wood?

[@bandq]

Hi, there. We'd suggest, when drilling screws make sure you counter sink the screws, the screw heads will then sink below the surface so you can create a flush finish. Hope this helps! 😊

I think he was being sarcastic

[@nicotoscani1707]

how do the screws hold the frame into the wall wtihout wallplugs when its a brick walll?

[@bandq]

Hi there, if you're fixing the frame to a brick wall you will need to use rawlplugs. Please see 2:57 😊

[@seamuswarren]

Can we plane the frame itself?

[@bandq]

Hi, it might be easier to plane the door itself. Please see here: bit.ly/34dpW2A at timestamp 0:57. Hope this helps! 😊

How can I do this and use the 96 inch tall opening’s 2 mirrored slider doors, converting them to hinged doors. Thank you! The slider doors were driving me crazy and the track was torture on my toes stepping into the closet. The hardware store near my house sends out glass to be cut, and they said they could trim the mirror door , though there is a chrome metal trim around the whole door. Knowing how much to cut will be key. I also wonder how to best attach a piece of wood to the door so that I can put hinges to that to attach it to the wall? I’m really wanting not to waste these expensive doors. Thank you so much! Lisa

[@pjroberts2010]

Height of door is 1981mm, B&Q door lining height is 2100mm. What measurement would I have to cut the height of the door lining to? Would it be an extra 10mm? So it will give a 5mm gap at the top and bottom of door. So cut at 1991mm? Thanks.

[@pjroberts2010]

@@bandq I live far from BandQ so was hoping you can help as I will be ordering online.

[@gavincollins9376]

Ideally 3mm at the top. The bottom depends it the finished floor is carpet, tiles, etc.

[@John...44...]

Door lining goes right to the floor, would would trim your door to suit after.
