The handles need to be properly attached otherwise the door will become imbalance. If the door opens and closes itself then it can scratch the flooring. Moreover, if the measurements of the door and its frame are not correct then the door might be stuck or hard to close due to the humidity or heat inside the bathroom. Following are some helpful strategies to install a bathroom door correctly:
1. Take measurements of the door location with a steel gauge tape. The typical size is thirty-six inches to eighty inches. If you have bought a factory-produced door then you need to make additional space of 1/8 inch on any side. From the top, the door must be 1/8 inch away from the wall and inch above the floor.
2. On the door, mark the exact height that you need to fit the door with a carpenter's pencil. This height should be the door opening height less than 3/8 inch. Then mark it on the side of the door with the pencil. Darken the line so that it is clear.
3. Cut the side of the door with a round saw; smooth it with the sandpaper that is 120-gravel, then paint the surface and then leave it to dry for one night.
4. Before placing the door, decide which way the door should open, the pivots should be on the right hand from the entrance view. Make holes on the right side of the door opening with a drilling machine. Keep in mind that they are of exact same size as the pivots. In addition, note down the measurements to reassure the distance is the same mentioned above, from the above and floor.
5. Put two wedges, wooden ones preferred on the sides of the door, position and fit the door in the frame. Take help from a friend. Valve the pivots with a hammer in the holes that you made before.
6. Remove the wedges; now check the door by opening and closing. If it is loose a little then tap the pivots with the hammer and strengthen it. Keep moving the door a couple of times to check its balance.
