How To Add A Door To A Room Opening
I have a few questions on how to do this.
How to add a door to a room opening. The new frame and bookcases could be the white. And they could be the same color as the front door. What is the easiest way to frame the new wall opening. The good news is there s no structural work involved.
I used this oil rubbed bronze privacy lever door handle. Unless you want to add a bit of de and re construction to this project the barn door type would be the only sliding option i can think of. The height of the door opening is 90. Leave as much of the original drywall in place as possible when doing demo work to avoid extensive wall repairs later.
To start an opening in an interior wall first remove the plaster or drywall on both sides of the wall. Hi i would box in a frame for the door into the office side enough to clear the stairs and add bookcases in the office to allow for the new extra depth then add the the french doors one stationairy and one fuctional. Anyone that does crafts knows what a disaster that room can be at times. It s not quite wide enough to frame in one side and make a pocket door but i would think if you trimmed the doorway it might work to use two 24 inch french doors.
Add your door handle to the door. Match up and drill out the hole for the door latch on the cased opening. What i would like to do is install a door and have a shelf opening above it where most people would put a transom at. With the wall covering removed there are two choices for removing the existing framing to make room for a new door.
All you need to do is fill the opening with wood studs create the rough opening for your new door add the drywall to cover the wall studs install the new door and trim and then paint. Any beams that span over the archway between the two rooms have already been installed. It is not a load bearing wall.
