Upgrading from hollow to solidcore doors
We are first-time home owners that have just moved in March. Unfortunately, the bathroom doors is very broken and will need to be replaced. My fiance has also been complaining that my gaming is "too loud". After much googling, turns out that the best way to sound insulate is to replace the current hollow-core doors with solid-core doors. This is similar to the ones that we currently have. Since we have to replace the bathroom door, I convinced her to swap the bedroom doors as well. So I bought 4 of these Procore (solidcore) door SLABS and not pre-hung. Currently, the doors are attached with two 3" hinges and I know that I will need to add an extra hinge. It seems straight forward but I would like to double check my steps and get advice as a first timer. Steps: 1- Cut the doors to size using prior doors as a template. 2- Use a router with a hinge template to cut out spots for hinges and door hardware. 3- Cut out a 3rd hinge spot on door frame. 4- Install hinges and door handle and test fit 5- Paint/finish doors. 6-Install doors. Questions: When upgrading hinges to ball bearing, should I also be upgrading the size? (Currently 3"x3" rectangular hinge). Do I need to bevel the door? this definitely will complicate things I believe. Thank you submitted by /u/BloodRaevn [link] [comments]
