19mm Antique Black Door Stud 20 Pack

Product Information

Next, add two inches to the width measurement and 1-1/2 inches to the height measurement to determine your rough opening size. You’ll need this gap for the wooden shims you’ll use to level and install your prehung door. Now you need to add the wall studs. Start by screwing a stud to the wall on both sides. Measure up and make sure to get a good tight fit. Now measure 400mm centres for the studs if using 9.5mm plasterboard and 600mm if using 12.5mm plasterboard. Using a measuring tape, measure the width and height of your new door, including the frame. The standard door size for interior door frames is 80 inches by 32 inches, but the width can vary between 28 and 36 inches. Make sure you have the exact measurements of your particular door from edge to edge. When building any stud wall it is always a good idea to install sound installation. You can use acoustic plasterboard instead of standard plasterboard as this is denser so helps stop sound passing through.

For a more secure and stronger fit, double up on the studs at the door opening. This is not essential but if you are fitting heavy solid wood doors or fire doors it is a good idea. Remember to account for this when working out the position of the door opening.

There’s an art to putting plasterboard onto the frame, so make sure that you follow our cutting plasterboard guide to get a good clean cut that will make it easier when it comes to plastering. Finally you need to add noggins. These are small pieces of timber that brace the studs and give them more strength. Use the same timber as you used for the studs. Measure the gap between the studs, mark and place about half way up the stud. The final piece in the jigsaw is to add the studs and noggins to complete the door opening. Now measure the height and mark where the top of the door opening will be. If using a standard 1981mm door remember to add 65mm to create the necessary height — so 2046mm. If the door is to be placed in the middle, mark your timber accordingly and cut, leave the appropriate gap and cut the timber for the other side of the door. Typically you do not need to apply for planning permission for building an internal stud wall but there are a few rules you should follow. Fire regulations and sound insulation are two to consider.

You can use any good quality wood for the frame of a stub wall, but as it won’t be seen it just needs to be solid enough to support the plasterboard and door. Now measure the width of the door opening at the position where the noggin is going to be fixed and cut to length. Now fix into studs with screws at an angle and make sure it's level. You now have the outline of the door frame. Now measure two small studs to go between the noggin you just put up and the ceiling plate. This will brace the noggin and stiffen up the frame.

Calling in an expert is especially important if you’re installing a door in a load-bearing wall, as any mistakes could cause a portion of your home to collapse. Once you have measured up and got the gap right, you need to screw the floor plate — or plates — into the floor. Note that the larger area i.e the 100mm side, lies flat on the floor, and use 90-100mm screws. As you head towards the door opening the stud gap won't be 400mm or 600mm. Don’t worry, simply add a stud where the door space is. Use a spirit level to make sure the studs are vertical and screw in at an angle top and bottom. This step-by-step process for how to frame a door assumes you want to install a pre-hung door on an interior wall with exposed framing. If you are adding a door to an existing wall, start by removing the existing drywall and any insulation to expose the framing. It also assumes you’ve finished constructing wall framing, with your top plate and sole plate already installed.
