Door type
Different categories have been defined for room doors, each of which is based on different characteristics of these doors, but in a general category that exists for the sale of room doors, there are two types of room or interior doors:
a pre-hung door, including a framed door with a hinge, is ready to be installed and used when the door is sold; While a slab door only includes a door without any kind of frame, hinges or handles, sometimes they are even semi-finished when selling a room door, which means they may need to be painted or stained.
Door size
When installing or replacing a room door, the way it opens and closes and the dimensions of the door are of particular importance. If you intend to replace a door, you need to choose a door that has the same dimensions as the current door. Standard widths for room doors are 24, 28, 30, 32 and 36 inches, while the height should be at least 80 inches. When buying a slab room door, it is recommended to measure the desired width, height and thickness for the door in advance.
How to rotate the door
It is important to determine and know how the door rotates in order to install and position the door. To determine how the door swings, stand on the outside of the door (i.e. the side you enter from, such as the hallway to the bedroom), if the hinges are on the left side of the door, you have a left-hand door, and if the hinges are on the right-hand side, If there is a door, the door is on the right.
From buying room to install it
The sale of room doors is done in different ways, from the sale of raw doors to the doors completely ready for installation, and gives you the right to choose the right item for you depending on the cost and the time you can wait for its preparation. Among these doors, the following can be mentioned:
Raw: To prepare raw doors, only one coating layer is used on them to seal the wood and the adhesion of the paint on it. makes it easy.
Painted: In these doors, a layer of paint is also used, which covers the design of natural wood and the color It creates uniformity on it. These doors are available in a variety of colors from light (such as maple honey color or white oak color) to dark colors (such as black or brown).

Semi-finished: Semi-finished doors require more work than finished doors because it is true that they are prefabricated, but they require painting.
In short, it can be said that before going to room door sales centers, you need to know what type of door you need: a hinged door, that is, with a hinge and frame, etc., or a slab or slab door. It is also recommended to measure the exact dimensions of the door you need before purchasing and know how the door rotates (right or left).
