The most complained about new house decoration is the installation of wooden doors, because most wooden door merchants are not very honest and do not do more homework on their own. Easily fooled! I was deceived half a year ago when renovating my home. I spent at least double the price. Most importantly, the quality was not good enough. The door lock broke down soon after and the door frame was also rough! In short, you have suffered a loss, but the advantage is that you have learned how to avoid pitfalls. When buying wooden doors, you must pay attention to the following 9 places, so as not to waste money again!

1. Wooden door material

Before buying wooden doors, first understand the three categories of wooden doors. The first one is The cheapest composite panel paint-free door, basically 5 You can get one for about 00-900, but it should be noted that this kind of wooden door does not contain solid wood at all. Both the surface and the filling inside are composite materials. The surface is made of a layer of facing paper or PVC. Although this kind of door The price is cheap, but the sound insulation effect is very poor and the durability is average! The second type is the composite solid wood painted door. The door core of this kind of wooden door is made of solid wood scraps. Although it is scrap material, the material is at least solid wood. The surface is usually a layer of density board, and the price is 900-1200 yuan per door. Finally, there is the often mentioned solid wood door, \”solid wood finger-jointed door\”. The main material is Thai rubber wood. The solid wood door is made of pure solid wood in both the core board and the surface. Some expensive ones will use higher-end boards on the surface. The price is about 1,500-2,000 yuan per unit

2. Additional charges for wooden doors

Be sure not to be cheap when buying wooden doors! There are so many tricks out there that you can’t even imagine. The most common one is the special offer! In fact, the price of wooden doors will not be greatly discounted. After all, the price of raw materials is there. If the merchant suddenly makes a huge profit and discounts, it is either a trap or a trap!

Just like the last time I bought it, I won the seller’s full size set! The general door frame width standard is generally 880mm wide. In order to reduce the price, some merchants set the width standard to 850mm wide. Your door frame needs to be 880mm wide. At this time, the merchant will ask you to add money. Yes, you will have to pay extra for upgrading from 850mm to 880mm. If you pay extra, you will not be able to keep up with the decoration time. It takes at least one month to customize the wooden door! So when you buy a door, you must ask clearly about all the dimensions of the wooden door. Don\’t just look at the price. You can\’t go wrong with cheap but not good products!

3. Payment methods for wooden doors

Also when buying wooden doors, never pay in full at once payment! If you pay the full price, you are just waiting to be disappointed. My suggestion is to first give a part of the deposit when taking measurements, and then give 80% of the payment after confirming the size of the wooden door! Finally, 20% will be given after the wooden door is installed. The specific ratio can be discussed with the merchant. In short, don’t give it all at once.! Otherwise, you won’t be able to do anything about it!

4. Cut corners on accessories

When installing wooden doors, you must pay attention to the number of hinges! Many businesses will install less in order to reduce costs! Because few owners go to check, generally a wooden door requires 3 hinges, so we cut corners and install only 2 hinges! It is a delicacy as soon as it is installed, and it will be easily thrown away after being used for a while. Don’t let this happen!

5. Door cover material

Don’t forget the door cover! ! How many people buy wooden doors without taking the door covers seriously! If the quality of the door cover is not good, the wooden door will become loose easily! When buying a wooden door, pay attention to ask what material the door frame is made of. It must be clearly marked on the contract. The best is solid wood board, but composite board is too poor. The quality cannot be compared with solid wood!

6. Door locks

In many places that sell wooden doors, the price of door locks is not included in the wooden door. Moreover, the quality of many of the door locks provided is not very good. You must trust something as important as a door lock! It is generally recommended to buy the door and the door lock yourself. If the merchant sells it in a bundle, the merchant must deduct the price of the door lock! You can buy a better anti-theft lock or fingerprint lock yourself!

7. What paint to use for solid wood finger-jointed doors

Generally, when buying solid wood doors, in addition to closingRegardless of the type of wood, the topcoat on the surface of the wood is more important! Many businesses will use some non-environmentally friendly paints, causing formaldehyde in the home to seriously exceed the standard! Although it is a very detailed point, the safety issue is huge!

8. Wooden door rubber strip accessories

When installing wooden doors, the anti-collision strips must be installed! It is usually installed directly on the door frame. Generally, as long as you make a note, the store will give it to you for free!
