 Beauty and fashion, health updates, pets, gadgets DIY Part 1 Hanging an internal door Robert has to admit that this is not one of his favourite jobs, but it’s well worth it. New doors can transform a room. Don’t forget to shop around. Our local carpenter had just the doors we wanted at half the asking price in a large DIY store (you know the one we mean!). Make sure you don’t fit a nice new door in a grotty old door frame though!  Measure the inside height of the door frame, on both sides, and deduct 4mm from each measurement (Diagram B). Mark the resulting size on the door, measuring from the top, since excess timber should be removed from the bottom rail. Now, cutting equally from each edge, remove the excess timber with a plane. Repeatedly reposition the door in the frame to ensure that you do not plane off too much timber. Sand off the edges. Next edition, Part 2.
