At LONGXUAN, we take pride in producing a wide array of high-quality wooden doors, including solid wood, WPC, plywood, HDF, and MDF doors to suit varied tastes and requirements.

Materials and Tools Required

1. Lumber Selection: Opt for high-quality hardwood like oak, maple, or cherry that enhances both durability and aesthetics.

2. Tools: Ensure you have a reliable tape measure, saws (circular and jigsaw), chisels, a mallet, wood glue, clamps, and a drill.

3. Components: Gather all necessary components such as hinges, latches, and screws.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Planning and Design

The foundation of any successful project is in the planning:

- Door Measurements: Measure the door frame accurately for a perfect fit.

- Design: Decide on the style, whether modern, rustic, or traditional. Sketch your design or use digital software for a more precise visualization.

Step 2: Cutting the Lumber

- Sizing: Cut your lumber according to the measurements. For an average door, you'll need stiles, rails, and a panel core.

- Sanding: Sand all pieces to ensure smoothness for an elegant finish and ease of assembly.

Step 3: Assembling the Door

- Frame Construction: Use mortise and tenon joints for strong connections. Apply wood glue and clamp until set.

- Panel Fitting: Insert the panel into the frame, ensuring it fits snugly but isn’t too tight, allowing natural wood expansion.

Step 4: Finishing Touches

- Sanding: Finish by sanding the assembled door to remove any rough edges or glue residues.

- Staining and Sealing: Choose a wood stain according to your aesthetic preference, followed by a sealant to protect the wood.

- Hardware Attachment: Attach the hinges and latch, ensuring they align with the frame fixture.
