ABSTRACT
Door-hanging is a vital part of second-fixing carpentry and requires a good standard of workmanship and speed. One to one-and-a-half hours is the established hanging-time for a lightweight internal door and two-and-a-quarter hours for a heavy external type or fire-resisting door. When hanging a door on a solid, rebated frame, this time includes fitting the door properly into the rebates – and on a door lining, it includes adjusting and fixing the planted door stops after the door has been hung. When more than one door is to be hung in the same locality, time will be saved by treating the fitting of locks and door furniture as a separate, secondary operation.
