Installing the door handle with your own hands
It would seem that the procedure for installing the door handle is simple and accessible. However, as well as in any other case, you need a certain skill and knowledge of the design of the handle.

Traditionally, the height of the handle depends on the height of people living in the apartment and varies between 80 and 100 cm from the floor. However, this height of the door handle can not be considered mandatory.
Then, on the marking of the location of the handle on the door leaf, a mounting hole is drilled. The size of the mounting hole should be slightly larger than the inserted handle mechanism. To drill a hole of considerable diameter, a drill with a bit (crown) is used. The door handle is applied to the intended installation site, and holes for the fastening elements on both sides of the web are marked.
Now the door handle mechanism is inserted into the drilled socket and assembled. After assembling the door handle, you can make a final fixation to the door leaf. Now it remains to make a hole under the tongue of the handle in the door frame. To find out the location, it is necessary to spread a little ink on the handle itself. The tongue of the door handle at this time is inside the door leaf.
A few control movements with the "open-close" handle will leave a trace of paint in the intended location. A metal frame with a slot is delivered from the delivery set, it is applied to the door frame and fixed with fixing screws. Now the door handle is fully ready for use.
