32 x 138MM S/W DOOR LINING SETS WITH STOPS 2'6"/2'9"
Typical applications
These lining sets are suitable for internal door installations in residential properties, flats, offices, and commercial spaces where standard doorway heights apply. They work well in new build projects, refurbishment work, and renovation where existing openings match the 2'6" or 2'9" heights. The softwood construction is ideal for painted finishes or where lining will be decorated to match internal joinery.
- Internal bedroom, bathroom, and living space doorways
- Office and commercial interior partitioning
- New build and renovation projects with standard opening heights
- Applications where painted or decorated finishes are required
Installation and fitting
Measure your existing doorway opening height carefully before ordering to confirm whether 2'6" or 2'9" is appropriate. The lining set arrives as a complete frame with stops already fitted, ready for installation into the prepared opening. Ensure the opening is square, plumb, and level before fitting. Use shims or packing to achieve proper alignment, then secure the frame using nails or screws into the surrounding wall structure. Check that the frame is square and that the door stop is correctly positioned before final fixing.
- Verify opening height matches product specification before purchase
- Check opening is square and plumb using a spirit level
- Use timber shims to adjust alignment during installation
- Secure frame firmly to wall structure with appropriate fixings
- Ensure door stop is not damaged during fitting
Limitations and site considerations
These sets are manufactured to standard UK doorway dimensions and are not suitable for non-standard or oversized openings. Softwood is susceptible to moisture and should not be used in wet areas such as shower rooms without appropriate protective treatment. The pre-assembled nature means the frame cannot be modified on site to accommodate unusual opening widths or heights. Ensure the opening is adequately prepared and the surrounding structure is stable before installation.
- Not suitable for openings significantly larger or smaller than specified heights
- Not recommended for wet rooms or areas of high moisture without treatment
- Cannot be cut or modified to suit non-standard openings
- Requires stable, properly prepared wall openings for secure installation
Maintenance and protection
Softwood door linings should be protected from moisture and damage during storage and on site. Keep sets dry and covered until installation. After fitting, apply appropriate primer and paint to protect the timber from moisture ingress and wear. Regular inspection of the painted finish is recommended, particularly around the door stop area where wear may occur. Maintain the door stop in good condition to ensure proper door closure and prevent damage to surrounding walls.
- Store in dry conditions and protect from weather before installation
- Apply primer and paint promptly after fitting to protect timber
- Inspect painted finish regularly and touch up as needed
- Keep door stop clear of obstructions and in good repair
