9 inch door liner

Ashworth1 · 18 Sep 2017

I have made a doorway from my existing outside wall to my new bedroom and it goes through a solid 9 inch wall (including my dot and dabbed plasterboard its just over 10 inch)
I'd like to have a standard internal door here. All the doors in the house have architrave around so id like this to match.

Is it possible to buy ready made door liners that are over 9 inches deep like you can for standard interior doors or will I have to make up my own? I'm assuming that I line this door in the same way that I would for a standard interior door? Or am I incorrect with this assumption. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Well you've beaten me, by 2 inches!
I was just measuring up for a 7" wide liner, and I will make it up myself, due to not being able to buy an off the shelf one.
I think you'll need to make on yourself, or get a local timber place to do it for you.

Not sure it it will be easy to get 9"+ wide timber, but you could biscuit joint two 5" strips together.

As for architrave, you could have something made to match, or perhaps DIY if you are handy with a router.

You want a door casing really. Have bought one off of these guys before as needed 11inch wide, not cheap cheap but was good quality and arrived quickly!

Joint 7" and 2" that way the doorstop can cover the joint

Just return the plaster around the opening on the room side and use a normal lining

That would be be cheapest, most sensible and in my opinion the nicest looking option in a modern house.

Yes, it's certainly the nicest - the other two are a bonus

Not a good photo, but I did this, with a moulding between the door casing and the 4x1 planed timber
