Door frames plasterboard

[messimagician]

I'm planning on dot and dabbing 12.5 plasterboard to brick wall but the door frame doesn't stick out much and the brickwork varies in places near the door frame.

What I'm thinking of using is some strip wood and sticking it to the door frame, is that acceptable?

What I'm not sure of is where abouts do you stick it on the frame. The strip will be on the door opening side. do you go right to edge where the door hinges are or place it a few mill back?

What I don't want to happen is the door to be impeded with the strip and architrave

I had a similar issue and used pine strip around the door so that the frame cleared the plaster so I could fit the architrave. A good timber merchant will be able to provide mm perfect strip for this purpose.

Ok thanks

What thickness did you end up having to use for your frame?

It looks like I might need 10mm but this and the architrave I'm using is 10mm would be too big and prevent door from fully opening.

I guess the other option would be to bring the door 10mm forward as well.

on 10mm you could try wide throw or parliament hinges and the holes will still be in the strong part off the frame rather than the plant on bit

Rip the frame out and install a new one seeing you are getting plastering done
