How to replace an internal door?

Thoo

Hello community,

I'm looking to replace an internal door (see pic below) to a more solid timber one, for soundproof purposes.

It currently measures 2037mm (height) x 817mm (width) x 34mm (thickness), and is hinged using a butt hinge with a removable pin.

I've found a solid timber door which I can purchase, but it measures 2040mm x 820mm x 40mm. 

The differences in height and width shouldn't be a problem as there is room to accommodate the extra few mm, but I'm wondering what would be the best solution to hinge the door due to the different thickness of the new door?  

Thanks in advance!

No difference in the hinging mechanism @Thoo. In fact, you can probably use the same hinges. You'll find that since you're now using a thicker external door, it might not sit fully within the rebated section of the door jamb. This won't prevent installation, the door might just be 6mm proud of the jamb.

If the difference in height and width do hinder installation, they can be trimmed to size.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
