How to add framing to an internal door?

[james95]

Hello,

if I purchase an internal door and want to put some framing on it (just a border), will liquid nails hold this together or are regular nails required?

I am reading that PVA glue is better to use.

Please provide any advice you have.

Thanks!

Hello @james95, 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for your question about adding framing to your door.

I recommend using small fixing nails such as Paslode 40 x 2.0mm 100g Bright Steel Bullet Head Nails - 90 Pack or similar depending on the depth of the timber framing you'll be putting on. I recommend using Selleys 500mL Aquadhere PVA Wood Glue Interior Adhesive, it's an excellent adhesive when joining wood together.

If the door is hollow and not solid, will using the glue be enough to hold the light timber framing? I believe I can’t put nails into the door if it is hollow is that correct?

Thanks
