“Aura” – modern interior door features stile and rail wood construction. Stiles and rails are made of engineered wood – a combination of pine core and a thin layer of MDF. Such design makes it stable during different humidity conditions. Compared to a completely solid wood door, it does not swell or contract as much as the other. Finish of the door is eco-friendly laminate featuring texture and color of a real wood. Door jambs (frames) are – 3″ wide. A typical wall built with 2×4 beam and 1/2″ sheetrock measures 4 1/2″ in width. Thicker walls require bigger extension jamb planks. Measure your walls accurately in order to obtain proper materials for your installation project.
Door Locks
Baskets. There are two common baskets for residential doors – 2 3/8″ and 2 3/4″. The basket is the horizontal distance between the center of the bore and the door edge. Ville Doors prepares your doors for a 2-3/8″ latch basket unless specified. The image shown on the right pertains to all tubular lock sets or latches including deadbolts, door knobs, door levers.
Tubular Locks are the most common in the US. They are easy to install or replace. Just make sure the backset is the right length. Tubular locks are widely found in residential and office doors. They are relatively secure for most applications.
Mortise locks are the most secure locks that combine locking and latching mechanism in the same device. A higher security is achieved by a thicker and longer mortise box. These types of locks require special tools, and machining skills.
Mortise Lock Set
Magnetic Lock is operated by a magnet embedded in a lock. By turning a lever, you can release the catch and pull the door open. This fancy lock is completely silent, there are no loaded springs. No visible latch bolt facing out. Magnetic locks are offered for mortise and tubular locks.
Keyed Entry levers are often used on exterior doors. Both handles lock or unlock by a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other side.
Privacy handles are most commonly used for bedroom and bathroom doors. Both levers lock or unlock by a flat pin key or thumb turn depending on design.
Passage levers are typically used for hallway and closet doors, where no privacy is required. Both levers are free to turn.
Dummy levers are typically used for decorative purposes, such as a door lever for an inactive door in a double door configuration. It is stationary on the door and does not provide any latching function.

Installation Instructions
Interior door installation is not a do-it-yourself project. It must be performed by a professional installer. This guide is not intended to teach a trade but rather help contractors with some proven technics. We often encounter with situations when contractors shoot nails in the finished surface of the jambs or casings. Materials are damaged, doors need to be reinstalled.
Basics are the same for installing any type of door. When it comes to installing a door jamb, we suggest using one of the two methods.
- When using screws is an option. Just make sure you cover them with screw caps, which can be found at Home Depot. Sometimes installers put screws through hinges or behind a door jamb seal.
2. A more accurate way is to use EZ-HANG brackets. One side of a metal L shape bracket is attached to the back side of the frame, the other side is attached to the wall. No visible screws. Brackets can be found at any Home Depot or Lowes stores.
Doors and windows spray foam can be used. It serves as an adhesive and an insulator.
