If you know anyone with a magnet trade account you can get a door lining for £6 !

Screw your plasterboard to the timber too , nails are crap.

And you may want to fill the partition with insulation too , to reduce noise and retain heat.

I find the best way of plasterboarding over a door frame with minimal mess and a good fixing is to screw your new frame to the existing door frame , setting the frame inside the frame back the thickness of plasterboard , then once the frame is fixed , chisel away what is left of the door frame at each side and sheet it !

Hope that makes sense as its not easy to describe when you cant actually show what you mean

studs could be anything really from 3x2 cls to proper 100x50 sawn timber.

you will need a new door lining set about £30. size of timber needed will either be 3x2 cls or 4x2 cls depending upon what size studs are used.

Bit more details needed... Stud wall existing? total thickness of wall at the moment to work out what size timber they used. You will need a new door lining and stops also.
