Tools and Materials You'll Need:
Edge banding (appropriate length and type)
Iron (for PVC and melamine edge banding)
Ironing cloth or Teflon sheet
Utility knife or sharp blade
Scraping tool (e.g., a scraper, sanding block)
Sandpaper (fine grit)
Measuring tape
Pencil
Clamps (optional, but helpful)
Wood glue (for wood veneer edge banding)

Step-by-Step Installation Guide:

1. Preparation: Clean the door edge thoroughly to remove any dust, dirt, or debris. Ensure the surface is smooth and dry for optimal adhesion. Measure the length of the edge you need to cover and cut the edge banding accordingly, adding a few extra centimeters for trimming.

2. Applying the Edge Banding: For PVC and melamine banding, apply the banding to the edge of the door, ensuring it's properly aligned. Place the ironing cloth or Teflon sheet over the banding and use the iron (set to a medium heat) to apply pressure and melt the adhesive. Work slowly and evenly, moving the iron along the entire length of the banding. For wood veneer, apply a thin layer of wood glue to the door edge and carefully press the veneer into place, using clamps to ensure proper adhesion.

3. Trimming the Excess: Once the adhesive is cooled and set, use a sharp utility knife or blade to carefully trim away the excess banding. Use a scraping tool to remove any excess adhesive that may have seeped out from the edges. For a cleaner finish, consider using a special edge banding trimming tool.

4. Sanding and Finishing: After trimming, use fine-grit sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges or imperfections. This step is crucial for achieving a professional-looking finish. For a truly seamless look, you can consider using a specialized edge banding router bit to further refine the edges.

5. Cleaning: Once sanding is complete, clean the door edge to remove any dust or debris. You can use a damp cloth to wipe the surface.

Tips for a Perfect Finish:
Use a sharp blade for precise trimming. A dull blade can tear the edge banding.
Work in a well-ventilated area, especially when using adhesives.
Don't rush the process. Take your time and ensure each step is done correctly.
Practice on a scrap piece of wood before working on your actual door.
For complex curves, consider using a special edge banding applicator for a more precise result.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific edge banding type.
