Door Installations

Door installations are not as difficult as you might think. When it comes to how to install a door, just be sure you are careful and pay attention to the details. Before installing a door, read the instructions very carefully. If you have purchased a manufactured door which is pre-hung, the hinges will attach the door to hardware called jambs. These, along with the sill, are set firmly to keep everything perfectly squared as you install it.

When doing door installations, make sure that the door is aligned properly. The shims will help to ensure the door is vertical and set properly in the opening. Nail the shims and jambs into place carefully to avoid any damage. Once the door is secure, check it to make sure it swings easily, and doesn't just fall open or shut. Once you have put trim around it, your job of installing a door is complete! Now you know how to install a door.
