INSTALL DOOR
Warning! To avoid injury, use at least two people to install. Adequately
support the door until completely fastened.
Pre-hung doors will be either a one or two piece jamb system. One
piece jamb doors come without trim applied. Two-piece jamb doors
come in two sections. The inside and outside trim are already applied
to the main frame. The frame section with the pre-hung door is nailed
in place, then the other frame section with the outside trim slides in
from the other side and ts closely to the wall. The two sections are
assembled with a tongue and groove joint which is covered by the
door stop.

1. If installing a two
piece jamb system,
separate the trim
assembly from the
frame section. The
trim assembly may
be taped or tacked
to hold it in place
during shipping.
Frame components
can be lightly primed
or stained prior to
installation, but
wait until after
installation before
applying nish coats.
2.Pre-hungdoor
frames extend
below the slab to
allow for different
oor heights.
The jambs can be
trimmed as needed
before beginning
installation,
however make sure
to leave adequate
space to allow air
to pass under the
door according to
ventilation codes.
3. Remove any
packaging or nails that hold the door closed.
