doors
Install prehung doors. Doing the rest yourself is a pain in the ass.
What you need to know[1]
- The clearance between the bottom of the door and the finish floor should be 3/8-inch or less.
Glossary
- Rough opening: measurement from stud to stud (facing the opening, left/right by up/down).
- Jamb depth: using the wall adjacent to the door, the depth from front to back, including plaster or drywall (e.g. drywall + stud + drywall)
- Swing direction/handedness: easy to confuse, figure out which side of the wall it should be on and which direction it should swing.
