Q: Should a door frame be nailed or screwed?

• <div><p>When hanging a door frame, it&rsquo;s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/install-interior-door">cost to replace a door frame</a> is about <b>$400</b>, but you can save on labor costs if you&rsquo;re confident in your ability to DIY the project. </p></div>

Q: Do slab doors come with hinge cutouts?

• <div><p>Most slab doors do not have hinge cutouts, making them a complete blank slate. You will have to measure and cut the mortises yourself. You can order a slab door from a home improvement store and ask them to make the cuts, although you still have to take the measurements independently.</p></div>

Q: Does a prehung door come with a jamb?

• <div><p>Yes, prehung doors include a door jamb. Prehung doors are sold as a single piece with the door frame already constructed, including the hinges. The only part missing is the trim, which you add after fastening the door. They are more expensive than slab doors but are quicker and easier to install. Prehung doors come in an array of sizes, so there&rsquo;s likely an option to fit any doorway you need.</p></div>

Q: Which side of the hinge goes on the door?

• <div><p>The vast majority of hinges are symmetrical, and either side of the hinge can go on the door or the frame. Occasionally, you'll find a hinge specifically made for right or left-handed doors with different attachment hardware or larger plates on one side. In most cases, the large side of the hinge goes on the frame.</p><p>It is possible to install hinges backward, so be careful when placing them. Position the hinge so that the hinge pin faces the direction the door will swing. For example, if you're standing on the side the door will open into, the pin should be visible. Be extra careful when installing exterior doors, as placing the hinges on the outside for an outward-facing door makes your home much easier to break into.</p></div>

Q: Can sliding doors be installed in non-standard openings?

• <div><p>Yes, pros adjust frames and guide rails to fit unique dimensions.</p></div>
