Q: Where do you put shims on a door frame?

• <div><p>You put shims between the three-sided frame to which the door hinges are attached and the framing of the rough wall opening. Using shims like this will center your door in the wall opening and allows you to make small adjustments to get your door plumb and level for smooth operation. Your shims and the gap they fill will be covered when you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-trim-doorway.htm">install door trim</a>, so don&rsquo;t worry too much about the appearance.</p></div>

Q: Why would you want an outswing door?

• <div><p>Outswing doors are more popular for exterior doors as they offer more room for moving items in and out of a home. And because the hinges are on the outside of the door, they&rsquo;re more secure against potential break-ins. But, outswing doors are more susceptible to the elements and are more expensive. Comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/inswing-vs-outswing-door.htm">inswing vs. outswing doors</a> depends on your budget, needs, and overall preference.</p></div>

Q: How wide should a door jamb be?

• <div><p>The width of your door jamb should match your wall thickness exactly, so it depends on your wall. For standard door openings, the width is equal to the width of a 2-by-4-inch stud, plus the width of the drywall on both sides&mdash;about 1/2 inch each&mdash;which comes out to 4 9/16 inches. Block walls and framed walls that use 2-by-6-inch framing require a door jamb that&rsquo;s 6 9/16 inches. You should always measure your finished wall thickness to get an accurate width for your door jamb material.</p></div>

Q: What types of interior doors are available for installation?

• <div><p>Solid-core, hollow-core, and panel doors offer options for various needs and budgets.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain door hardware?

• <div><p>Regularly lubricate moving parts, check for loose screws, and clean tracks to prevent debris buildup.</p></div>

"Excellent work. We purchased natural cherry cabinets in shaker style, with the panels made of solid wood rather than veneer. That is more difficult work, as each panel has to be constructed from several planks. Moreover, the clear finish would leave any flaws more visible. Simply put, the doors are beautiful--flawless in both construction and finish. They are similar in quality to custom cherry furniture we own."
