- Re: Quick Door Hanger. Some of us do just fine putting one shim in each way with access from only one side. It really isn't rocket science. If the fat side is to fat, cut it down. If the skinny side is to skinny, again, cut it down. If you can't install paired shims from one side, you haven't tried. suppose he thinks those clips replace shims but they are no better than just nailing the casing to hold the door without shims unless he installs them on both sides of the door which he can't do. Our pre-hungs are delivered cased hinge side, the casing is cut for the other side.

- In most cases, you will need to mortise the hinges on the new door. Line up a combination square with the hinge mortise. Mark the top and bottom of the hinge mortise. Mark the other hinge as well. To determine the depth use the existing hinge and mark its depth. Next, mark the lockset location.

Working With Wood Shims You slide each shim towards the other one so the thickness of the two shims increases at the same rate to fill the gap between the door frame and the rough opening. If you just shove one or two shims from the same direction, you'll have a triangle of wood between the door frame and the rough opening.orking With Wood Shims. DEAR TIM: I need to install some doors at my house. I've never done it before. A friend told me to make the rough opening that the door and frame sit in larger than the actual door frame dimensions. This seems odd to me. He also told me I need to use shims to help install the door.

How To Correctly Measure For Replacement Doors Standard height is 79.5 inches. When measuring for entry and interior doors, you’ll need three measurements. Accuracy is very important. Measure the width and height of your old door and round this number up to full inches. As an example, you would round up a measurement of 79.5 inches to 80 inches. Next, measure the jamb width. Measure from the back of the interior trim to the back of the exterior trim. An accurate measurement here means your new pre-hung door will fit flush to the wall without jamb extensions.

HOW TO FIX A DOOR THAT WON'T STAY OPEN OR CLOSED (This will correct for the fact that the door jamb is probably not plumb.) When a door tends to swing slowly open by itself if not latched, you do just the opposite: Move the top hinge leaf out (away from the door stop molding) or move the bottom hinge in. In most cases it is easier to move a hinge leaf outward (as shown in the drawing) rather than trying to move the other hinge inward.

Measure your door carefully and cut the opening to fit.
