00:00:00.590 --> 00:00:03.120
Want to add some style
and spruce up the inside

2
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:04.150
of your home?

3
00:00:04.150 --> 00:00:06.420
Well, the owners of this
kitchen are doing just

4
00:00:06.420 --> 00:00:08.460
that by giving
a quick and easy makeover

5
00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:09.980
to their interior doors.

6
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:13.780
Today, Dan and I,
we're going to show you

7
00:00:13.780 --> 00:00:16.150
how to install a pre-hung
interior door.

8
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:18.110
Before you get started,
you're going to want

9
00:00:18.110 --> 00:00:19.610
to gather the necessary
tools.

10
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:21.260
Here's what you're going
to need.

11
00:00:29.070 --> 00:00:29.920
Today we're going to show
you

12
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:31.420
the basic installation.

13
00:00:31.490 --> 00:00:32.840
You'll find more
detailed instructions

14
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:34.340
included with your door.

15
00:00:34.470 --> 00:00:35.340
Ready when you are.

16
00:00:35.340 --> 00:00:35.830
I am.

17
00:00:35.830 --> 00:00:37.330
Let's get to it.

18
00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:41.840
First, inspect the door
to make sure it fits into

19
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:42.980
the opening.

20
00:00:42.980 --> 00:00:45.180
Measure the width
and height of the casing

21
00:00:45.180 --> 00:00:46.680
to make sure it fits.

22
00:00:48.060 --> 00:00:49.900
We're almost ready to move
the door into place,

23
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:51.710
but first we
need to remove any

24
00:00:51.710 --> 00:00:53.740
packaging material
that holds the door

25
00:00:53.740 --> 00:00:55.240
closed.

26
00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:04.790
Now we
insert temporary shims

27
00:01:04.790 --> 00:01:06.290
to keep the door in place.

28
00:01:07.940 --> 00:01:09.100
And make
sure the hinge side

29
00:01:09.100 --> 00:01:10.600
of the door
is level and plumb.

30
00:01:11.340 --> 00:01:13.090
We use shims
nailed through the jamb

31
00:01:13.090 --> 00:01:15.690
and stop about two inches
from the top and bottom to

32
00:01:15.780 --> 00:01:18.070
temporarily keep the door
in place.

33
00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:20.260
Once again, we check that
the door

34
00:01:20.260 --> 00:01:22.280
is level and that there's
even spacing

35
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:23.720
around the door.

36
00:01:23.720 --> 00:01:25.680
Now we nail the door
securely in place,

37
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.580
going through the stop,
jamb, and shims,

38
00:01:28.580 --> 00:01:31.040
and into the studs
every 12 inches or so.

39
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:33.720
Carefully
replace the trim.

40
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:38.340
Install the door hardware,
per the manufacturer's

41
00:01:38.340 --> 00:01:40.560
instructions,
and then come back

42
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.850
through with a little wood
filler and paint to do

43
00:01:42.850 --> 00:01:44.290
your touch-ups.

44
00:01:44.290 --> 00:01:45.260
At this point,
if you had

45
00:01:45.260 --> 00:01:47.010
a pre-finished door,
you're done,

46
00:01:47.300 --> 00:01:50.030
but if you ordered a door
that came raw or primed,

47
00:01:50.030 --> 00:01:51.950
you're going to want
to finish it quickly

48
00:01:51.990 --> 00:01:53.840
as specified
in the instructions.

49
00:01:54.190 --> 00:01:56.890
Failure to finish all six
sides of the door,

50
00:01:56.890 --> 00:01:59.260
as specified,
could void your warranty.
