Hanging an interior door can be a challenging task because it must be able to latch securely and open and close without binding.

Preparation

Tools that will be needed to hang an interior door include a level, cordless drill, jigsaw and miter saw. The jambs are often longer than necessary, requiring them to be trimmed before hanging. The ideal clearance between the jambs and the floor will usually be between 3/8 and 1/2 inch, depending on whether the floor has carpeting.

Cost Factors

The cost of hanging a door can vary based on a number of factors including the materials selected. A hollow door is covered by a thin veneer of wood on each side and is the least costly option. A door made of solid particleboard is the next step up, and solid wood is the most expensive. The trim and lockset will also add to the final cost of installing a new door. If repairs to the frame or opening are required, expect additional costs.

Working with a Professional

A professional carpenter will be of great assistance when replacing an interior door. The fit needs to be precise since it's one of the few parts of a house that must move regularly. Working with a professional ensures that the door is installed and aligned accurately, and a contractor can complete the project by adding the trim, lockset and applying a finish.
