How Door Jambs Are Installed
To function properly, the jamb must fit the door snugly with approximately 1/8-inch clearance on all sides. Even prehung doors require the jamb to be level and attached to the frame. To do this, professionals start by measuring the door and the rough opening before cutting the lumber. The carpenter then positions the pieces and inserts shims. Once the door jamb is level, the carpenter secures the components to the frame. After that, it's time to add the doorstops and casing trim before filling any nail holes and painting or staining the woodwork.
Factors that Affect the Cost of a Door Jamb Installation
The cost of installing a door jamb varies based on the level of difficulty and the construction method. In older homes, carpenters may have to correct areas that are off plumb. This requires shimming and other corrective actions that could increase labor costs. Some professionals use time saving techniques, such as routing the hinge and latch mortises with a jig, while others prefer traditional hand tools.
Deciding Whether to Hire a Pro
This project requires a high degree of accuracy to ensure that the door swings freely and latches properly. Professionals who have experience taking precise measurements, making accurate cuts and using advanced finishing techniques may achieve superior results. In most cases, hiring a pro is the best way to ensure that the door jamb is properly sized and ready for the next phase of the installation.
