Precise techniques make a
perfect fit
It is said that the mark of a good finish
carpenter is the ability to hang a door so "a nickel just fits
between the door and jamb." But even good carpenters often spend too
much time and effort trimming a little here and a little there to
make that nickel fit just right.
Getting a door to hang perfectly doesn't have to be such a
time-consuming struggle, however, Installing and Hanging Doors
offers proven production methods and custom techniques collected
from other finish carpenters and from the author's own trial and
error. Even if you've never hung a door before, Installing and
Hanging Doors can make door hanging easy and enjoyable. And
experienced carpenters will appreciate the depth of information
provided in Installing and Hanging Doors, including:
- choosing a door
- hinges and hardware
- installing door jambs
- installing prefit doors
- hanging doors from scratch
- essentials of weatherstripping
