Figure 2: Rough Opening Dimensions
- Cut the Jambs: Cut the door jambs to the required length 'L' using a miter saw. The formula for 'L' is H + 7/8" + Y, where H is door leaf height and Y is the gap between the door leaf and the floor. Refer to Video 1 (1:42-2:01).
- Drill and Mill Latch/Strike Plate Seats: Prepare the door slab for the latch and strike plate by drilling and milling the necessary seats. Refer to Video 1 (2:01-2:23).
- Mark and Drill Hinges on Door Leaf: Mark the positions for the hinges on the door leaf. The top hinge should be 7-7/8 inches from the top of the door leaf (measure to the top of the hinge barrel). The bottom hinge should be 7-7/8 inches from the bottom of the door leaf (measure to the bottom of the hinge barrel). Drill the holes according to the markings. Refer to Video 1 (2:23-3:28).
