Description
For experienced carpenters only!
I have a new, custom, exterior slab door (i.e. not pre-hung) that needs to be installed in an existing door frame.
This work involves:
> remove the existing door from the frame
> remove the existing weather stripping
> install the new door using existing hinges
> re-install the former hardware on the new door (doorknob and deadbolt)
> install doorjamb reenforcement plates and strike plates for doorknob and deadbolt (new mortises locations - I'll fill and paint the old ones)
> install new weather stripping - make sure the weatherproofing is tight (this door faces north)
