How Do You Install A Steel Entry Door?
A steel entry door is a smart move for any homeowner. They are durable and can be custom built to the homeowners specs. They are safe enough to install for the first timer and are as elaborate as the homeowner desires. As always, if this is the first time doing this, research the installation and styles of the different doors available. Remove the door from the frame at the hinges by tapping the bottom of the hinge-pin with the hammer and nail set. Set the door aside for now. Set the jamb into the entryway opening in the house. If the product is a split jamb, separate the parts and slip one in the entryway opening in the house. Center the jamb in the opening and place the door shims between the jamb and the studs in the wall. Drive the nail through the pre drilled holes in the jamb, the shim, and into the stud. Secure the jamb in one spot first to hold it in place. Plumb the jamb with the level and secure the jamb by inserting another door shim on the same side of the jamb as in Step 3
