How To Install A Door
Installing doors is almost a trade unto itself, as there are many different types and styles of interior doors. In this article, we will be discussing how to install a pre-hung, interior door, which closes into a jam and against the stop. Make Sure You Have The Right Door You need to have the correct door! Pre-built doors usually come in sizes ranging from 24” (2’-0”) up to 36” (3’-0”), are either right-handed or left-handed and usually come pre-hung on a jam. The measurement of the door is the measurement of the slab, also called a panel, and does not include the jam. So the rough opening (RO) for a 2-8 or (32”) door, will be about 2” wider than the slab, or 34”. This extra space is to accommodate the jam legs and any shims needed (more on shims later). Once you have determined that you have the correct size door for the opening, you need to figure out which way the door will swing. Standing in front of a door, as if to walk through the opening, does the door swing left … [Read more...] about How To Install A Door

Moldings
Moldings come in all shapes, sizes and styles. From base molding and door casing, to chair rail and crown molding, there are even custom moldings that craftsmen will sometimes create on site to match existing trim in old homes. Just like there are many different types of moldings, there are also many ways to cut and install them. A good lesson in cutting moldings is making sure the way you are cutting it, is the way it will be applied. For example, when I cut crown molding it is easiest for me to "nest" it on the saw, in the position it will sit on the wall or cabinet. You can cut complex moldings like crown molding flat on the saw, but it requires a compound miter cut, and if you are shooting for perfection there is a bit of math involved, which for me equates to increased possibility of mistakes and mis-cuts! … [Read more...] about Moldings
