Install pre-hung doors with Bob Vila

In this how-to video, Jim Trottier of RBP Trim is installing eight foot, pre-hung hollow-core doors in the Punta Gorda house. These Cremona model doors have a flared top and come with precut headers, legs, and colonial trim. Trottier shows how he pins the door in place, matching the reveal down both sides. He then checks the door for plumb and switches to a heavy duty nail gun before shooting the door in place. Trottier shims the door from the outside, using precut shims under hinges to maintain the door's stability. Watch this video home improvement tutorial and learn how to install pre-hung doors.
