If so, here are some of the steps that you may need to know.

Removal of Existing Molding

If the existing door frame is being replaced, it will be removed with a crowbar. The installers will remove the top moldings and then remove the middle and bottom moldings. This process continues until the entire door frame comes off. The hinges are also removed, and then the metal frame is drilled. During this process, the condition of the floor is assessed. The installers also check the width and height of the door's frame, hinge size, strike type, and the closure mounting.

Unpacking and Preparing the Door

The installers will unpack your new door, and it's a good idea to check to ensure that you have the right door. If it's the one you ordered, the installation can continue. The installers will then check to see if the door and the frame are of the correct measurements. They will then put the new door into the opening where it will be installed. Once in place, the hinges will be drilled onto the door and the frame. Now it will be time to move to the actual door installation.

Installation of the Door

With the frame and hinges in place, the installers can now move to the actual door installation. The door is aligned with the opening by standing it up. To support the weight of the door, the installers can use wooden wedges. It's common for installers to start with the top hinge and then move to the middle and bottom hinges. Once all that has been done, the support is removed, and it will be time to check if it swings freely. The final touches include installing the lockset, closer, or any other auxiliary hardware.
