Your interior door questions answered!

​QUESTION: HOW DO I DETERMINE THE HANDING OF A DOOR?

  • Facing the door on the side it swings towards, whatever side of the slab the knob is on determines whether it is a right hand or left hand swinging door.
 
QUESTION: HOW DO I DETERMINE THE ROUGH OPENING FOR A DOOR UNIT?

  • For the height of a rough opening, remove the casing from the inside and measure the distance from the subfloor to the bottom of the header. For the width of a rough opening, remove the casing from the inside and measure the distance from stud to stud.
 
QUESTION: CAN I HAVE NEW DOORS MADE FOR AN EXISTING JAMB?

  • If the door that is being replaced can be delivered to Home Lumber, our doorshop can run a new door to match the specs so it can fit in the existing jamb.
 
QUESTION: CAN I GET A NEW JAMB MADE FOR MY EXISTING SLAB?

  • If the slab is delivered to Home Lumber, our doorshop can build a jamb around the slab to fit the door unit opening.
 
QUESTION: CAN YOU CUSTOMIZE A SLAB TO SPECIFIC SPECS?

  • Depending on the door slab in question, we can cut down the height of a door to nearly any height, but we cannot cut down the width of a door slab.
