Prehungdoors.info is your information source for prehung doors on the internet. When purchasing a prehung door one should understand not only what the term prehung means, but also what a prehung door unit package should consist of. An assembled prehung door unit is a door unit package that is factory built with frame (jamb), applied door stop, hinges, beveling, bore, and backset, all completed, assembled, and ready to be installed as a single unit.

The Anatomy Of A Prehung Door- unit consists of several components, some are actual physical parts and others are actions performed on those parts. Following is a list of prehang terms and their definitions:

Door Jamb- The frame around the door. Two vertical pieces held together by a head jamb forming the inside lining of a door opening. What your door is hinged to. The jamb size needed relates directly to the thickness of the wall.

Door Stop- A door stop is the small piece of wood, usually 1 3/8″ - 1 1/2″ wide, that is attached to the door jambs on both sides and on top of the door. This strip of wood is where the door comes to rest when it is closed. It stops the door from moving any further, and also covers the gap that would otherwise appear between the door and the jambs.

Hinges- Hardware used for hanging doors, the plates and pins used to attach the door panel to the frame (jamb), allows the door to swing inward or out.

Bevel- Two surfaces meeting at an angle different from 90 degrees. Having the slant of a bevel; “a bevel edge”. Normal bevels on doors range from three to five degrees. The bevel allows the door to close easier and yet still be closer to the jamb, allowing for a tighter fit.

Bore- Bore is the diameter of the hole drilled in a door for a knob, lever or deadbolt. Standard bore is normally 2 1/8″ for most deadbolts & door knobs or levers.

Backset- The term backset is used to explain the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the hole drilled for your knob, lever or deadbolt. Standard backset for interior doors is 2 3/8” or 2 ¾”, although 2 3/8” is more common and used on our doors.

There is a protocol to the questions that will need answered prior to purchasing or ordering a prehung door unit. We have listed a few below.

* Keep in mind that most custom door companies do not finish (paint or stain) their products. Instead they are prepped, sanded, and sent to you for finishing. There are two main reasons for this. EPA regulations are such that a small fortune would need to be spent for shop setup and material disposal. The other being, suppose you ordered several doors, asked for a light brown stained finish, and upon receiving them you discovered that you did not like the color! With a little study,experimentation, and work you should have no problem staining your doors to a beautiful finish.
