How to Install a Slab Door

- In this how-to, I guide you in how to hang a slab door.
Often times, I am installing a door already in a door jamb. Meaning I’m removing the old door and door jamb, and installing an entirely new unit.
Sometimes, I cannot do that, as in this case. The home was built in 1925, and at the time they did things differently. For example, these days a door jamb has a 2x6 inside frame, however 2x6 today is not what it was in 1925. In 1925 it was a “true” 2x6, these days the actual dimensions of a 2x6 is actually 1 1/2" x 5 1/2".
All that to say, the door jamb in this home was unique and we would be unable to buy a door jamb of the same size today.
In my consultation with this customer, I spoke of two options; I could custom make a new door jamb (expensive) or we could just install a new slab (less expensive than even buying a door and door jamb together).
They opted for the second option, and in the video below, you can see the process I went through to install this slab door within the existing, 1925 door jamb.
If you’re more DIY-oriented, I highly encourage you to give this a try.
If you aren’t, you can of course have me come out and install it for you. Schedule an appointment, and let’s talk!

Man still holding on with those 18v!
A little trick to fix those holes. Stuff them full of toothpicks or shims trim them off even with the plate and drive some new screws into it.
Great tip! I have drilled out the screw holes bigger and glued in hardwood dowels. Works good if you have the time and the weather for it.😊
Thank you!!! This was very helpful
this guy definitely lifts weights, he looks JACKED!
Great job. I will be trying this in a few weeks. I may have some questions.
Just use longer screws.
@10.37 you can see it wanting to bind b/c it was closer to the door stops.
Wash hinges in acetone. Please!
I'm installing a metal steel exterior door without being pretty hung do I need to how do I put the slide the slots for the hinge
Are you still servicing Dallas?
How bout some new hinges there squeaky pants.
i did the same..i dont know how, one hinge ended up 1/8 off...LOL
I don't think that door was closing.. seems like it was binding.
Just use router man. Painful. With router, you can also easily mortise to slightly different depth to compensate for hinge slop.
