Benefits Of Prehung Doors

When choosing new doors for your home or office, there are a number of factors that you will likely consider. Price and style are usually at the top of your list of priorities. Price and quality are also directly related to one another which is why you most likely will not opt for the cheapest doors if you are looking for something that will last. Another question that people ask themselves is whether or not they should shop for prehung doors. Prehung doors offer a number of benefits and, by understanding these advantages, you will be able to make the best decision to suit your needs.

What are pre-hung doors?

Before considering the benefits, it’s good to start at the beginning by making sure that you understand exactly what a prehung door is. When you order a prehung door, you will receive a door that is already attached to the doorjamb by means of hinges. The door will arrive perfectly intact and there will be no need for any guesswork. Now that you understand what you’re getting for your money, it’s time to discuss the benefits:

Easy installation

Since you will not need to make any adjustments to the hinges, you can be sure that your door will open and close beautifully. This means that all you need to do is install the doorjamb and you’ll be all set! Once the doorjamb is in place, the door will fit perfectly. Other doors (not of the prehung variety) require additional adjustments to ensure that the door is properly fitted to the doorjamb and that is swings freely. Easier installation also means that you save time so this is an added bonus! Installation is so easy that you can do it yourself you will not need to hire a contractor.

Ready to fit

Pre-hung doors arrive ready to install. This is great for builders who are working on new properties as well as anyone taking on a DIY renovation at home. It is important, however, that you measure the doorway accurately before placing your door order. This is to ensure that the door (including the doorjamb) fits properly without forcing you to make any significant adjustments to the doorway. By not having to make any structural adjustments, you can keep any mess to a minimum. Whoever is responsible for the post-renovation clean up will most definitely be grateful for this!

Hardware included

Since your door is prehung, it obviously requires such hardware as hinges. This means that you don’t need to shop around for these accessories and you also won’t need to fit them! Fitting hinges and making sure that they are just right, can be tricky and time-consuming. This is why so many people opt for prehung doors instead.
