Installing a door, either exterior or interior, can look like a daunting task. After all, you need to make sure all the measurements are correct, all the hinges are in their right places, the lock and doorknob have been installed and the door is swinging without any problems. Truth be told, DIY door installation may not be as easy as a lot of other home improvement projects such as repairing scratches on your wooden furniture<\/a>, but it is certainly not harder than, let\u2019s say, installing tiles on your bathroom floor<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are in the middle of renovating your home or just want to replace your old door with a new one, we\u2019ve put together an easy-to-follow DIY door installation guide that will make things quite a lot easier for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, before we begin our discussion on how to install a door, let\u2019s first understand the difference between pre-hung doors and slab doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-hung doors essentially include a door and its frame. They are relatively easy to install but can be a little expensive. In addition to that, pre-hung doors are custom-made, so you need to make sure your measurements are absolutely correct because even an inch of measuring error while installing a custom door can cause a huge problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, slab doors are the regular doors that come without their frame, hinges and other hardware. These are slightly less expensive, come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and can be trimmed according to one\u2019s need. To put it simply, these doors are rectangular slabs of wood, PVC or fibreglass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although there are quite a lot of different types of doors<\/a> available in the market, slab doors appear to be much more popular among homeowners in Pakistan, owing to their price and customization options. Therefore, this guide will focus on how to install a slab door all by yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
