It’s not hard to install an interior slab door (as opposed to a pre-hung door). Follow our step-by-step tutorial and learn how to give any room a whole new look. Here is a before and after shot of the room where we’re adding the new door. As you can see, this one simple DIY can make a huge difference. Measure for the new door slab by checking the old door’s width in three places — across the top, middle and bottom of the door. Jot down the widest dimension. Next, measure the door’s  height and thickness. Before removing the old door, remove the knob and any hardware off the old door frame using the appropriate screwdriver or drill and drill bit. To remove the old door, start by backing the screws out of each hinge on the door slab with a screwdriver or drilling and pulling it away from the door frame.

Next, dry fit the new interior slab door in the opening, using shims to hold it in place if needed. 2004 toyota tacoma 4x4 4 door for saleIf the new door doesn’t fit, the old door can be used as a template to indicate where the new door slab should be trimmed. exterior french doors vancouverSimply place the new door on a flat work surface, then place the old door on top of it, making sure to align both doors in the same direction (right side up, opening to same direction, etc.). electronic door lock using arduinoMark the bottom of the old door on the new door with a pencil.kitchen cabinet doors are crooked

Score the line around the hinges with a utility knife, then notch the perimeter and interior of hinge area with a hammer and chisel. Next using the chisel, gradually skim off the notches. Once notching is complete, attach the new hinges to the new door.

Secure the door lockset kit onto the door using the provided screws, then using the hole saw bit, drill into one side, then the other. Next, drill into the side edge of the door to create a hole for the latch. While the door is lying flat, install the latch portion of the new knob by tracing around it, then scoring with a utility knife and chiseling it out using the same method from Step 7, so that the latch lays flush against the door edge. Once the latch is in place, move the new door to its location, add shims to adjust the door’s height and attach the other side of all hinges to the door frame. Hang the door and check the fit. If adjustments are needed, remove the door and sand or trim the door with a planer, as needed, then reinstall the door. If the fit is good, leave the door in place, and move on to finishing the lockset installation. Install the lockset using a Philips screwdriver. Follow the instructions that came with your particular lockset. Install the latch plate into the door frame by lining it up with the latch from the door knob, then scoring/chiseling as we did in Step 10 with the hinges.

If your door features glass, be sure to leave the protective plastic on until you’ve finished painting your door. Allow the paint to dry completely, and you’re done!

MODA Primed White 2-Lite Solid Core Wood Interior Door Slab with Clear Glass PanelDoor slab does not match standard measurements Hello everyone, I am trying to replace a 6 panel slab door in my apartment and the measurements for width and length I have on the existing door are 33 6/8" x 79 7/8". 

I have measured the door a hundred times to make sure I am correct.  The length does not matter much as there is enough space on the bottom of the door opening to fit the remaining 1/8th of an inch.  My big problem comes from the 33 6/8", as this measurement doesn't come even close to the 32" or 36" standard measurement.  What am I supposed to do in this case?  Do I have home depot custom make a door slab to fit these measurements?  Will the cost of a custom made slab increase greatly from a store stock?I also have the measurements from the top of the door to the door knob and the measurements from the top to all three hinge positions, I just don't think its as important as the main measurement at this moment. Any input or help will be greatly appreciated. Not what you were looking for ? Welcome to the community. As you suspected, you will have to special order your door. Often times an architect will specify a specific door for a room to maximize space or access.

If the builder is constructing a large tract of homes, the additional cost of this special size door can be spread over many units. But replacing them one at a time can be expensive. There are several options. You can order a slap door and hang it yourself, or you can order a prehung door and install the entire unit. may be able to modify the opening if is not a load bearing wall, and use aCall your local Home Depot’s Millworks Department. They can give you an estimate on the cost of each of these options. Hello Shenriquez, welcome to our community. I actually work in the door & window department at the Home Depot in the Chicagoland area. I will assume that this door is either from a bathroom or bedroom, and not the exit door that leads to the communal hallway. The doors that we sell are all 80" high, the width will range from 18" wide to 36", and are 1-3/8" thick. It sounds like you need a custom sized door, or door wider than your current, so 34" would be the one.

A 34" door is not a standard size in stock, and if you were purchase a 36" door and attempt to cut it length-wise it would require more work, and cause more headaches, than I would want myself, and I have all tools to do it. So my recommendation to you would be to take all your measurements to your local Home Depot, see the Door & Window specialist, and have them order you a door that will fit perfectly, and it should take between 7-14 days to get it, and yes the door will cost you more, but the time & frustration it takes to cutting & install a slab door isn't worth it unless you were just trimming a 1/4" off. When measuring for the door knob location, the standard measurement is 44" from the top of the door to the center of the hole on the surface not the edge. The mortising of the hinges are measured the same way--from of the top of the door to the top of each hinge, and make sure to include the size of the hinge--are they 3-1/2" or 4", do they have a corner or a radius. All of this info is important when placing the order, and making your install go quickly & smoothly.

Let me know what you decide, or if  you have any other questions. Please post pictures of your project. Actually, a 2/10 (34") hollow core 6-panel door is not as uncommon as some would think.  The distributor that supplies your local Home Depot should have a few of them in stock, so it should not be out of a normal special order lead time (7-10 days) and should not cost you more than ordering a 3/00 (36") door with the same specifications.  You cannot trim a 36" hollow core door down to a 34" door without cutting into the core of the door. For the lockset bore location, it is easier to measure down the edge of the door to the center of the latch.  That way you don't have to guess with a tape measure that is leaning 3"-4" away from the face of the door (avoiding the knob).  40" and 44" from the top to the center are the most common measurements.  The hinges should be measured from the top of the door to the top of each hinge.  There a three radii that are most common for hinges;

square, 1/4" and 5/8".  1/4" looks more like a dime and 5/8" looks more like a quarter. You will also need to tell the store what side of the door the hinges are on.  The most effective way is to close the door and stand on the side of the door where you can see the hinges.  Inside or outside of the room does not matter with interior doors.  Draw a picture of where the hinges are when the door is closed, label which way the door swings open, and take that to the store. Replacing the door is easy.  Simply remove the hinge pins of the existing door to take the door down.  Do not remove the hinge leaf that is on your jamb.  Take the hinge leaf off the existing door and screw them to the new door.  Place the new door in the opening, aligning the hinges, and replace the hinge pins starting from the top. Finally, when painting the door, please make sure you paint/seal all 6 sides; top, bottom, both edges and both faces.  Your door will be sealed from taking on moisture and will not warp, bow or delaminate under normal conditions if you do this.
