How to fit a blank interior door to existing jam
Was wondering how to avoid removing /repositionong existing stops when I'm just doing blank doors and not prehungs. Although the replacements are pretty much standard thickness, I have had to remove and reposition the stops in some cases. I guess It is easier to slightly rotor the butt hinges slightly less or more depth of thickness side of door? This way instead of trying to template exactly the butt hinges.. you can avoid tight stops by offsetting slightly the butt hinges to be cut. I have found over the years that jams settle etc.. It is a good idea to less or shave less than the exact template for door replacements. If there is a step by step trick for this , I'd be grateful to learn! Thank you! John
