    Yes. The door is typically 2-2 1/4" smaller then the rough opening. You will have to route or chisel the hinge space. Doors will be available as a slab door or pre bored. Get the prebored unless you have the door lock jig.

    If you have the doors, you will need a 2 1/4'' bit for the door set and either a 7/8 or 1'' bit for the latch.

    If you don't have the doors get prehung and prebored. Easier to put in.

    Rough opening has to be 2'' larger then door size.

    Have shim shingles on hand for the sides of the jamb where you nail. Studs are usually set a bit wider than the setup door in case the studs aren't exactly plumb.
