Be aware of light switches being obstructed, furniture, etc. Stand on the inside of the room Place stiles in door opening with the hinge knuckle facing you. Mark the top of stiles to ensure you know which side is the top for cutting. Measure from the top of the hinge plate (not the hinge knuckles).

You may want to trim the bottom of jamb to allow for different floor coverings.

After packing nail the closing stile and head to the stud.

This includes the cost of buying and collecting any materials, dumping any waste if necessary and any incidental materials they will need. The minimum price will usually be for a half day)How Much Does it Cost To Hang a Door?Job 1You’ve got the door, hinges, lock and handle, you just want him to turn up and hang it.Simple, he will charge half a day:Price: £75.00 Job 2If you want the 3 hall doors hanging, it will take him a day:Price £150.00Job 3Seven new interior doors, (off the hallway and landing), with no glass, all to be left for painting by you.
Each will have a short catch and handle. He will collect the doors and tip the old ones. You will have bought all the furniture and hinges. His main concern will be where to do all the planing down to make them fit. The best/cleanest place is outside the front door but this means a lot of coming and going (possibly 3 times for each door) and four of them are upstairs. He may have to keep covering his tools every time he comes inside (rain and/or villains). All this takes time, so does cleaning up the shavings, which might be all over the street by 5 o’clock.(See…. you never thought of any of this did you)?This will take one man 3 days. Then he must tip the old doors, call it 3.5 days7 Doors £450, Furniture £125, Tipping £30, Labour £560:Price: £1165.00Job 4You want the hardwood “Grange over Sands” front door, with three little panes of glass at the top (alas, all of them “bullseye”), these come with the door. It is to have a “Yale” with a puller, a morticed deadlock, a letterbox with integral knocker, an internal chain and three good quality hinges.
The joiner will give it the first coat of varnish all round before he goes. You will apply the other 2 coats yourself (yeh right)! You will be buying everything except the putty. He will collect the new door and tip the old one.It will take him a day to do everything, but he will have to collect the door the night before and go to the tip the next day so 1.5 days at £150.00 per day.Door £150, Furniture and varnish £100, Putty and tipping £25,Labour £225 £500.00 (Now re read the first paragraph)!Job 5Your front door is sticking at the bottom so it needs to come off to be shaved then returned. He will charge half a day, that’s… £80.00Sounds like a lot, but you pay your solicitor that much just for greeting you and showing you to his office!
