Hanging a front door and casing

station1
16 years ago

I am going to be installing a Mahogany Door this weekend, with the casing as well. I have a 1950 home with a good amount of dental tooth trim around the outside on the exterior part. What would be the best way to go about this instalation? I have also never installed a full door before. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
