It is said that the mark of a good finish carpenter is the ability to hang a door so "a nickel just fits between the door and jamb." But even good carpenters often spend too much time and effort trimming a little here and a little there to make that nickel fit just right.

Getting a door to hang perfectly doesn't have to be such a time-consuming struggle, however. The Doorhanger's Handbook offers proven production methods and custom techniques collected from other finish carpenters and from the author's own trial and error. Even if you've never hung a door before, The Doorhanger's Handbook can make door hanging easy and enjoyable. And experienced carpenters will appreciate the depth of information provided in The Doorhanger's Handbook, including:

Choosing a door
Hinges and hardware
Installing jambs
Installing prefit doors
Hanging doors from scratch
Essentials of weatherstripping

This is an essential reference for carpenters who hang doors every week or once a year, and it's perfect for beginners who want to learn the right way from the start. Good carpentry depends on simple techniques, each performed in a precise order. And The Doorhanger's Handbook follows that order, describing in clear, easy-to-follow language and photographs the step-by-step process of hanging doors and installing hardware.
