How to Remove & Install a Pre-hung Exterior Door

How to Remove & Install a Pre-hung Exterior Door. Exterior door installation can appear difficult but if you follow a few important steps and are a little handy, you can do this project yourself.
Removal of the old door, door trim, door jambs and threshold (sill) is not difficult. Understanding how they are installed will make this step much easier and I will show you how to do it.
Installing a new prehung exterior door can be a challenge if you don't understand the need to keep everything square, level and plumb.
In this video I will show you the tips and tricks I use to install a new pre-hung exterior door and the trim around the door for a clean finished project.
This project involved removal & installation of the door with a brick exterior wall. This instructional video will also apply to installations with other types of exterior siding applications including vinyl siding, Hardie siding, cedar shake siding and others.
Whether it is your front door, storage room door, garage entry door or the back door of your home, you will learn the important steps to take to make your exterior door replacement project a success.

My son bought a townhouse in WV, noticed threshold fallen out and jam rotting. Looks like water has got in and has some rot on floor. How can I find someone with your knowledge and talent in his area? Need someone who can address issues that’s discovered. Wish it was a simple door install… thanks. Excellent job and informative video.

I just had a French door replaced and the threshold was about 2 inches shorter than the old one. The tried to fill it in with mortar AFTER installing the door because there was a big gap between the foundation and brick. I’m so frustrated. He says it’s fine but I don’t agree. It’s my back entry door. I sure wish I had someone like you around. Thanks for the video. It’s taught me a rough lesson. I think they just thought taking advantage of an older woman is ok

Can you come to Iowa? 😂 I have so many repairs. Just watched your abs video, I need that fixed and a door replaced.

Thanks, Great Tips that will help me straighten my way out of plumb side door. You know(?) the door that I need to replace as soon as I get a nod from the accountant. (I can' t wait to take measurements again and get the current price of a replacement. - I found my way here from the washing machine video (I've got an old Kenmore with odd failure too) -> tractor bucket arm repair. And I enjoyed your dinner call for the girls :) just a few reasons I'm a new subscriber to your channel.

When is it time to replace a front entry door? Can applying putty between the wall and door frame work?

Unable to buy an outswing door at Home Depot or Lowe's. Outswing door cost a premium and had to be custom ordered even though a standard size of 36" X 80".

[@stanfordsmith9834]

[@MegaChoo2]

Jam looks rotten on the left side?

[@helpinguonline]
