That is why you don&#8217;t want to sink these initial nails.<\/p>\n<p>If the door works smoothly then sink these nails and add 2 more nails to each side. You should also ensure that you have 3 nails across the top.<\/p>\n<p>Next using either spun fiberglass insulation or foam insulation insert the insulation between the door jamb and the jack studs of the door frame. Again, the insulation will prevent air infiltration.<\/p>\n<p>Once this is done, you can install the hardware (door knob and lock mechanism).<\/p>\n<p>Finally, install the interior door trim and your job is complete.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000; font-size: large;\">For information on how to install interior door trim<\/span><\/strong>, see the &#8220;<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/ebooks\/installing-interior-door-trim-ebook\/\">Installing Interior Door Trim<\/a><\/strong><\/span>&#8221; eBook from HomeAdditionPlus.com.\u00a0 The &#8220;Installing Interior Door Trim&#8221; eBook provides step-by-step instructions on how to install interior door trim.
