Looking for the best way to hang a hollow core pre hung. Should I remove the door from the hinges and set the frame or install the unit as a hole. I won’t be attaching the casements prior to installation because I don’t have an air gun, ( just in case someone suggests that route).Also, what are the proper nails to use on the frame and on the casement? Every article I read suggests a different size nail. An answer to all these questions would greatly be appreciated. And remember, if you only answer in part you won’t get full credit. (ha!) Thanks all. Mick

Easy-to-make tools simplify the framing, while time-tested flashing techniques make it last a lifetime.
