He Fells,
I need to install a few replacement doors in the house, the existing jambs are metal and I’m looking for the best technique in removing them and getting the opening ready for the pre-hungs. I’ve been told to cut them out with a sawz-all, as one way to go. I have never tackled a metal frame so would appreciate any tips and possible scenarios I may encounter. I’m looking to get in and out without disturbing any existing paint jobs in the rooms, if you know what I mean. Welcome any ideas, thanks.
