Make sure you put the proper door with the proper jambs. Check the swing of the door either right hand or left hand. Also make sure the jambs are the proper handing and the proper width for the opening.
Check the length of the head jamb to make sure it is exactly the right length before assembling the jambs. If you do not have an air gun you can hand nail or screw the side jambs to the head jamb using 8d nails, drywall screws or wood screws. Once the jambs are fastened together it is now time to install the hinges. Take the hinge pins out of the hinges so that the 2 halves of each hinge are separated.

If your jamb is perfectly plumb your door should also be perfectly plumb. If you need to make some adjustments simply back off the screws to adjust your shims. Don't cut your shims off until both jambs are secured and fitted exactly the way you want them. After your door is lined up with the jamb exactly the way you want it and all of the jamb screws are installed to hold the jamb in place you can now cut off your shims flush with the wall using a utility knife.

Just buy a Jambmaster. Solid wood doors have long been considered the premium—and only—choice for homes. But as times have changed, innovations have come along that place other doors—hollow-core and solid-core—on an equal playing field with solid wood doors. At first glance, many wood interior passage doors and wood exterior doors do look and feel like they are made entirely of solid wood. It's a clever simulation because, in most cases, these doors use construction methods designed to make them only look like solid wood—while avoiding some of the drawbacks of solid wood doors.
Wood doors used in residential construction come in three types: solid wood, solid core, and hollow core. Solid wood doors are commonly made with a frame-and-panel construction that uses natural wood—whether a softwood like pine or a hardwood like oak or maple. Rarely, if ever, are wood doors made from a solid wood slab.
Exterior doors made from wood typically use solid wood construction for strength and security. With interior doors, however, you have other options. Solid wood doors are percent natural wood, except for the hardware or accessories. Few solid wood doors are single, unified slabs of wood because wood of that size is nearly impossible to obtain and because solid slabs can warp or crack.
Solid wood doors are now built with a frame-and-panel construction. Sound-blockage is good to excellent, depending on wood species. Softwoods like pine are not very sound-proof, but hardwoods such as oak and maple are excellent at blocking sound transmission between rooms.
The classic wood panel door looks and feels like one piece of wood, though it is not. The classic six-panel door has been around for centuries and is constructed of individual panels, mullions, stiles, and rails that hold floating panels. When stained or painted, a wood panel door looks like a solid slab of wood that has been shaped with decorative contours. Attach the top and middle hinges, on their marks. Place the leading inner door on edge, facing back-to-back with the first door.
Align the doors evenly against a square, then put the hinges together. Screw the hinge plates to the leading door. Repeat on the second pair of doors. Fasten the pivot plates the pins that fit into the track and the floor bracket , and the locking arms the hooks that slide along the track to the top and bottom of each set of doors.
The pivot plates go on the tops and bottoms of the jamb—side doors, and the locking arm on the tops of the leading doors. Each kit requires its hardware to be uniquely positioned, so check the diagrams that come with yours for exact measurements and placements. These will tell you, for example, not only how far a pivot plate should be from the door edges around it but also where its pin should be in relation to the door's edges. Adhering to all the given dimensions ensures that no piece goes on backward.
Use a hacksaw to cut the track to length to fit the closet opening. Slide the hanging hardware into the track—the small stops in the center, then around them the track hangers with wheels, and finally the pivot socket on the outside.
Attach the track to the door header with the screws provided. Position the track 1 inch in from the front edge of the header.
This will give you enough room to hide the track with trim without limiting the door action. Tip: Don't tighten the hardware onto the track. It will be easier to hang the doors later if the pieces are loose. Use the measurements supplied by the manufacturer to position the floor bracket next to the door jamb. Hang a plumb bob from the center of the track above the floor bracket to align the pin hole in the bracket front to back. This will ensure that the doors are plumb when installed.
Outline the bracket in pencil to mark its exact location. Solid construction panels are a beautiful solution to the demand for raised, decorative, door inserts.
