It depends on how much is being replaced. You might get away with just unscrewing the hinges off of the old door and screwing on a new one, or more likely, removing the trim from around the door, unscrewing or removing the nails holding it in place along with the shims, then doing the whole process in reverse to install the new one.


What is the rough opening of a 36 inch door?

Remember 36" is the width of you door slab. If you can measure the door you want to frame in then take the measurement and add 3/4" to it so you can still have room on the side to shim it properly. If you don't have the door but know which one you want, go to the store and the door will normally have the rough opening size on the label.
