However, the entire process is actually pretty easy and straightforward. Knockety makes the installation process easy for both beginners and professionals. Here are a few tips to help you get your new door installed.

Properly Measuring

Before installation takes place, measuring is incredibly important. In order for your door to work properly, you want to take an exact and detailed measurement of where your new door will live. Measure the exact dimensions of your old or current door. You will want to measure the door's width, height, and depth. You'll want to round up to the nearest inch.

When ordering a pre-hung door, there are some additional measurements you should take as well. These are:

• The jamb width
• The exterior opening
• The rough opening

• Make sure the door sill is perfectly level
