Interior door hanging tips part 2

If you are a contractor who is hanging doors on a regular basis or a homeowner who is willing to spare no expense then the Jambmaster door shim setting tool is something you may want to consider. This tool is basically an adjustable metal framework that sets up within the door rough opening that allows the user to preset the door shims quickly and accurately without the door or the jambs being in place. Plumb and square studs are still important but this tool will easily compensate for some variances and stud twisting as long as it is not too drastic. Once the shims are set, it is then a simple matter of fastening the door jambs to the studs and hanging the door. It is easier to watch the video on the Jambmaster website than to try to explain with words exactly how this tool works.

This invention is one of the most novel approaches to door hanging that I have seen in a long time. I have not used the Jamb Master jig as of yet but plan on buying one soon and giving it a try. More interior door hanging tips will be forthcoming.
