Thank you!

I am in the midst of ordering a brand-new entrance front door. Using your valuable guide, my door jamb width is 4ins. No doubt there are a range of measurements, depending.

YES!! Thank you...right to the point and so grateful you were very clear :)

Right

Got a great deal on a prehung exterior door for our new home but the jamb is wider than our opening. What’s the best way to shorten the width of a door jamb from 7-1/2 to 6-9/16?

Thank you
