Step 3: Determine the hinge locations
There are two ways to determine where the hinges are located on a new door. One way is to measure from the top of the door to the tops of the existing hinges. The second method is to measure from the inside of the door jamb to the tops of the hinges. Subtract 1/8 inch from the measurement to account for the clearance gap between the top of the door and the door jamb. This is the measurement you will use to mark the hinge placement on the door.
