Step 7: Hang the door and check the alignment
Hang the door by fitting the hinges together and tapping the pins in place. Now check the alignment. There should be 1/8-inch clearance or reveal all the way around the door. If not, continue to adjust the hinges until the proper clearance is achieved. If the door sags from the top, tighten the top hinge screws. If it is not sitting squarely, use thin cardboard shims or playing cards under the hinge to adjust the fit.
 Hang the new door on its hinges and check for a consistent 1/8-inch reveal all the way around the door.
