DIFFICULTY RATING: (2 out of 5 - Easy)

Interior doors can become damaged, difficult to operate or old-fashioned compared to the rest of the décor. Replacing an interior door is a one-day project for one or two people.
Step 4: Position the new door and frame into place
The new door has staples that keep the two sides of the casing attached to the frame. Remove all the staples and remove one side of the casing, leaving the door in the frame. Remove the fastener that prevents the door from opening out of the frame. Slide the frame and door into the door opening, starting at the base, tilting the door into place. Once the door frame is in place, open the door and secure it in the open position with some wood shims.
Starting at the base, tilt the door and frame up into place.
