What the job involves
A door is hung to the frame, not to the numbers. The frame is checked for square first, then the door is planed to leave an even gap: roughly 2mm at the sides and top, and enough at the bottom to clear the floor covering that is going down, which is why flooring and doors should be discussed together. Hinges are recessed so the leaf sits flush, and the latch and strike are set so the door closes with one push rather than a shove.
