I know I can buy a pre-hung interior door. But how do I install it. I have searched the internet and have not really found any real good help.

U should have a header big enough since it expands to twice size of door then just frame new opening and re rock . U can't just buy slab and hang it in pocket it wouldn't be stiff enough for whatever side u wanted to put in pocket
