Hello,
New to the forum, I don't have a great amount of experience with carpentry, however I can usually turn my hand at most things. Hopefully this works out!!
I am looking at replacing an existing storm / steel door. The Storm door is a pre hung door which has it's own casing.. The steel door was not pre finished with a jamb, rather the door was installed seperate to the jamb..
1st question - So, here is what I need to figure out first. I want to replace the old hardware (Storm / steel door) with a new door entrance system.. If I remove the storm door and the steel door, and remove the existing jamb, I have an width opening of 35 - 15/16" and a height of 80 - 3/8". So my first question is what size door should I ask for, concerning the width and height of a door entrance system?
2nd question - If I measure from the outside of the exterior wall to the finish side of the interior wall, it is approximately 9".. Soo what size jamb should I order for this? Do I need to order a jamb this size? Or do I order say 6 - 1/2 jamb and then fill in the rest of the openeing with a decorative finish wood?
I hope this makes sense to you? Any help will be appreciated.
