Aside from the slamming, it appears, since these are prehung doors, that the clamshell was not set flush with the finished wall. Not knowing the thickness of the finished wall puts all the pundits in the back seat. A jamb extension is needed if the clamshell is not adjustable. True, too, one person may have installed the doors and another the trim, so the door installer just missed the plane needed to properly allow the trim to rest flush.


Regardless, it needs attention by the installers, whether you call them trim carpenters or finish carpenters or hacks. If it is a new house, the GC needs to be held accountable.
