I have two interior doors that need replacing in a rental property. It's a very standard rental built in the 90s. I'm wondering if I can buy prehung doors and simply swap the hinges and knob/latch assembly without swapping the entire frame. They seem to be generic hollow core kind of Home Depot units to me.

Any tips would be appreciated, thanks.

You will not be so lucky---every door company sets their hinges a bit differently.

If you have basic carpentry skills you could chisel in the new hinges and bore the door for the lock and bolt set---

It takes a while to do that job and some money for the lock boring jig and hole saw.

Is it possible to identify the manufacturer of the door and match it with a prehung equivalent? Obviously doing extensive measurements.

It's a whole lot faster and easier to just replace the whole door frame and all.
Even takes a whole lot less tools.

Dear friend,
The idea of just swapping the hinges without swapping the whole frame doesn’t seem to be practical. Having said that , I think getting it replaced with the help of the same company may help you in this matter. Why not go for a total new replacement instead of going for patch works. There are a wide range of replacement options open before you. Clinch the best in the market. Have a look at the door replacement services edmonton, Canglow Windows and Doors Inc. which claims varied door replacement designs and styles. Anticipating a fast solution for your problem.

Not sure what brands of knock downs are available to you.... but I've been hanging and replacing doors and/or slabs for the better part of 20 years and in my experience besides some minor tweaking you can swap any one of them for the other.

I've used mostly fast fit, jeldwen and lynden door. The only real difference is the fast fit's are 1/2" shorter in height than the others because of the joining used for the header and side jamb.

But really if you take some easily identifiable measurements of your doors I'm sure the local hardware store will have something to match.
