How to Hang a New Door in an OLD OPENING | Whole House Interior Door Slab Replacement

In this video we replace 30+ old interior doors with new interior door slabs. I show you the process of matching a new door slab to an old door. We then cover how to mortise hinges on the new door slab. This is a great way to update the look of a house without tearing out all the existing door jambs and trim. A new painted door slab can really update the look of a home when replacing old, outdated stain colors. There will be a couple of follow up videos on how to bore the holes for the lockset as well as mortise in the latch plate. See my "Doors" playlist for more how to content on door hanging.
