Hanging or installing a door isn't as difficult as it may seem. Replacing an existing door is easy if the new door core is the same size. Installing a door in a new par*tition wall is also very easy if you buy a prehung door so you don't have to build the door frame yourself. In fact, you probably can tackle this home improvement project in an hour or two if you have the necessary materials and tools ready.

What You'll Need
Here are the tools you'll want to have on hand to hang an interior door:

* Prehung door
* Level
* Cedar shingle shims
* Hammer
* 16d* finishing nails
* Nail set
* Wood putty
* 10d finishing nails
* Wood sealer

Installing a Prehung Door

Prehung doors are the easiest to install. These doors come already set in a frame, and one side of the frame has been trimmed with molding. Usually, the hardware has been installed, too, making the process even easier.To buy a prehung door, you need to know the size of the rough door opening. There are approximately 3 inches at the side jambs and 11/2 inches at the head jamb for fitting purposes.

Here I'm sharing You all the Step to hang up a door ,
Step 1
Measure the rough opening size where you want to install a new door. You'll need the dimensions horizontally, from stud to stud, and vertically, from the floor to the top of the opening.
Step 2
Purchase a new door. Most residential doors are sold as pre-hung units, meaning that the door is already hung on the frame (see Resources below). This is by far the easiest type of door to install, and leads to the fewest mistakes. You'll want a unit that is around 1 inch smaller than the rough opening you measured, in both length and height.
Step 3
Slide the new unit into the opening, bottom first, making sure the unit is centered within the opening. Also make sure the door is swinging in the desired direction; typically you want a door to open into the room, though with closets, you'll want the door to swing out so there's maximum space inside the closet itself.
Step 4
Use three nails on each jamb to hold the unit in place temporarily. Don't hammer these nails in all the way yet, as you'll probably have to remove them to adjust the door.
Step 5
Examine the spacing along the jambs to make sure it's even. If it's not, place wooden shims between the jambs and the studs to adjust the spacing, and nail the shims into place.
Step 6
Use your level to give the door one final check to ensure it is plumb. Use more shims to get it even if necessary.
Step 7

Nail the unit into place, making sure to countersink the temporary nails you installed previously.
Step 8
Apply blue painter's tape to the frame of your new door and touch up the paint around the frame as necessary. When it dries, remove the tape and install any trim kits that came with the door.
