Choosing the right interior or exterior door<\/a> starts with understanding the two main types: pre-hung and slab. A pre-hung door comes already mounted on its own frame, complete with hinges and, in many cases, a pre-cut hole for hardware. A slab door, on the other hand, is just the door itself\u2014no frame, hinges, or prep work included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At Nick\u2019s Building Supply<\/a>, we help homeowners, builders, and remodelers choose the ideal door setup for their specific needs, space, and skill level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pre-hung doors are ideal for new construction or major remodels where the door frame is being replaced. Since they include the frame, they offer a fresh start with proper alignment and sealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Benefits include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re upgrading a door in a space where the old frame is warped or outdated, a pre-hung door can save time and ensure a snug, energy-efficient fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Slab doors are often the go-to for interior upgrades or when you want to preserve an existing frame. They allow more customization and are typically less expensive up front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Best used when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep in mind, installing a slab requires more skill\u2014you\u2019ll need to cut hinge and handle placements, which can be tricky without the right tools or experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both pre-hung and slab doors come in a wide range of styles, finishes, and materials.
