How to Install Door Casing in 5 Easy Steps

Step 1: Measure the door opening, and decide which type of casing you want to use. There are several different types, including one-piece vertical casings, two-piece vertical casings, flat trim boards, and corner blocks. Consider factors like cost, ease of installation, and aesthetics when making your selection.

Step 2: Cut the casing pieces to size using a miter saw or hand saw. Make sure each piece is exactly the same length so that the door frame will fit properly.

Step 3: Secure the bottom portion of the casing first with finishing nails or screws. Use a level to make sure it’s straight before adding in top portion of the casing. 

Step 4: Install the top portion of the casing and secure it with finishing nails or screws.

Step 5: Fill in any gaps between the door and the molding with paintable caulk. Allow time for it to dry before painting or staining your new door casing. 

Once you’ve completed these steps, you should have a beautiful, professional-looking door trim that enhances your home’s aesthetic. Enjoy!
