BY HAROLD SMITH

Framing an outside house wall
for an entrance door requires
some precautions that amateur
builders and remodelers some
times omit to their regret. One
thing not clearly understood is
that there is an important differ
ence between jambs for outside
and inside doors.
An inside door jamb usually
consists of two stiles or upright
members, grooved near the top
to receive the header rail or cross
member, all three being COM
monty of l inch lumber actually
only "a inch thick. Separate
stop molding strips are attached
for the door to butt against.
A typical outside door jamb
has the same three members,
but usually of Pinch lumber
(actually ia inches thick, the
adherence being that one edge
OF each member is rabbeted to
form an integral stop for the
entrance door.
Matches Door Thickness
This rabbet customarily is
about Il inch deep and IA
inches wide. the width COIN
Gliding with the thickness of out
side doors.
Inside doors may or may not
be cut through bearing walls,
but outside doors almost always
go through walls that bear the
weight Of the roof or upstairs
partition and thus require REIN

door. can form q butt Junction
with the siding or other exterior
finish wall covering.
! Outside door jambs can be
purchased ready made. or can
be made from clear. straight
grained pine lumber with the
aid of a bench saw or jointer-
planer. The door recess could
conceivably be cut with a hand
rabbeting plane. but this is quite
laborious.
Exterior trim boards for out
side doors should have an actual
thickness of 1ls inches, SO that
the storm or screen door (ot
the same thickness) will fit flush
into the recess they form. On
Iexteriors. the cap trim .(hori-
zontal trim member) extends
across the ends of the upright
trim boards. On the room side,
the casing or trim can be applied
the same way, or the side and
top trim boards can be Joined
with Is degree miters.
In framing for a doorway,
you'll avoid trouble if you make
sure that the Studding stubs
above the doorway preserve the
l6-1nch center-to-center spacing
of the rest of the wall studs.

Door-Jomb Differences
Are Explained Here

lforcement of the opening for
which studding must be cut
away.
Such reinforcement is provided
by placing double studs on each
side Of the rough door opening.
One stud on each side runs full
length from the bottom wall
plate to the top one. The COM
Ipanion studs are cut short
enough to hold the ends of the
door frame header spanning the
distance between two full length
studs.
This header may be either
of 2 by as laid fiat or stood on
edge, or, for greater load bear
ing strength. of two 2 by IS
stood on edge. as shown in the
accompanying sketch.
Leave Space to Plumb
The rough door opening should
be wide enough and tall enough
to receive the door and its jamb,
with about a half inch to spare
on each side. The extra space
makes it possible to plumb the
door jamb perfectly, even if the
framework through the studding
is considerably off plumb. Wood
wedges or shirns are used be-
tween the jambs and the studs
to which they are nailed.
The width of the three mem
bers OF an outside door jamb
should be just enough to reach
from the rooms finished wall
surface to the outer surface of
