Exterior Doors in San Antonio, TX

If you’re looking to replace the exterior doors in your home, then you’ve likely come across slab doors and pre-hung doors and you may be wondering what the difference is between them. The difference is pretty straightforward:

  • A slab door refers only to the door itself.
  • A pre-hung door includes not only the slab but everything else needed for the installation.

Slab Doors

A door slab can be made from a variety of materials and may even feature a pre-cut hole for the doorknob. But the doorknob itself, as well as other hardware, the frame, fasteners, mortises, and surface coatings, are not included.

Pre-Hung Doors

Pre-hung doors are sold as a package that includes the slab, the frame, hinges, mortises, and a hole for the doorknob, but it will not include hardware or surface coatings.

Risks of DIY Door Installations

Both options assume the purchaser knows how to install a door. And while a door replacement may seem like a simple home improvement project, it does pose some challenges that the typical homeowner may not be equipped to overcome. For instance, if the slab door that you purchased doesn’t fit the frame, or if your pre-hung door doesn’t fit the doorway, then you’ll find yourself in a sticky situation that may quickly cost you more money.
