What to Know About the Slab Door Installation Process

Feb 14, 2023 Leave a message

Slab doors present a real do-it-yourself challenge.  Yes, you paid less for the slab door than you would with its pre-hung counterpart, but now you’re tasked with installing the hinges in an exact and precise manner, cutting the hole for the doorknob, and whatever else this blank slate of a door may demand of you for its installation.

Paneled slab doors will be divided into sections—horizontal rails and vertical stiles—usually composed of wood for the most basic of slab doors, but for a fancier twist, these rails and stiles can be glass or other materials.

Flush doors are slab doors that are unfinished without paneling, meaning you’ll have to stain and paint them yourself.  Again, it’s really the ultimate DIY project, a completely blank design waiting for you to literally fill it all in, punch in the holes, and install the door from start to finish.  You can get slab doors that swing or doors that will be installed on a track-and-runner system, like for a pantry or closet.  In reality, it’s up to you on how you decide to hang and install your slab door.

Save Money and Spend Time Installing Slab Doors

Although you avoid spending the big bucks by purchasing a slab door, a door that down to its bones, is just the rectangular door material, you’re going to end up spending what you saved in the time spent in the meticulous process of installing the hardware yourself, hanging it, and if necessary, finishing the slab by staining or painting.
