The Exterior Doors On A House Are Probably The Most Used Doors You Have.

This door has to shut and fit the frame perfectly in order to be of any use.

The fit will ensure the weather strip does it's job correctly.

Making sure the frame is plumb and level also means the door hardware will fit and operate properly.

If the two opening sides are not parallel in and out wise you might have to tweak one or both corners of the frame in or out to get a proper fit of the door.

The video shows peal and stick membrane being used at the door sill. We would also run it up the sides and across the top too. Once the door has the brick mold on we'd put the drip flashing on top and another strip of peel and stick on that flashing and up the wall. We'd also caulk between the brick mold and peel and stick to ensure no water gets in.
