I pre drill the jambs and use screws (not fully threaded) and packers or wedges. Horns cut flush, tight to the frame on the hinge side, and use the laser to plumb the jambs, with the corners braced square and the jambs braced in two places. Works a treat. When in comes to the doors, if you hold the door shut against the corner of the jamb, trace up up with a sharp pencil, and then cut on the off-side of that mark with your circ saw, you’ll have a 2 mm gap (width or ‘kerf’ of your blade). One pass with the electric planer to neaten it up and make it a 2.5mm gap, take the arris off and a quick sand, and Robert’s your mother’s brother 👍

I put a few wedges in and use one or two bracing pieces at Middle and Bottom then squirt expanding foam . Job done!

Good idea, i consider myself pretty quick so i don't know if it would save me any time as such but it definitely looks easier and im all up for an easier life! When i pre drill my linings i mark them as 100mm down and 700mm down and 100 up 700 up if that makes sense, so the only thing I would do differently is tack in 4 nails rather than 3 roughly where the screws go so it doesn't pull the lining in. I do like using plastic packers though as it makes your linings solid. Great tip, im gonna give it a go though just to see 👍

Would the nails not compress in when you screw the linings to the studwork? Would a screw not be a better option than the nail?

Hi mate , it’s a compromise screws would be a bit more fiddly and no compression if you need it , i normally use a ring shank which holds pretty well when screwed up against , but I can compress the frame if I need too

Good tip mate use a similar idea with screw on skirting boards where the lazy arse plasterers don't go low enough. Stops the bottom of skirting being pulled in 👍

Great tip! Do you screw the linings all up afterwards to the stud work going in from the lining? Or do you just use the Arc's as a mean to pin the linings and the stud work ? Thanks again! Will be using this.
