I love that it is explained WHY you do what you do. It helps me know the reasons behind it so that way I don't make a big mistake and end up having to redo something. Other people do the steps but won't tell why you do things a certain way. In a world full of multiple ways of doing things it pays to know why a certain thing is done to avoid issues of doing it another way.

Watching Tom work is like watching a seasoned pilot land a B747 with rain and a low overcast, or watching a mechanic remove and replace a hard to reach starter. It's their day job. They do it so often that it truly does become routine. For us DIYers - it's much more difficult. Partly because we may not have the ability to get all of the tools and jigs used. They can end up costing as much or more as the replacement door slab itself. I am replacing a kitchen to garage door right now. I'll get it done and I'll correct what I mess up as I go along. Good luck and best wishes to all DIYers.

@binkyxz3

The knob, cylinder, and striker should all lie on the same horizontal line. Since the old striker is already there, simply close the newly hung door and mark where the center of the striker meets it. The boring fixtures you saw him use will do the rest. The pocket on the striker is much wider than the cylinder; allowing for this fit-up and settling in the house.

I imagine it'd be preferred to get a prehung door if there's damage to the original frame (sagging from the house/foundation settling over the years, etc.), or if you want to change the size of the door altogether. The door I need to replace is an awkward 34" wide, not the standard 32 or 36, so I'll probably get a 36" prehung set instead of trying to find another 34" door. This'll be my first attempt at door replacement though, so I could be entirely wrong haha

Does this method seriously work as easily as shown? My concern is that if one hinge placement on the new door is 1/32" out, the hinge halves won't come together cleanly. It's pretty hard to get that kind of precision with pencil marks. Then how do you fix that? You can't move a screw hole over 1/32".

This is Goody, To line up the hinge placements from the jamb to the door, place your tape measure at the top inside of the jamb agenst the header measure down to the top of each hinge , then on your door hook your tape to the top of the door with a nickel under the tape end, measure down from the top of the door and mark the measurements on the door the nickel will give you your head margin . To get the right spot on the door so your door is not pinch the door stop measure the little piece of wood on the door where the hinge was on the old door should be around 3/16 to 1/4 of an inch take one of old hinges line it up on the measurements from the top of the door and the mark on the stop side of the door and trace out the hinge. Chisel out the Hinge placements and screw on the hinges.

shim the door into place off the floor, so it has an even good reveal at the top and 2 sides. Depending on the opening and size of door, how wonky/out of square and level the opening is, this may involve cutting and/or planing the door. A power planer often comes in handy. Other times though it is pretty strait forward and the new blank fits in well, shim it where everything looks good, and use a pencil to mark where the hinges are. You can also measure for the hinges and hang the door and make any adjustments with planing etc after.. just remember to subtract an 8th or so from your measurements so the door has some room between the top of door and frame.
