Can't remember ... it's been so long. I will be installing a pre-hung
32" wide door in a new wall I plan to build in my basement. How wide
and tall do I frame the opening? This is not a supporting wall. Do I
need to put a header at the top or will a simple verticle and
horizontal 2 x 4 do? Thanks.
Usually the door will have the rough opening dimensions on it when you
buy it. I think the norm is 1 1/2" wider than the door, and 3/4"
taller, but confirm this when you buy it.
