Default Nails for door frame

I know, generally one would use framing nails either by hand or gun, but
what size nails are appropriate for an interior prehung door and frame? This
is a prefabbed 6 panel hung door you buy from Home Depot. Not solid core or
the 6 panel pine door. It's very light. Do you think 15 gauge finish nails
would do the trick?

Thanks


The door assembly you buy will have detailed instructions on
installation with it. The manufacturer's web site will also have these
instructions for downloading. Simply follow the steps outlined with
the tools/materials required and your job will turn out fine. A 6' and
2' level will be very useful for setting plumb. Useful info in TOH
archives also suggest a diagonal storyboard for getting the rough
opening just right. Good luck.
