Question one might be "is there a better forum for this question?"

Need to understand sequencing of installation of new doors and new
hardwood floor in existing home.

I have an entry way to my home 6' x 6'. It has three walls. In one wll
I have my entry door. One one other wall I have a door to the garage
and one door to a closet. I want to add hardwood floor and all new pre-
hung doors in this area. The current linoleum floor is over cheap and
deteriorating sub floor. I want to remove it and replace the subfloor
then lay engineered 3/8" hardwood and also new prehung doors. The
entry door will come with a built in sill. Not sure about exterior
door to garage and the closet door will be typical interior pre-hung
with no sill.

I am wondering about what sequence of installation. Do I need to
remove the existing entry door, then get the floor in place and then
install the new door so the sill is over the floor.

The closet has carpet and I want to leave it that way and have the HW
stop at the centerline of the door. Should I just install the new
prehung door down to the sub floor first and then undercut it to add
in the hardwood under the front half of the jamb?

I am kind of doing this area first before I try to tackle the main
part of the house and I'll have 7 more new interior bedroom and closet
doors with the HW floor stopping at the center line so I'd like to
have a good process\sequence.

Also if replacing door to grarage it should be fire rated. That is code
where I live. ww
