What "hinge prep" means

Hinge prep means we cut the hinge slots into the edge of your door: shallow pockets, one per hinge, so each hinge sits perfectly flush instead of sticking out. Here is one on a finished door:

With the slots pre-cut and the screw holes started, hanging the door is a screwdriver job. Choose No if you plan to cut the slots yourself or your door is already prepped.

Standard or Custom?

Standard puts the hinges at our standard spots, the placement used in almost every home. Pick this if you're not matching an existing frame.

Custom is for hanging your new door on an existing frame: the slots have to line up exactly with the hinges already in that frame, or the door won't hang. Measure on your old door from the top of the door straight down to the top of each hinge, and enter those numbers. Top and bottom are required; add the middle one only if your frame has a third hinge.

For Custom we'll also ask for one photo of one of your hinges before you add to cart. It lets us match the hinge size and corner shape exactly.
