SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREFABRICATING A FREE STANDING WOODEN SPLIT-JAMB, DOOR AND TRIM ASSEMBLY

摘要

A free standing door jamb and trim system (10) is completely prefabricated prior to shipping and installing the jamb (12) in a doorway. The jamb (12) is securely stabilized in a square orientation by gluing it to a three-sided trim frame (30) with glued mitered square corner joints. The combination of adhesively bonding the square mitered joints of the trim frame (30), and adhesively bonding the trim frame (30) to the front of the door jamb, produces an exceptionally strong door jamb assembly (10) which can independently support a swinging door (50) without attachment to the wall. A system and method for producing a prefabricated free standing wooden door, jamb and trim assembly (10) is provided.
