STEP 4:
Square and plumb the latch side of the jamb 
and secure using the same method as step 3. 
Adjust the jamb so that the spacing is uniform 
between the door slab and the jamb (red). 
(See Figure 4.)
STEP 5:
Shim behind each hinge, and tack 
into stud with 4d nails. (See Figures 5.)
STEP 6:
Re-check for square, plumb and even spacing 
around the door. Using 10d nails, secure in place 
by nailing through the stop, jamb, shims and into 
the studs approximately every 12" – 16". Set the 
nails with a nail setter. (See Figures 5 and 6.)
