ABSTRACT:
A door framing spacer apparatus (41, 41a) and method for use with a pre-hung door (21, 21a) to enable installation of the door in a door opening (31). The spacer assembly (41, 41a) is formed for positioning between the door (21) and a door jamb member (27) or the door (21) and another door (21a). The portion of the spacer (41, 41a) between the door (21) and jamb member (27) has a thickness dimension (t) therebetween substantially equal to a desired reveal space (29) to be maintained between the door (21) and jamb (27). The spacer (41, 41a) can include a door portion (46, 46a) which is secured by a fastener (43, 43a) to the door and a jamb portion (47, 47a) which is secured by a fastener (42, 42a) to the jamb. The spacer additionally includes a connecting portion (48) between the door and jamb portions which couples the two together as a unit and in turn couples the door (21) to the jamb assembly (23) to enable manipulation of the assembly during installation. Once the door (21) and jamb assembly (23) are installed, the connecting portion (48) of the spacer (41, 41a) can be severed to release and permit opening of the door and removal of the spacer assemblies.
