I am going to be hanging a french door. So I sent my sister to the store for a pre-cut door jamb. She said that there were two types. One of them came pre-cut to width with the door stop moulding already applied.
The other was just pre-cut to width without the door stop moulding. This is the one that she brought me. The jamb is made out of several boards finger cut and spliced together.
This is my question: Will this spliced door jamb (the one without the door stop moulding) be strong enough to support a french door. Or is this mainly used for hollow core doors or passageways and closets where a hinged door is not used?
She can't remember if the pre-cut door jambs with the door stop moulding were spliced together as well. Or if they were made of solid wood.
Is it possible that the jambs pre-cut without the door stop moulding and finger joined are used for passageways and the ones that come with the door stop moulding are made of solid wood and primairly for hinged doors?
