        "text": "The installation begins by verifying the rough opening dimensions to ensure there is a half-inch to one-inch clearance around the door jamb. The installer checks the floor for level across the opening and trims the jamb bottoms if the concrete slab slopes. Next, the frame is set plumb and square using cedar or composite shims placed behind hinge locations. Once nailed securely to the wall framing, the installer tests the door swing and latch alignment. The final phase involves filling shim gaps with low-expansion insulation, hanging drywall returns if needed, and nailing the finish casing and trim.",
