Answer 1

You will need a level, square, finishing nails, hammer and shims. If it is a prehung door, the hinges will be included. Put the door in the opening and square it keeping it as level as possible, most openings are not square or plumb so you have to decide where to compensate if necessary. Try to keep it level upright so it will not have a tendency to open or close on its own. Nail at the shim locations and try to keep the relief along the door the same. When it is hung and secure, put your trim around it and caulk the gaps and nail holes. Your done except for paint. Oh, a nailset punch is a good thing to have, they are for nailing the nails below the wood surface or use it instead of hammering the last 1/8" of the nail in.

Answer 2

if it is an outdoor door remember to caulk below the threshold just before you put the door into place....in addition to above post info....
