Hanging a door...need some advice
OK, so my wife found a nice solid core door to replace the front door in our house. I've already stained and finished it, hardware is in it. I put it in the door frame and it fits. Just need to mortise the hinges.

I have a couple if questions:

The hinges we bought were 4" Gatehouse brand. They do NOT as far as I can see have the "security pin". But for the life of me, I can't get the damn hinge pins out. I don't have a vise, but I guess I thought just tapping it with a nail upside down would force the hinge pin loose. So, anyone work with brand new hinges before? Do you typically have to beat the shit out of them to get the hinge pins out the first time?

Second, the door we bought is solid core, but it's a 1 3\8 inch thick. The old door is 1 3\4. I realize this will cause some problems with the door stop. My plan is to get some 3\8" stock to build up the stop to compensate. Like I said, the door fits and latches, so I think I'm good there. Is there some kind of wood for this, like at Lowe's, or do I have to go somewhere specialized?

Mostly, I'm worried about the damn hinges. I really don't want to try to muscle this bitch into place and then try to hold it while I screw the hinges into the door or the jamb.

Man, it looked really good in place. All that's left is mortising the hinges and hanging the door. I'll figure out something to fir out the door stop if I have to.

Any thoughts?

Sorry, I have no experience hanging doors, but you can come to me if you need help laying pipe.

The gatehouse has an endcap and pin system. The 'bottom' is a cap, and you need to remove it with vise grips, then you can tap the 'top' pin with a screwdriver or hexwrench through the chase until it breaks the friction press-fitting.

Clamp the vise grips on the exposed head, then tap down for the endcap. Run the hexwrench through the chase and tap up for the pin.

If you'll take the door off and set it on a couple saw horses, put a towel underneath so as to not hurt your finish. Then go to the shop and grab two fishing poles and go fishing you'll think of a solution while you're fishing. Always works for me.

What others have said. You just spent the money on a nice door. Don't be a cheap ass now and spend the little extra to have someone hang it. It shouldn't cost too much.

Do you have to pull on the foreskin to expose the head?

Handy men around my parts charge $150-$250 to hang a door. Convert that to 15 packs of keystone and you're looking at 11 to 19 packs of beer. It's a no brainer to hang it yourself even if its a little crooked and you have to push on it to open it. Plus you got the pride in knowing to put that POS in yourself!

The pride is worth way more than anything else.

Well, if you have a cold beer or two you might be able to convince the handy guy that lives near you to come give you hand hanging it so you don't have to fool with busting the hinges apart.

Wait a minute, if you haven't hung it yet, how do you know it closes and latches?
