Looking for the best way to hang a hollow core pre hung. Should I remove the door from the hinges and set the frame or install the unit as a hole. I won’t be attaching the casements prior to installation because I don’t have an air gun, ( just in case someone suggests that route).Also, what are the proper nails to use on the frame and on the casement? Every article I read suggests a different size nail. An answer to all these questions would greatly be appreciated. And remember, if you only answer in part you won’t get full credit. (ha!) Thanks all. Mick
