Installing Door Trim Kit

    Our Standard Kit comes with Fluted Casing and two Corner Blocks. The Premium kit comes with two additional Plinth Blocks to give the frame a solid base look.
    Each kit is easy to install and requires no miter-cuts.

Materials you’ll need

Materials you’ll need
  • Door Trim Kit (in this project we used the Standard kit)
  • Contractor’s adhesive
  • Paintable caulking
  • Finishing nails

Getting started

Getting started
  • The door trim comes prefinished and ready to use. If you choose to paint the trim, apply the first coat of paint before installation.
  • Start at the corners. Use finishing nails or contractor’s adhesive to install the corner blocks, ensuring that they are square with the door opening.

Measure

Measure
  • Measure and cut the short piece of Fluted Casing to fit firmly between the corner blocks across the top.
  • Measure and cut the vertical pieces of Fluted Casing. If you have existing baseboard moulding, you’ll need to trim off a section to allow the Fluted Casing to go all the way down to the floor.

Installation

Installation
  • Install the Casing with finishing nails.
