Step 2: How to install pre-hung interior French doors Remove the head and inside jambs which are usually nailed together to help with ease of removal. Next, slide the pre-hung French doors into the rough opening, making sure the jambs are flush with the wall. Note: Make sure you check to ensure the doors open in the desired location without an obstruction.
Keep slipping shims under the side jambs until the head jamb is level. Before you finish nailing all the nails, check the door to see if it opens and closes appropriately. Use some 6 finishing nails to drive through the trim and into the studs behind the wall. Next, trim any exposed shims, and finally cut and install trim for the other side of the doors.

Next, choose a door jamb stock from the moulding aisle of your local hardware store. French doors make use of two doors that open opposite each other to create a spacious walkway.
The doors latch together, instead of to a door frame, by virtue of their respective handles. The active handle moves the latch when turned, while the opposite handle acts as a dummy handle.
The locking mechanism is also housed on the side with the active handle. Determine which side will be your active handle and locate the lock cylinder pin.
This is a long, flat metal extension from the key hole that passes through the door to the other side. Turn it clockwise for an active handle on the left or counterclockwise if your active handle will be on the right. Bore the necessary holes into each door. If removing old doorknobs, the existing holes may be sufficient. If not, take the hole-boring template included with your new knobs and position it where they will go.
Use drill bits and hole saws that match the size of the template holes, then bore them out. You will typically need a larger hole to accommodate the knob, a smaller hole for the lock mechanism and two holes through the active door's edge for the latch and lock mechanisms. Insert the actuator slot into the locking mechanism hole on the active side. The actuator slot is a circular insert with a small slot in its center to receive the lock cylinder pin, and it connects to the locking bolt.
Insert the lock bolt through the hole in the door edge and connect it to the actuator. Your specific handle design may require that you position the bolt before the actuator. Refer to your manufacturer's instructions if you are unsure of the order of assembly.
Put the assembled face plate into position on the door, sliding the lock cylinder pin through the actuator slot in the vertical position as you press the plate into place.
When in place, the lock cylinder pin protrudes on the other side.
