I haven't ever had to build a door frame or add a closet sized door, only add the shelving or alter it when a vent has had to be put through an existing closet. I'm not sure how to build and finish the closet from scratch.

    Doors and frames are really hard unless you are a wood worker. I would ask advice from Home Depot or lowes Before taking on the task. Also you can look on YouTube.com. You can learn almost anything from it.

    You can get a pre-hung door for almost any need. You just have to have the rough opening dimension you want, then the whole door unit, already on hinges and set in frame, gets inserted into that rough opening. You can see what is available at any home store or lumberyard that sells doors.
