The frame
The big box stores have precut pieces for framing in doors or check at Rehab or second hand stores.
this is for an outside door and I have the door (its a custom door) and its just the door no frame around it, I could try and make one but I thought I would ask someone if they have done it already
You would need to frame out the rough door opening for the door allowing room for the door jamb. Home Depot, Lowes, and Menard's carry precut door jambs or you can fabricate your own.
