Constructing the Door Header

1. Measure the Door Opening: Determine the width of your door opening and cut
a 2x4 to this length. This will serve as the door header.
2. Determine Door Height and Reveal:
● Decide the height for your door.
● Add an extra ⅞" to this measurement to account for the door reveal: ⅜" at
the top and ½" at the bottom.
3. Mark the Header Height:
● Measure up from the baseboard along one of the inner door frame boards
to your total height measurement (door height + ⅞") and make a mark.
● Repeat on the opposite side.
4. Install the Header:
● Cut a 2x4 to fit between the two marks. This will be your door header.
● Ensure the header is level and adjust as necessary.
● Secure the header at the marked height using 2.5-inch wood screws,
attaching it to the door frame sides.
