Replace paneling..doors set to shallow

18 years ago

I'm replacing paneling with drywall. The doors were set to be the correct depth for the 1/4" paneling. When I replace with 1/2" drywall and go to trim out the doors I'll run into a problem.

The one option I came up with is cutting a rabbet in the back of the trim where the new drywall is too "proud".

Any other thoughts?

Thanks

1/4" stock to build up the trim on the casing side.

You need jamb extensions, which just means an additional piece of wood ripped and tacked on to extend the jambs so they are flush with the new wall surface. This is just what hendricus is talking about, but the term 'jamb extensions' might help you find pictures.

The wood door and windows...I think I'm going to replace, so 2/3 of the problem solved.

I forgot to mention....
One of the doors is a vinyl slider. It's a shame the people that had the slider installed LOVED that paneling so much. Do I make the jamb extensions up and then glue/nail them to the trim pieces prior to cutting?
