With the door frame fully installed and secured, it's time for the finishing touches. Install decorative trim pieces around the door frame to cover the shims and rough framing, giving the door a finished look. Attach the trim using a brad nailer or hammer and finishing nails. Finally, install the door hardware, such as the doorknob or handle. The last steps, to be done by the homeowner, include sanding all the wood surfaces lightly, applying primer, filling any nail holes or imperfections with wood filler, and then applying a final coat of paint to match the room's decor.
