What they say

Hide

If you have plaster or irregular walls, you can get these split jambs. The jamb adjusts so you can match the width of your casing. Then you nail it here, it keeps it from moving, and you can finish off your casing. They usually don't carry them in stores, but if you have a project coming up, it might be worth ordering them.
