Summary: Learn how to hang a door, hang an external door and hang an internal door.
The type of hinge you buy will depend on whether you want the door to open the normal 90º (use a butt hinge) or 180º so the door lies flat against the wall (a parliament hinge). If you have thick carpet or tiles, a rising butt hinge will raise the door as it opens so it does not catch on the floor. Two hinges will be sufficient for most doors but heavy hardwood or metal doors may need three hinges to support them.
Cut slits in the wood and chisel out the marked area to the correct depth.
Mark the position of the hinge on the doorframe and cut out a recess to allow the hinge to sit flush with the surface.
