Very informative. I had no idea that this was so simple. 👍

Great video! But you might want to explain "the reveal". Newbie diyers don't know what that means. Thank you!

[@lowes]

Good suggestion! For those who are curious, a door reveal, is the gap between the door edge and the door frame. One of its main functions is to create a seal to keep out drafts and external elements. This seal should be snug enough to be effective but not overly tight to hinder door operation.
