pre-hung
Door already framed
Pre-hung describes a door sold already mounted in its frame, with hinges attached and ready to install as a single unit.
A pre-hung door saves the work of fitting a door to a frame: We bought pre-hung interior doors for the renovation.
The alternative is a slab door, which requires separate framing and hardware.
