    Customer photo review of Exterior Head Jamb (Primed Poplar)

    It’s difficult to install and straighten a 48” rigid head jamb with a significant bow.

    Customer photo review of Exterior Hinge Jamb Leg (Primed Poplar)

    Door 'fulcrumed' on some boxes inside the door when opening it suddenly. Middle hinge splintered large chunk of leg. Bought the Pease leg, cut for the splice and it worked GREAT. Hinge measurement landed exactly right at 31 inches from top of middle hinge mortise to top of bottom hinge mortise (Pease leg specs). Terrific product and perfect solution! Thank you for selling these. - Jim

    Customer video review of Exterior Hinge Jamb Leg (Primed Poplar)

    Hinges were cut in the wrong location missed top hinge by 1/8 of an inch the middle hinge by 1 1/4 and the bottom by 2 1/2 inches

    Exterior Hinge Jamb Leg (Primed Poplar)

    Store owner replied: Hello Randol, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the hinge locations didn’t align with your existing frame. It looks like you ordered a prepped hinge jamb leg, which is made to our standard hinge spacing, as noted in the product description. Based on the Jeld-Wen hinges shown in your photo, your original spacing differs from our standard, which is why things didn’t line up as expected. In cases like this, a blank jamb leg (without pre-cut hinge mortises) is often the better option, as it allows for custom placement. We’d be happy to help you find the right fit—please reach out to us at info@peasedoors.com, and we’ll work with you to get what you need.

    Great product and exactly what I needed. Shipment was prompt! Now I know where to go for any future door products.
