I appreciate you sharing your experience.
Unfortunately(?) I picked prehung doors to go in (everybody was made aware of the installation environment), so I’ve got-what-I’ve-got at this moment. Unclear if I got suckered or not. I told my vendor what I was dealing with, where I wanted end, a never any flags raised. Getting help is like pulling teeth - this all seems simple enough (though I’m not going to assume there’s nothing to know - I’m no expert) which makes it all the more frustrating.
- jessaustin 5y agoIf the problem is just getting something that will hold in metal studs, I'd go with some nice beefy (say 3/8" diameter? that will seem like overkill to some people) self-tapping metal screws. Set the drag on your drill or impact so it stops before bottoming out, then go the rest of the way carefully so you don't strip out the hole.
- bch 5y agoVery likely I’ll do something like this. Very frustrating to me the “experts” I’m working with can’t satisfy my fear here, but perhaps I’m overthinking it. I’m not too worried about a catastrophic cockup as much as some slight annoyance that I’ll have to live with forever, and then somebody coming out of the woodwork saying “oh, you should have…” ;)
