A rabbet is a carved-out groove in a piece of wood. Some older door jambs were a solid piece of wood, carved out for the door, leaving a ridge for a door stop. Most newer doors just tack on a door stop. By the diagrams it's hard to tell which way Provia does this. Anyway, rabbet to rabbet is the width of the door jamb where the door sits. NOT between the door stops.
Very clear and helpful presentation. For those complainers, it is a complicated topic.
Thanks Todd!
The door sizing chart page is no longer on the Provia website. :(
We're door sizing chart
I don't believe he mentioned how to measure if the opening is out of square. Maybe I missed it. I think it's a bit *too* simplified.
wtf is a rabbit?

You are too complicated.
Spoken by a true craftsman.
He pretty much one of those guys that try to justify why he going to charge $5000 to hang a door smh.
You are too grumpy, he did a decent job. It's not rocket science, if you can't follow along ask for help...
this was not instructional.
