MegaSack DRAW - 6pm Christmas Eve - LIVE on our YouTube Channel
I need to build an internal stud wall set of rooms - the problem is I hate the faff of hanging and messing with doors.
My googlefoo is lacking this afternoon - surely someone in this day and age does a pre assembled/complete/doorset/drop in pre hung door with hinges and latch thats ready to go in a stud wall???? Finished appearance isnt important.
there are these available at B&Q;

Not sure if anyone has used them? or has any other ideas?
we call them pre-hung doors this side of the pond.
Available in our big box stores for either 2x4 or 2x6 framing. allows for 1/2 drywall too allowing door trim to be installed flush.
I've just finished fitting eight frames and doors in a loft conversion, a ball ache of the highest order, a laser level makes things a bit easier.
Are the pre hung frames the correct width? as i had to rip down my frames to 120mm to fit the studding as this is not a standard width.
my googlefoo is returning post hangover;
have found Premdoor Speedset plus
just need to figure the ordering codes and get a quote.

Hearing the phrase 'stud wall' just makes me think 'glory hole'...
Bet your internet history is educational 😛

(How do you end up at 120mm, anyway?)
Pre-hung door sets are not really commonly available for the UK DIY market. They tend to be specially ordered for large developments and the like.
Edit: You might be able to find someone who can order you these, I think they are made to order though so might have a large minimum quantity.
ask the local builders merchant or joiners shop to hang a standard door into a lining for you?
we used to do this to save time on site when doing overnight shopfitting.
and a 6ft level makes fitting linings easy. but using lasers means you can charge more 🙂
