A simple idea
that streamlined building A door can be hung in 10 minutes thanks to the Fit-Easy Door Company’s split-jamb pre-hung door system.
The Fit-Easy Door Co was established more than 20 years ago by entrepreneur Ron Paul, who was looking for an idea to give him an edge in the building industry. Ron designed the Fit Easy Door split-jamb pre-hung door system in 1989, after realising there had to be an easier way to hang doors and to get a niche in the market. A builder by trade, his split-jamb system quickly revolutionised the building industry and slashed the amount of time required to hang a door. With the Fit Easy Door system, each door can be hung in less than 10 minutes, making the system ideal for use in every scenario. Doors for an entire house can be hung in a morning.
Contemporary product range Fit-Easy Door’s range of moulded panel doors is second to none. Door faces feature embossed wood grain designs pre-primed for the perfect finishing paint job, at a fraction the cost of joinery doors, these are also done in a smooth finish. Wood veneers offer natural variations and a unique pattern that will contrast or blend in perfectly with their surroundings.
Ron says V-groove doors are particularly popular at the moment. V-groove doors have a tongue and groove appearance with vertical grooves running down the doors. Over-height doors are also in high demand and the company also undertakes exterior doors and shutters.

The Fit-Easy Door Company’s splitjamb pre-hung door system offers many benefits, including:
• The door is the last item to be installed, meaning less prone to damage
STEP 2
The Fit Easy Door system saves labour costs for the builder and the end user, who spends less on architrave packers and cutting expenses.
