When it comes to home construction, many parts of a house are easy to overlook, especially when they aren't as front and center as other parts. The doors around your home are entry points to your chamber. So, whether you are planning on replacing your front door or have noticed something wrong with how it's functioning, you must understand the importance of each part of your door. One of the most important parts of a door is often ignored because it's not immediately visible, and that's the door jamb.
