        "text": "A pre-hung door frame is a complete unit that includes the door slab, the frame, hinges, and often the threshold, all pre-assembled. This makes installation generally quicker and simpler as the door is already fitted to its frame. A slab door frame, in contrast, refers only to the door itself, without a frame or hinges. When using a slab door, the frame must be purchased or constructed separately, and the door needs to be mortised for hinges and drilled for hardware on-site. Pre-hung units are typically preferred for new installations or when replacing both the door and frame, while slab doors are often used to replace a door within an existing, well-maintained frame.",
