Cut the latch side 10mm shorter usually overlay flooring is 20mm and carpet adds to about 10

Just put the jamb in plumb and level to start with. Makes it easier to hang the door.

you should laser the height and cut each jamb individually. if the hinge side is level you shouldn't have that problem.

Place the jamb in the opening and check the head with a 600 level. Latch side needs to go up - fine. Hinge side has to go up - pack it under to level

Equal spacers around the door, throw in. Usually jack the hinge side up a 1/4 to adjust. Should be part of your installing a door scenario

I always chuck 2 packers under the hinge side, that way you can pack the latch side up or just drop a packers on the hinge side

When installing doors on finished floors one must cut the latch and hinge jambs first to assure each sit on the floor without gaps

Literally happens to us on every job. Mark the door way with a level and measure to the floor. Adjust the measurements on the latch side.

I never go off the floor, just plumb the sides and level the top. If theres a gap on the bottom of the frame itll be hidden by flooring

Always build cut jamb to suit door handle cutout, latch and hinge side should always be the exact same length, level head with packers

Just put a packer under the hinge side and problem solved, floor covering will cover the gap under the jamb

That’s why you go round with laser and check both sides of the door and write it down
