Experienced carpenters strongly recommend using shim-backed screws (such as specialized wood or trim screws) rather than nails to secure a prehung door frame. Screws provide superior holding power, allow for precise micro-adjustments when plumbing and leveling the jamb, and prevent the frame from shifting over time compared to standard nails.
