Etymology

pre- +‎ hung

Adjective

prehung (not comparable)

  1. (of a door or window) Delivered to the customer as installation-ready unit, already attached to its frame.
    • 2007 January 25, Craig Kellogg, “Room to Improve”, in New York Times[1]:
      When the prehung steel door was installed, its frame was cemented in place, so there was no way to replace the door, despite the architectural mismatch. Mr. Beauchemin compromised by applying wooden strips along the frame to the top of the transom, to help marry the elements.
