Abstract: The disclosure relates to a system and method for replacing an existing door while using the existing door frame structure. The system includes a mounting tool designed to locate a position of a door hinge on an existing door, and indicate a corresponding position for the door hinge on the replacement door without requiring substantial measurements or formation of hinge mortises. An edge mounting strip may be secured to the replacement door to complete the assembly and provide a flush surface with the door hinges along the end of the replacement door.
