How to frame an interior wall with a door opening. How to frame a wall that has a doorway in it. Attach them with 16d nails through the top plate and 8d toenails into the header. Cut the header to fit between the king studs.
I have included links for some good nail guns which are inexpensive and make the work much quicker. Nail them into place inside of the king studs. Toenail the cripple stud to the top plate and the side of the header.
You will need to add 1 2 of plywood between the 2x4 s to get the right wall thickness of 3 1 2. Make a header by fitting two 2 x 8s around a 1 2 inch piece of plywood. Make sure the sides of the door opening are plumb.
The infill cripples continue the 16 inch on center spacing of the wall studs regardless of where the door is located. Once that s done make the header of the door by cutting a two by four so it equals the distance between the king studs. Nail it flat to the top of the jack studs.
Install a cripple stud between the header and the top plate halfway between the king studs. Tip the wall into place. Space the infill cripples accordingly.
