        "text": "The main difference lies in what's included. A pre-hung door comes as a complete unit: the door slab is already mounted in its frame, pre-bored for hardware, and often includes hinges. This makes installation quicker and easier, especially for new construction or when replacing the entire door frame. A slab door, on the other hand, is just the door itself, without a frame or hardware. Slab doors are suitable for replacing an existing door within an intact frame or for custom installations, requiring more labor to fit and bore for hardware.",
