Two in one door hanger bracket

A method for securing a pre-hung door having a door, a jamb having first and second spaced sides and a top cross piece, each having front edges aligned in a vertical plane and back edges aligned in a vertical plane and wall opening facing surfaces between said front and back edges, and hinges securing said door to said first side of said jamb, said method comprising;

• securing a plurality of door hanger brackets to said hinged first side jamb of said prehung door assembly;
• each said secured door hanger brackets comprising:
• a flat elongated body having an irregular shape, said elongated body having lateral width with side edges circumscribing said lateral width;
• said elongated body being configured to provide a wall mounting tab at each end, such that said bracket can be secured to a door jamb as a unitary bracket and provide a wall mounting tab on each wall at each side of the jamb, a first of said wall mounting tabs being preformed to extend laterally from said elongated body;
• said elongated body extending away from said preformed first wall mounting tab a for a distance approximately equal to the width of a door iamb, and sufficiently far beyond to provide for fanning a second wall mounting tab;
• said elongated body including at least one bend line extending laterally with respect to the length of said elongated body, whereby said elongated body can be manually bent at said at least one bend line to form said second wall mounting tab to extend laterally from said elongated body for attaching to a wall adjacent a door opening;
• a break line in said elongated body extending partially through the thickness of said elongated body and from one of said side edges to the other, such that said bracket can be broken in two and used separately either on two different door iambs or two different locations on the same side of a single door jamb, or can be located on opposite sides of the same door iamb, where the door jamb is too wide for said unitary bracket;
• said step of securing a plurality of door hanger brackets to said hinged first side iamb of said pre-hung door assembly comprising aligning said preformed wall mounting tab with said front edge of said hinged first side iamb and securing said elongated body to said wall opening facing side of said first, side jamb;
• positioning said pre-hung door assembly with said secured door hanger brackets in a door opening of a wall having first and second wall sides;
• securing said wall mounting tabs of said door hanger brackets to their adjacent first wall side;
• bending said elongated body at said bend line towards said second wall side to form a second wall mounting tab in situ;
• securing said second wall mounting tabs to said second wall side.
