Abstract
An apparatus to install a door jamb is disclosed. The apparatus may include a body portion, a first extendable arm and a second extendable arm. The first extendable arm may be disposed at a body portion distal part and the second extendable arm may be disposed at a body portion proximal part. Each of the first extendable arm and the second extendable arm may be configured to slide between a retracted position and an extended position. The apparatus may further include a first angle finding device and a second angle finding device configured to determine angle of the apparatus relative to ground. The first angle finding device may be attached to a first extendable arm distal end, and the second angle finding device may be attached to a second extendable arm proximal end.
