How to fit Spanish pre-finished door casing/lining?

[rrodd]

Hi all
This might seem a simple question with an obvious solution but I'm stumped.

I'm buying a house in Spain and the previous owner has bought internal door 'packs' - prefinished, prehung doors with casings (with stops) but hasn't fitted them.

I've never seen finished casings before and I can't think of a way of fitting them. All the doors I've fitted before have been unfinished so nailing/screwing through the casing into the frame and making good before painting is ok. Obviously I don't want to do that with a finished casing. Even an 18ga nail will be visible.

The stop/slam strip does not appear removable, and there are no fixings in the pack. The finish does not appear to be primer, and the colour goes with the colour scheme.

On the hinge side I could screw through the hinge holes, or put a screw in under the hinge but that still leaves the latch side.

Suggestions?

Door stop on? Fix there then doors stop will cover screw holes.
Or
Maybe they just wedge frame and glue in with foam and polymer grab.
Set door on a outer MDF frame like with fire doors. They come pre finished in a frame.
I was told new houses have doors in frames as well

Hi Wayners
No, the stop is attached and finished, no way to remove it without damage.

Don't know anything about firedoors so don't follow what you say there.

Our new UK house had prehung doors in a pack with casing, handles etc, but they needed painting after installation. If these fires were like that I wouldn't have a problem, but I don't want to spoil the finish because it's really good.
