A door machine for preparing a door for hanging by automatically sizing, drilling the lock and latch holes, and forming the face plate mortise in an edge of the door. The apparatus includes a support frame to which are mounted motor-driven elements, controlled to operate in a predetermined sequence, that size (i.e., cut to a specific transverse dimension) the door and form the lock bore, latch hole, and the face plate mortise in or proximate a free edge of the door. A power-feed mechanism is included for transporting the door from an input station to a drill station. Hydraulic power is used to drive certain elements of the apparatus, including the drills used to form the lock bore and the latch hole.
