enables the soffit to rest on the trim where it meets the building. See lower detail.

2x4 Door Frame

If your door opening is out of square, the space around the doors will not
be even. You can remove and re-position the side trim to make allowances
for this. The side trim does not have to be flush with the frame of the door
opening. You can move the trim in or out to make the door spacing equal.
