Attaching an exterior door into brick/concrete?
Hi,
Just removed an old exterior door - probably in in place since the 1950s. I was hoping to find a wood stud to nail the new jam, etc. into, but it's a combo of brick & concrete (see picture).
Best way to attach? Tapcon? I think I can get my hands on a .22 nailer as well.
Thanks!

Securing the jamb to the interior stud might be all you can do. Shims and door and window foam will do the rest. Use a good polyurethane sealant on the exterior.
