Nice looking patch!
+1 to actually hang the door...at least until you have the post tacked. For door gaps 1/8 to 3/16" would be good. Less than 1/8 and the front of the door starts to rub. More than 3/16" starts to look too wide. The key is to get the gap even along any one entire edge. It's not that noticeable if the edges vary slightly between each other. For example, if the lower gap is 3/16", but the front and rear gaps are 1/8", it is not noticeable to the eye. But, if the rear gap starts at 3/16" at the top and ends up 1/8" at the bottom...then the eye really pics that discrepancy out easily.
Keep the pics coming...I like watching others work much more than I like doing it!
