Most doors come pre-hung. I just checked the Home Depot site and as far as I can tell they do not sell hinges!
I would bring any decent hand tools. Although they are generally cheap to replace most joiners seems to think Stanley tools are cut above the general quality available in the DIY stores here. Japanese cutting tools are the most prized.

Unless you're running on 110v site tools you'll need to buy new..
Bring all of you're hand tools, if nothing else you're used to using them..

Standard door hinges are 3" and 4" - which, I think you'll find, is what they are in the UK too (although they're called 76mm and 102mm because that's what the guvmint says they shall be called...). All the hardware stores sell them by the bucketload, although it is possible (maybe even usual) to buy doors pre-hung for new build and reno work. Bring your jigs.
Lots of hinges available and you can buy door blanks to replace existing doors without having to buy the whole pre-hung setup. I did this not so long ago to replace the door to my garage.
Rona has hinges. http://www.rona.ca/shop/shop?storeId...eywords=Hinges

Hi, seeing as this is all 'tool' talk, Mr brookel was wondering if British 110v site tools definitely work in Canada and is the round 3-pin site plug the same?
He has heard conflicting opinions about this so is not sure whether to ship or sell (he's a joiner)

Thanks all,I will bring all my good hand tools and give the rest to the brother in law. I took a look at home depot and the power tools are cheaper than here, A top spec Dewalt sliding miter saw in screwfix is £663 and $630 at Home Depot! what a shame I cant bring over power tools I will be forced to go on a shoping spree !!!!!!!!!!:

On a less irritating note (I blame the heat and humidity...) the OP might want to have a drool at some of the specialist joinery tools at Lee Valley. I'm very much an amateur hack of a woodworker, but if I had the basic skills and/or the patience to improve them, I suspect I'd spend a lot of money there!
