With the rails and stiles of the door frame clamped in place, it's time to connect the frame members. This is best accomplished by diagonally "toenailing" a few long screws through the frame members as shown in the image on this page. Some 3-inch screws that are pre-drilled and countersunk work best to hold the members tight and keep the frame members from splitting, but one could possibly get away with angling some long framing nailers with a framing nailer.
Once all four corners have been toenailed, remove the clamps and double-check the unit for square.
