Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor until finely ground, or seal them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until you have 2 cups of fine crumbs. Stir together the crumbs, 3 tbsp sugar, and salt in a medium bowl, then pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened and hold together when pressed.
