Hi! I’m 23 and helping repair my moms apt after an abusive relationship and these videos really help ease the overwhelming feelings! I thought it would be really hard to do, but you make it easy to understand and I can see that it’s something we can totally do! 🥰
Hi, I am a 57yr. young woman. I've waited for my man to fix our door for a year...... I just watched your video and I am going to do it myself!! Thankyou for making such easy to follow instructions. I've fixed my truck, his car, and I thank folks like you who are gracious and share knowledge. Ill let you know how it goes.....here's to women carpenters! Especially us 'mature' gals...who still don't wait for someone to do what needs to be done. Thank you again, Georgia R.
You’re the ONLY video I could find out of dozens that actually gave details and didn’t skip steps on how to do this for someone that doesn’t already know 😄 thanks!
Thanks for the video. My door has been broken for over a year, but it still worked, so i didn't bother. I got it fixed in an afternoon after wathcing your video and now it is a good as new.
I'm a single gal and these videos have saved me so much money! I have dry-walled, tiled my kitchen backsplash, removed a door frame to add a barn door, replaced baseboard, and now want to replace the outside old casing on another door so this video helped a lot. Thank you!
You are awesome faith. This is the kind of comment that I am looking for and it blesses the channel so much. Building confidence in people is the whole point and you are beaming girl. Thank you so much for sharing
Hiya Dustin!! It looks like you have a fan base of female DIYers. I just subscribed. It is very rare a week goes by where I don't complete some traditional man job. Facts are, it is too expensive to pay for this work, so as my dad used to say, "has to can do." Last week I set a toilet and this week put in the first of three ceiling fans with a weird switch back wiring set up that gave me the heebe-jeebies. Today I'm installing the hinge side of a door jam that was kicked in. I've been collecting measurements and pieces to finish for a few months now. Thanks to you and other TH-cam helpers, this kind of thing can be done by this 58 year old home mender. You are very appreciated and it was good to see that the nail gun will hold pressure without being connected to the compressor when I go over to the house for these pieces; yay. I'm making a parts list from your video. Today is the day for this door repair... wish me luck!
You are awesome Nora. Thank you so much yes I love my Lady home Menders, they are awesome and deserve our respect. I love to hear the comments that are beaming with confidence and the personal victory that they get is irreplaceable, well obviously you know… Thank you so much for sharing this
Thanks Dustin! First video I came across in my youtube search, first one I clicked on, plain, simple, I didnt need to look any further. Replaced the jam in my sons room using the same exact steps. Thanks again.
47 single female here! seemingly so hard to get a handyman out to my house to fix mine. a zumba friend told me i can do it myself. watching this makes me think i can too. i just don' t have that tool you used to make the hole. so i might invest in one (new homeowner) or borrow one from someone. i'll rewatch to see the name of the tool! thank you...i'll come back here to comment if i succeed.
@@homemend I found your video more beneficial then all the other videos that I watched on TH-cam. Keep up the good work and may God Bless you on your journey
Man, I am so glad I found this video. Very easy to follow instructions helped me fix my broken door jamb in no time. Thanks Dustin! You've earned yourself a subscriber!
Great video - no faffing about, just right to the point and walking it through easy. Thanks! Just what I needed after discovering a busted interior jam in our new house. Subbed 👍
I’m so greatful for this video. I locked my guest room with my car keys inside and my two dogs 😬. I tried everything to open the door and well brute force was the only way. Fortunately your video made this a simple fix.
@@homemend as an update, I did my buddies front door today. This exact same fix step by step. And it worked perfectly. Two packs shims, leg board, stop mold, screws, nails and spade bit. And weather stripes, 100 bucks. And a six pack. 4 hrs with shopping and a good time. Thank you. His estimate was a whole fromt door replacement at 4500 bucks. We were gentle during demo and checked levels and door shutting, every step. And this video walked us thru it. Thank you.
I did it🎉 thanks to your video. Not perfect, but close, and it's a functional door now. So proud of myself. I would not have done it without guidance.😊 We have been looking at that hot mess for years. Thank you 👍
This is such a great comment. Thank you so much for sharing. I’m glad you are happy with your product! Check out my new product complete home repair e-book! The best tool in your toolbox thehomemenders.com/e-course/
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! You saved me a ton of $$$ & headaches with this video. Previous owner butchered a bathroom door, "helpful neighbor" (who happens to be a gen contractor) says "entire door frame needs replacing". I followed your video, bought a primered jam leg from big box hardware and installed it. Thank you again!!!
My wife and I bought a house that used to be a rental property and we're slowly fixing everything that the landlord let go or fixed in really cheap and crappy ways. We don't have a ton of money on hand to pay for other people to come in and do home repairs, and your channel has been really helpful, this video especially. This is one of those projects that's been really daunting for me since it seems so easy to mess up, and having you walk through it so clearly has eased a ton of my anxiety about it. Thank you!
thehomemenders.com/courses/#home-owner This comment is definitely getting the heart. Thank you for sharing this. Confidence is everything. You have got to check out the ecourse and you are most welcome.
Cool, my door was push in by the fire department today but I was able to fix it with screws fasting the frame all back together, just need touch up paint & caulking would work. This video will come handy if I need it in the future. Thx
Great video, although it would have been interesting to see how to replace weather stripping as well since many household use them now as well and learning to replace em would greatly help.
Hey hey, that’s a different video. This is an interior door jamb. There are two Weatherstripping videos on this channel depending on your style. One will help!
Thank you so much you made that work look easy so I got the same problem I'll do the same should turn out fine now that I've watched this thank you again
Hi Dustin, The firemen were called to a smoke alarm in an apartment and broke the lock side of the door like in your video(s). The tenants hired some "journeyman" from their work. They repaired it by cutting off 4 feet by 3 inches of the jamb and replaced it with a piece of 5/8" plywood? The job doesn't look very professional. I can't secure properly a jimmy deadbolt sideways with screws in through the plies! Your videos show how to do it right, permanently. Thanks for taking the time and effort to make excellent educational videos.
I definitely am a li more confident after seeing this video. Thanks for the confidence booster. I am looking to replace the door jamb completely on my shed, and this video really gave good pointers. Thank you Home Mender!
I’m 25 and I’m having to fix a door jam because I broke it thanks for helping I might well become a carpenter because I love breaking shit in apartments
I really liked this video. I wish you had camera where you were making the cuts so one could see where to.cut. I have same thing and need to replace but never done it
Dustin...Another fabulous job!! My last project the past 2 days in Virginia was replacing hinge side exterior door jam w brick molding & storm door..It was several damage...I had to special order for local lumber yard. BIG box stores did not have..Keep up the good work Dustin!! See your next video on the other side of the country..
Thank you joyful! The hinge side is a little tougher. After re-creating the jamb you would need to trace the hinges and router them out. If it’s not damaged you may consider a split jam door. I hope this helps
Hey Pete yes sir this one went well. I like that Home Depot has now been selling one by fives. We used to have to rip down a one by six to get an interior jamb.
Thank you for the video! I'll definitely reference this next time I have to replace a door jamb (which may not be too long, but it's on the hinge side of the door)
Thanks for the vids. I started a home repair company and I always watch short videos for pointers. I've got 15 years of experience and you know your sh1t. Thanks for the casing trick for cutting. Just saw you had a mailbox video and I was gonna get a sono-tube and everything. Your right though, take some concrete, throw it in the hole and be done with it.
Is there a jamb-side template for routing hinges and the striker thingy? I know they have them to use on the door slabs so. I assume there is one for jambs…right?
Hey Anthony doors vary on hinge spacing and hinge size. Usually when it’s into the hinge side, I will replace the whole door jam just because it produces a better product and trying to replace the inside is labor-intensive. I hope this helps
I have a width of 5-1/4 but the closest I can find is 6 inch board. All the pre-hung and replacement jams are 4-1/2 now. It’s an early 70’s home. What do you suggest
Great question RB. If I’m understanding it correctly, you need a 5 1/4 inch width? When you buy a one by six it’s not actually 6 inches wide, it’s three-quarter inches thick by 5 1/4 inches wide. Hope this helps.
Hey Brian, not really understanding the question… That was miniature crown molding called bedmould. A little fancier than trying to trim and ceiling out in casing…
Hey! I tell people to charge what they are happy making. It’s always more money when you are fast I would say you could get 200 just for labor easy. I hope this helps
th-cam.com/video/FdxGyEtCRs0/w-d-xo.html Never a silly question!Hi Leslie yes ma’am check out the channel there’s a few videos on caulking. Any painters caulk would do. They are about $1.50 per tube.
After you scored the edge lines for the strike plate did you then chisel out the thickness of the plate so it sits flush with the jamb? Seems that would be insanely hard to get correct.
Hey Rick yes sir you can just trace the catch on there and then you just chisel out the thickness of the catch So it fits flush right in there. You got this
I have to keep my door locked to keep my son out of my room. I locked the keys in and had to destroy the jamb strip which now has dried wood glue on it. How would you recommend I get the glue off and just sand down and put a new strip on? What tools will get that glue off? Where can I get the right size jamb strip for the door? Thanks so much.
Hey Katie. I would just use a painters tool, scraper to get the glue off sanded down and then put a new “stop” on Home Depot sells a few different styles, if you have trouble just take a piece down and match it up. Also if you can’t find any jamb material a one by five will also work. You got this
Awesome job Dustin ! You said your nail gun was 400 but I bet it will pay for itself. Better to buy good tools than junk and junk in the long run is much more costly than a good tool. Awesome video!
Thank you Steven, paslode has always been my favorite and yes for everything it’s 400 in the store. I recently found this one on marketplace. A guy was selling it for $150, it looked brand new. A guy bought it for a trim job at his house did the job and then it’s been sitting in his garage for 17 years LOL it needed a little maintenance but after I dropped it off at the shop he did what he needed to do in oiled it up and it is now good as new.Oh and it definitely pays for itself quickly. Thanks for commenting.
Hey Dustin, Do you have an exterior door version of this? I can't say that my door was kicked in, but man, the door jam/catch is a mess and it's for the front door! More than likely I'm going to take this approach unless there is something different.
I learned 2 things today. Door handle baby proofing should go on the outside of the door not the inside 😂 then with this video I learned how to replace the piece of door jam I broke in order to get my 1.5 yesr old out of my room because my silly goose self put the door handle baby proofing contraption on the inside of the door and he locked himself in and my windows were locked so I had no choice but to bust in the door 😂 thanks for the very informative video 🙂 😀 😅
Hi! I’m 23 and helping repair my moms apt after an abusive relationship and these videos really help ease the overwhelming feelings! I thought it would be really hard to do, but you make it easy to understand and I can see that it’s something we can totally do! 🥰

Damn...had no idea there were so many different pieces. Off to work I go!
You got this Jean. Thanks for sharing
After you scored the edge lines for the strike plate did you then chisel out the thickness of the plate so it sits flush with the jamb? Seems that would be insanely hard to get correct.
Hey Rick yes sir you can just trace the catch on there and then you just chisel out the thickness of the catch So it fits flush right in there. You got this
Thank You
Thank UG
Good 👍 job
Thank you wain!!
I have to keep my door locked to keep my son out of my room. I locked the keys in and had to destroy the jamb strip which now has dried wood glue on it. How would you recommend I get the glue off and just sand down and put a new strip on? What tools will get that glue off? Where can I get the right size jamb strip for the door? Thanks so much.
Hey Katie. I would just use a painters tool, scraper to get the glue off sanded down and then put a new “stop” on Home Depot sells a few different styles, if you have trouble just take a piece down and match it up. Also if you can’t find any jamb material a one by five will also work. You got this
Does this work for mobile homes as well. I need to fix my front door
Hey a L. I don’t have a lot of experience with mobile homes but replacing a jamb leg should work the same. I hope this helps.
Awesome job Dustin ! You said your nail gun was 400 but I bet it will pay for itself. Better to buy good tools than junk and junk in the long run is much more costly than a good tool. Awesome video!
Thank you Steven, paslode has always been my favorite and yes for everything it’s 400 in the store. I recently found this one on marketplace. A guy was selling it for $150, it looked brand new. A guy bought it for a trim job at his house did the job and then it’s been sitting in his garage for 17 years LOL it needed a little maintenance but after I dropped it off at the shop he did what he needed to do in oiled it up and it is now good as new.Oh and it definitely pays for itself quickly. Thanks for commenting.
@@homemend well how about that
Is caulk only needed because it's the bathroom, or would you use it in a bedroom too?
Hey OK. The caulk is to fill the crack between molding before painting. Yes use the caulk outside the bathroom also. Great question!
@@homemend Oh I see. Thank you for clarifying that. 👍
Is this much different if there is carpet on the floor? Or same steps? Thanks!
Hi Tiffany Same steps!you can ignore the carpet all together :-) but you might want to vacuum it afterwards 😀
Hi what tool can i use besides the nail gun you’re a using ?
Just an old hammer and nails. But if you’re going to be doing projects, Linda get you a little nail gun. You got this.
Hey Dustin,
Do you have an exterior door version of this?
I can't say that my door was kicked in, but man, the door jam/catch is a mess and it's for the front door! More than likely I'm going to take this approach unless there is something different.
Hey Travis. Yes sir got you right here

Is the jamb always a seperate piece from the casing?
Hey b. For the most part yes the jamb is always separate from the casing. I hope this helps
I learned 2 things today. Door handle baby proofing should go on the outside of the door not the inside 😂 then with this video I learned how to replace the piece of door jam I broke in order to get my 1.5 yesr old out of my room because my silly goose self put the door handle baby proofing contraption on the inside of the door and he locked himself in and my windows were locked so I had no choice but to bust in the door 😂 thanks for the very informative video 🙂 😀 😅
That is awesome Kelsey. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks
Thank you bk!
