How to hang a door in 10 Minutes

- I have a full height hinge jig that I am using to hang doors, Hanging doors now has become easier and using modern tools and techniques can speed up the process and avoid mistakes, especially useful if like many doors now they are pre finished, painted or polished
Let me know in the comments if you are interested in getting your hands on one of my new long hing jigs!!!

Used to be 2p but with the cost of inflation it’s a pound now Robin unfortunately 😂😂
😂😂
That’s also why a 69 is now a 96 😂
Hang a door in ten minutes in a Victorian house do a video on that plz.
Robin where are you buying linings that are sized exactly correct for no shooting in of door? Every lining I've ever bought only gives 3mm over the door size and not the 6mm that's needed
Exactly what I was thinking, currently linings are the worst I’ve ever seen, the twist and bend let alone the quality of machining. At least from Howdens anyway.
Hi Robin. Let me start by saying i find all your videos very informative. Your channel is the no 1 go to before i take on a project. Now... Im doing a reno for my daughter,and my next task is hanging 6 expensive doors. Looking at your vids hopefully will give me the confidence. I have it all in my head i will succeed, wish me luck i can transfer it to my hands. Keep the great videos coming. Thanks Again
Robin, thankyou so much for all these superbly informative videos. I learned my trade as a carpenter in an era where explanation and information where hard to extract from mentors on site. It's so refreshing to see someone take the time to explain, take the time to set things up, have excellent tools and efficient processes. I've always felt this is the way the industry should be as the norm, however its generally the exception. I'm finding all your videos so useful and inspirational and so many times I've thought- 'ah, I wish I knew that 20 years ago!!!' Wonderful channel and service, so thanks again and please keep sharing and helping the next generation of carpenter. I would also love to buy the long jig. Cheers!
Interesting your comment about "explanation and information were hard to extract on site". That can be a common problem in many trades unfortunately and is very frustrating.
My aluminium Trend one works on rebated casings, and with architraves in-situ, too. This soft MDF one is for linings only, by the look of it and will not work with Archi's on.
I,v got one of those buggers, bloody godsend. I always take the leading edge off as well, both sides. made guide for my power plane with a very slight angle works a treat.
Hi Robin, been using a jig very similar at our college for a few years now. We still teach the old way with just a chisel but employers want us to teach the way modern chippy's on site work where time is money. Very pleased someone as high profile as yourself endorse a quicker and easier method. I also agree about those soft screws that come with the hinges which are not the best. I am from an era when 'Nettlefolds' screws were the norm and not hardened or twin grip and would easily snap especially if using brass ones, so always pulled my screws across a piece of candle wax to assist with putting them in, also using a 'Yankee' screwdriver, those were the days.
I've still got my dads Yankee! I still use it from time to time it's a great screwdriver! 👍🏻
@@kadzo1000 I still have my own pair of Yankees. That's how old I am...🤔
My dad was a joiner on the Liverpool Liver building fitting the fie doors back in the 50s always had 2 pennies in his toolbox 😊
Good to see you back robin, genius ! What more can I say⭐ there’s nobody like you ! Thanks for teaching us and sharing your skills. 🙏
Fantastic job Robin and a pleasure it was following on spraying all the woodwork!!!
Nice to hear mention of a firmer chisel. I haven't seen or heard of them for decades, even when I mention them to professionals - except my own from mid 1970s. Still got and use them.
Great video. Can't believe how many doors, especially fire doors I have seen that have been hung with excessive margins. A true time-served/ joiner/carpenter would understand the importance and passion of getting margins correct, especially on fire doors. Even on new builds, the margins on doors are ridiculous, supposedly to NHBC standards, which is absolute nonsense and simply highlights poor workmanship and even worse site supervision. Robin, great to see you promoting easy ways to undertake these jobs. Gone are the days of chiseling out for the hinge, but also relies upon tradesmen now having all the modern power tools.
Hi Robin, just love watching your videos. Cleanliness of work practice and your natural passion to do things as exact as possible. As a former jig and tool draughtsman I applaud your use of tooling to make the job as productive as possible i.e spending time on set up which is easily pulled back on the production and results in a better quality job. Well done !! .... Spike
Hard to beat the trend Skeleton jig. With doors into existing frames I just make my own hinge jig using the table saw, gets it pretty accurate.
They’re so useful when all in one 🙌🏼
Super work! Testament to putting in the linings plum and level.
Great job Robin, another great demonstration on hanging a door 😊
Ooh, love that pilot bit with the center finder.
axminster tools sell them there not cheap but well worth it
Wonderful invention, Robin. Will buy one shortly.
Very impressive stuff. As a chippy myself I would of loved these jigs back in my time .I had the old saw horse with a notch out for the door to stay upright while chopping the butts in.
What a great bit of kit and a really informative video.
Make it make it make it its so easy to set up and accurate with using 2/3 individuals takes longer and not spot on They are just PERFECT
Great work as always Robin keep the great videos coming 👍👍
Great channel Robin thank you so much for doing these vids for us all . What a great resource for young chippies learning their trade
Happy to help
I can't help but look at door gaps wherever I go and it's amazing how few "fire" doors comply with the 3mm!
Jigs speed the process up big time and the accuracy is vastly improved a heads up though we rout the hinges on the liner on the bench before installing it makes the job even easier
I recall Norm using a big metal adjustable contraption for a hinge jig way way back in the day, this looks much more usable
Great advice as usual.
Absolute perfet jig can't wait to get my one Robin ❤
True inspiration
robin had to do it 1 horse power router just with guide am glad you launched the jig great bit kit
Bleedin hell, thats some view outside mate. Lovely.
Full size jig is a fantastic idea
Best wood butcher on utube😃
I am interested in the long jig. Looks great
Remember putting the screws in with a yankee
Superb that Robin
I'll be more then happy to get this when you release it.
Great video from a pro. I mean, it took me 3 hours to do the same thing but I consider that a win. I'm expecting my second door will come in around 2 hours 15 minutes now that I'm an expert 👍
Amazingly informative! Thanks Rob.
As its a fire door, would you be doing a video of the intumescent strips going in the frame or have they already been rebated? Cheers
Great video
Hi Robin, I've followed you since the covid lockdown. Can't say enough good things about you. You deserve all the success that is slowly building up. Kind regards, David.
Thank you David!!
Always, always prefer the look of slot head screws in hinges...and all lined up too ! Love this jig. When i eventually do my self build might well invest...unless i get pre-hung doors .
Are you from the 1930s?
@@scottmason8529 Nope, just prefer the look of slots in doors.Happy with crossheads elsewhere, but as it happens i mainly use TStar /Torxhead screws.
Get the New Jig Made! 100% buy one.. keep it up and keep making RC jigs
Looks like a good product. I’ve got used to using my router free hand finishing with my chisel. I guess this leaves less chance of F ups.
I still like to use hammer and chisel - with experience and practice you get quick. But I love your gig and video - nice one!
What a great video Robin! Really useful information as we'll be doing this soon!
Your audio only comes out of the left ear when listening, please may you try put it in both on the next video?
Thanks so much for the constant useful information.
Sounds fine to me.
@@TerryTerryTerry Listening with headphones and it only comes out of left.
So neat
yeah I started making my own jigs after seeing this a. year back
It's a cool jig I like the idea of the hinge holes being the same size as a the hinge so no need for a guide bush! The only negative id say is it only works on 4 inch hinges so if your doing a whole house of lightweight doors so smaller hinges you have to have another jig to suit those size hinges? Where as with like a trend jig it's adjustable to suit all size hinges and the 2 piece trend hinge jig obviously comes apart so much easier to transport! I guess if your doing a site where all doors are fire doors then it's great for that
class vid robin. been using that small jig i bought of you for a while now. its getting a touch rough now so may well need a new one.
that long jig is a class idea although its obviously set up solely for standard imperial doors. im not entirely sure but up here in the north east theres quite a lot of doors which are 2032mm in height and 813mm in width so 80 x 32 inch. think its fairly unique to this part of the world though. not every door from howdens for example is available in those sizes. so obviously that would be a different size jig again.
still id buy one if i was given the chance like
I only ever get to fit new doors to old linings. 😡 square peg round hole.😂
Amazing work Rob 👍 ,i am interested in the long jig so I'll put an order in the soon it's out 👌🤙🔥
Excellent video again. I wondered how long it would be before you'd develop a full length jig. I found myself fitting 10 frames and doors recently and took the time to make my own similar full length jig. It made such a difference in the fit, finish, speed and ease of fitting. With those ballbearing hinges being the flavour of the month just now it makes sense to me to hinge them this way. Also I've always been of the opinion to spend time getting the frame in as accurately as possible so there is virtually no shooting of a door, especially if it's pre finished.
Can you show how your hinge jigs work on rebated door frames. For example fitting front doors.
Thanks Regards Spence .
@@spenceralton489 I would guess that you would pack the jig out the to compensate for the rebate (say 15mm). You would then drop the router cutter that same amount.
@@spenceralton489trend full length jig works exactly the same on front doors as it does on internal doors
You beat me to it ...@@spenceralton489
Excellent -- a simple but ingenious idea, perfectly realised! (Now, if you could persuade the hinge manufacturers to make them with rounded corners that'd simplify the process even further!)
They do but they cost upto 50%more per hinge.
@@paulzirker706 I did not know that -- thanks, Paul! (At least I know it was a good idea!)
Just use a 24mm guide bush & a 22mm router cutter, perfect for radius hinges
Brilliant idea. It takes me ages to get the cuts right
Yes please,
Perfect for them type of hinges. The thing that nobody on TH-cam doesn't seem to know how to do is a traditional half butt hinge where where you check into the door then with a rule and hinge closed, put along the edge of the hinge to show your clearance then tail the leaf of the hinge into the standards. If fitting a modern butt hinge I do exactly the same as you but when you try to apply the same principle to a traditional narrow butt hinge your clearance is left to luck when check the thickness of the leaf into the door and into the standards. I know you know how to do your traditional butt hinges. When fitting the standards I only worry about getting the hinge side right, then I hang the door and chase the standards around the door giving it 3mm clearance
Believe it or not trend do a jig for those. For how often it comes up though I just do those the old fashioned way
Desperately need one of these long jigs. Please let me know when they're available 🤞
Lovely stuff as always. Could you please recommend a decent set of pilot drill bits?
Nicely done Robin, I'd buy the long jig to go with my small one.
When did you switch from the air bags to the viking arms? I have a set of those and they are worth their weight in gold
Please let us know what brand of self centering bits you use 😊👍
Nice, what is the bit used for the pilot hole? Thank you
I use trend jigs got two, 3 inch and 4 inch hinges they are game changers .Hung 10 fire doors with latches chopped out of doors and 10 softwood linings in a day .Bosh not bad for 53 😂
Legend
I never use screws provided. They're always soft. Learned that from the craftsman who did the specialist in our current home
Great video, Robin yet again. Do not see a listing for your full length jig. And which model of router are you using in your video. Thanks
I use a cordless for screws but always Finnish by hand , and I only let in the hinges on the door then flush on the frame then if it sticks you just let hinges in , always hung twelve doors a day but not to your standard , when we had slotted screws and the customer wanted all the slots in the same line the chippy Forman would say it’s because they don’t have sex any more , great channel thank you , ❤
Nice product for recessing hinges for door and frame (planted rebate stops) How do you get on with this product on rebated door frames?Thanks
May I ask what pilot you used? Could you send a link to it please 🙏🏻
Thank you for the time and energy you spend sharing your knowledge and expertise 🙏🏻
Good Video Robin. I'm a great fan of jigs to do most jobs, however, I dont think I would swap my Trend one piece hinge jig for one of yours, I reckon the trend is more versatile, as you can use it on rebated linings, and even if the architrave is fitted. I use a battery trim router like yourself, however, I use it with a plunge base, as I learnt the hard way, that if you catch your jig with the cutter, you ruin ya jig
I want the long jig will purchase one now if possible
I need one of those jigs when are they back in stock.
Your jigs look great, how can I get a long jig, and also the small ones, 102mm and 76mm please, also i sometimes fit eclipse radial hinges if you could help please
Hi Robin. Great video. Do have a link for the clamp you use to hold the door in position while you prep the hinges?
Great advice. What type of a drill bit was used for the pilot holes? Where may i purchase 1?
Robin, how soon will I be able to get the full length jig and your latch jig Ive seen? Want both please
Hi Robin.
Could you kindly send a link to the door lifts you used in this video and your centre pilot plunge please.
Thank you for all you share. You have inspired me to become a carpenter at 42 :)
Thanks a lot for your nice video Robin. I'm just wondering about the link for the router bit.
I'd really appreciate if you could please let me know.
Thanks again.
I'd be interested in purchasing a full legth jig Robin
Would be brilliant if you could sell the full jig and also that lock jig
Hey Robin, what would you do if you wanted to retrofit some hinges into a door frame with a door stop already on?
What centring bit are you using there robin? Thanks 🙏
great tutorial video Robin,one thing tough,can you make your videos mono? when listening on headphones to the soundtrack of this (and some others) video you get only sound in the left speaker,something wich makes it quite annoying to watch the video,cheers
Hi. Thanks for the great video. Are the clamps the door stand on to fit to door frame the same ones on the purchase link?
Fine if the plasterer hasn’t left 3mm of plaster on the edge of the lining!😩
Nice job ,what if the architrave is in situ ??
Hi robin
I’ve got both the jigs for 3”&4” hinges
When will you have the full length version for sale my mate ?
Hi Robin, I've got a whole load of doors to hang - and never having done one before I reckon your full length tool will be invaluable to a newbie like me. Where the heck can I get one? Love the videos btw.
Before decimalisation it was a penny all round and tuppence on the floor.
Just to add that’s one old penny and two old pennies. Only people of a certain age might get this
Would deffo buy, I’ve got your hinge jig but this a game changer. Also when is your framing square and latch jig out for sale. Need to add them to my collection 😃
Very soon! and thank you Karl!!
So will this jig not work on a frame with the jamb built in, or could you attach a spacer to the jig the same thickness as the jamb?
Another great video Robin, do you have a link for the door holder or can you tell me what type it is, cheers :)
Is there a way to usd a jig on a rebated door casing?
Whats ur meaning of ease the door robin , ive the trend skeleton jig find it good but sometimes it doesn't sit square on d frame and u have to keep it pushed in , if u have to cut down the door its als a pain having to take it apart cause the whole thing wont fit in d frame and reset it the joys of a chippy
Excellent video, Robin. How does one determine the set back to the edge of the hinge leaf and use your jig to do that? I guess you might call it the 'hinge margin' from the non-barrel face of the door. Thanks.
My jig is set perfectly to suit the most common hinges
Can you use the jig if fitting new door into an existing frame ? Would you have to remove the architrave to be able to screw or clamp it to the frame ??
Brilliant video Robin a quick question is a leading edge required on the 44mm thick doors? Thanks
Depends on the reveal your leaving around the door, I find if you go 3mm all round then no it’s not required.
Which vix bit are you using and is it accurate?
Hello, It looks like the jigs wouldn’t work if the architraves are on, is that right? Anyone got any tips to get around that if so? Much appreciated. Love Robin’s work and explanations - down side, if you can call it that is my expectations of a trade and their work is a proper job as per RC and co. Keep raising the standards Robin, The cream floats to the top!
