- Learn how to install pre-hung doors for your reno project, including instructions on how to check for required shimming or leveling of a door frame.
A door is a precision instrument. It should consistently snap into its latch, clear its jamb, and swing effortlessly on its hinges. The fine tolerances needed to achieve this kind of performance help explain why hanging a door is considered a true measure of carpentry skill.
Using pre-hung doors means YOU can do it!
Good show.
Good video. He presents it to you like he is actually trying to help you rather than showing you he knows how to do it. Answers a lot of little questions that might come to your mind.
Thanks for watching.
This guy has single handidly help me build my TH-cam studio just form watching his videos. Thanks!
Crypto Fish ditto. Haha All his videos are consistently catering to my skill set.
Thanks for watching!!!
Awesome and very Precise instructional video!!!
@trent drake thanks for the kind words, happy DIY. What project are you working on this weekend?
Nice. I'm addicted to that music in all these videos! I get my guitar out and play some lead to it :)
Jam out! Thanks for watching!
Fantastic video. I really appreciate the time that you took to make this. It sure helped me install my 3 doors! Thanks to you, I am no longer scared of installing pre-hung doors. Cheers
Great instructions, I think I have to redo my interior doors.
Good info. It appeared that the door was sticking in the frame when being closed. Sticking a lot! Did nobody else notice this? It shouldn’t be touching anywhere on the frame once mounted. It almost looked like the rough opening may have been just slightly undersize not allowing for enough slop on the latch side to prevent this.
Excellent work, very thourough
Thanks for watching!!!
lol those rascally rough openings tamed by shims ! Nice vid; and hanging a fire rated metal door (garage to kitchen); this helps get started. Thx Man.
You made it seem easy! Will you be doing another video like this anytime soon?
Amazing guy, after seeing many videos I choose this and strongly recommend it.
Nice....Thanks
I thought that was tile under the plate I was gonna say how the fuck was that accomplished
What size nails should I use
"Plumb" is the word you want for vertically oriented objects. "Level" is for horizontally oriented.
Whoa the tile no tape to protect ..
what size nails do you use for the door jamb to nail thru the shims? Is it 2 1/2?
I like 2” 16 G
What is your measurements from the concrete floor to the frame?
The height of the rough opening is 82-82 1/2. The width is 2 inches larger than the door.
Sorry what i meant was, do you leave some space from floor to the frame ? If you lay carpet and underlay
I will leave 3/8 -1/2 if there is carpet going down.
18:29 Looks and sounds like the door hits the door frame before actually closing.
Bottom right side of the frame was out of line and he had to shim the upper right. I think the door could be sanded to fix the door hitting the frame sound that we could have heard.
Very helpful video as I prepare to replace a hollow door with a solid prehung door.
Upspeak?
What kind of nails and nail gun do you need to use for this?
Knowing the size of the nails used would be awesome. Great video by the way!!!
Thomas Reardon 15-16 gauge nails for putting the jam into the studs. 18 gauge when you’re gonna put your trim on.
K so....
Did someone say queso?
save your knees! use a kneeling pad or gardening mat :)
"The first thing you're going to want to do is destroy the tile around the rough opening with scratches and chips"...
It's the concrete subfloor.
'kay so......'kay so......'kay so.....queso'......queso cheese.
queso what? he's sharing really good info with us.. dwell on the good...belittle the bad...not that queso is bad. ;)
Cindy you’re awesome!!
Theirs no need to remove the door from hinge on pre hung the door frame is already level
it is standing on it's own with the tie straps on it but you need to take the weight of the door off the frame when you go to install it because the weight of the door causes the frame to flex until you have it screwed in to the wall.
@@RedroomStudios Thanks, this was causing me some issues and different videos has different ideas, but you are right, doing this alone and having the door off is very helpful.
@@sirbarleypants glad you found that helpful. I am not an expert but that technique has worked for me with 7 doors we have replaced while renovating our house.
@@RedroomStudios yeah, I did 3 after the video. They all came out perfect. Thanks.
Don't cut into your finished floor. Should be rule 1.
The floor is just concrete with diamond pattern joints. I think he's OK.
I like the video but I just cannot stand “up talkers”. They drive me crazy. Everything sounds like either a question or like they think you’re stupid. Like you don’t understand. Only 11 more minutes to go of Mr. Valley Girl? I think I can make it without throwing the device against the wall? Oh dear God why? Please make him stop? 😂
