    I installed a new entry door on my house and posted a video of it on my social media. Then I got a call from a guy who needed a new door. Then that led to two more doors. The doors just keep coming. The clients are all in my trusted circle, because they're from my social media friends. I'm finding my most effective advertising is just posting a short Instagram/Facebook video that shows what I'm doing that day. And I explain some of the details in the video, like saying I shot 3" screws through the hinges, frame and strike plate to make the door more secure against break-ins, and people appreciate that information and see you as someone who is knowledgeable and willing to do a quality job.
    Maybe this might help somebody. I know I learn a lot from this channel that helps me. Keep hammering

    While installing door casing a couple weeks ago, I had an 18 gauge nail break in half and ricochet (probably hit a framing nail). It came back and whacked me in the orbital bone within 1/2 inch of my eye. Since this incident, I always wear eye protection (The girly skirt of course is still optional). I admit the risk is low with new wood frame-ups, but I would caution anyone to consider the risks in cases where you may not know what's underneath the material you are nailing.

  • @Mitzoplick
    @Mitzoplick 3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Rather than replace one of the hinge screws with a long screw, I like to one hinge at a time, remove all 3 hinge screws from the jamb, install a long screw through the jamb behind the hinge, then screw the hinge back in. It helps with my OCD over having one hinge screw that will likely not match the other 2.

    • @Twins22R
      @Twins22R 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good to go through the top hinge with the long screw because this one has the most stress on it and pine door jambs don't hold the screw forever. After that wood strips out, you'll be putting a long screw in eventually.

    So, you are saying it is not a gun show? A trick that another carpenter showed me was to use a long level and put enough shims on the hinge side to get that straight before putting the frame in the opening. Then you could attach that and focus on getting the clearances on the other side. They were in the business of building houses and they felt that was a faster way to get the alignment.

    I just bought a 20v to 18v adaptor for my Dewalt 18v drill. 2 for $30 from amazon. Works great! My 18v's wouldn't hold a charge for longer than a day. Half the weight using the 20s now.

    We all know doors close, the real challenge of hanging a door is it stays open.

    Is it easier to shoot nails thru door frame rather than putting screws?

      Yes.
      Easier to caulk and paint and screws can pull frame out of plumb.
