    I just started watching your videos a couple weeks ago.
    I’m a union glazier in NYC.
    Great tutorials for those of us that think of mason work as magic.
    I like how you give the recipe for different scenarios.
    Watching this door install video, I like how you show the need to shim as you go. I had a side job, seven steel doors came out, from a block building and I installed seven Aluminum and glass doors.
    Well I made sure to tape 3/16” shims with gorilla tape to the strike side near the lock, and taped a note on each door. “Do not remove shim until after mason is done”
    They didn’t hire a mason, they hired a handyman to finish the stucco surround.
    Fast forward two weeks..... I get a call from the customer....”the doors I ordered must be too big, because they won’t close”

    Great job Mike. Having worked on a lot of old buildings I would cut a slot into the mortar above the lower course and cement in a metal bar as a secondary lintel before removing the old door. I'm sure you checked the structural integrity of the blocks and had confidence that collapse was not going to happen....really enjoyed watching this.

    thing of beauty. lots of those metal doors go in racked and never do close right. very nice. i always like the way you dive right in , no big deal
    and you are never intimidated by a job because you have seen it all. nice to have a ton of experience in your back pocket
    when you show up to a site. have a great week!

    Great job as usual Mike! Btw, I think that code for the door having to swing to the outside started in Pennsylvania. The way I remember, there was an old movie house or music hall that caught fire, and most of the people died because they only had doors that swung inside.. They panicked and ended up trampling and blocking the exits....

    • @timmer9lives
      @timmer9lives ปีที่แล้ว

      @@MikeHaduck Most codes make sense. I used to think plumbing codes for waste water drain lines and the slope of the lines were overkill. Thats until I read and saw firsthand about the substantial problems that occur when people replace the old 3-1/2 gallon flush toilets with new 1-1/3 gallon flush toilets. Theres no doubt that the old cast iron pipes need those 3 gallons because cast iron pipes have more flow resistance than PVC. Its a given that the new toilets will not carry all of the waste to the curb sewer lines. And then the toilets clog. And then the homeowner has to spend 15K to tunnel under their slabs and replace all the cast iron lines with PVC.
      Codes are there for a reason even though they might not make sense at first.

    See that flat wall the water just runs down the face under the frame and into the door as it’s rusts internally. Put a rain drip / rain diverter to allow water to drip away from the frame as the cohesion of water flowing down is diverted away from your steel frame and door. Also limit ice melter as it destroys aluminum and steel.

      Hi Sud, everything depends on who buys the material, and weather its steady hourly customer or you got to bid, who is helping ,etc, thanks mike

    Alright I just found your channel. I've been in Carpentery for 31 years. I decided I'm to old to keep framing so now I'm matinence for hud. We had our office remodeled and we have these same doors, but I locked myself out and had a guy that's street savvy I wanted to see how he would break in, just to see how secure they are. It took 3 minutes and he was in
    We have all the ada requirements for them good locks self coders and all he took a hammer and screwdriver popped the caps off of the 3 hinges popped the pins out and pried them off easily. I was shocked how easy it was, and it's in a very bad neighborhood. Last week 3 murders so we need it to be safe, do you have any ideas?

      Hi Shawn, maybe a bank vault door, but then lots of them been broken into, I know from experience you can't stop someone who has the knowledge of doors, locks are for the more honest folk, lol, mike

      They make hinges with non-removable pins. Full surface hinges also prevent this issue. Select SL-57 or Hager Roton hinges are great retrofits for butt hinges.

  • @ddiva1973
    @ddiva1973 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I assume that if the door had been too low, you would simply reverse the proposes. Knockout the side blocks, lower the beam and fill in the gap. Is that right?
    Also, this would probably work if the door was too wide or too slim. Knockout or fill in one side and mount the door.

    • @MikeHaduck
      @MikeHaduck  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi ddiva, yes , that is probably correct or I might have added a extension plate to cover the top, whatever works, thanks, mike

    • @MikeHaduck
      @MikeHaduck  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Steven, usually a door company would come in and build the door to fit, but usually you have them come over and give the measurement first, then cut it out, but if you buy a door off the rack, you usually build it out to fit usually wood and cover it with metal or cut it out, whatever works, Mike
