Just a tip that you may already know. When you are drilling the hole for the handle, as soon as you see the tip of the drill bit come out the other side, take it out and drill from the other side, that way the hole saw won't make the wood/hdf splinter off like it did
If I was using the proper drill I would have been more confident. I was trying to find the right moment since it took almost 5 mins. But it snuck up on me! Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY It wasn't about the proper drill, you said you saw the center bit coming out the other side, should have switched drill sides then. You probably didn't think it would tear out that bad, then oops.
Just wanted to let ya know that love the long videos. Every Saturday night when you upload, my family & I all sit down & watch them. We look forward & enjoy them. Love being able to watch as a family & everyone regardless of age etc...(last weeks under the stairs playroom was a hit for my 3 & 5 yr old nieces.....they want one now😉), finds something they like in each video. Just thought you guys should know that we really appreciate your hard work, & having fun at the same time(as it shows in the vids). Thanks again. Cheers, A & Family👍🏻💙
You're a true expert and your videos are great to watch and extremely useful. One thing i have to say, having done some cabinet work - you can't beat a trim router and a simple router template to get those hinge recesses done in literally 20 seconds. That's why they round those hinge corners these days. Keep up the great work - these are so much better than some of the other 'diy help' channels out there in TH-cam land!
Just joined as a member. As a fairly green DIY homeowner, I cannot thank you enough for all of your quality videos. Literally any job on the planet is probably on TH-cam somewhere but rarely do folks ever explain the process like you. Thank you again!
A couple of inputs: 1. Estwing makes a really nice two faced mallet for use with chisel work and for installing door hardware so that there aren't chowder marks left by the dimpled faced framing hammer 2. When the doors are horizontal, stand them up on the long edge and clamp them together for two operations (drilling the ball latch holes and marking the top hinge mortices). This also reminds you to have mirror images for hinges...and please don't ask why I know this is a good idea :-).
Jeff, I wanted to thank you very much for this video. I had to install French doors in my house and you video guided me to complete it successfully. After a long though on the hardware to use I decided to use the roller balls on each door top. I bought two nice lever door knobs because this is for a living room/entrance. I decided not to install the latch (and catch) since I don't need any locking feature. It came out pretty well except for a little rattling sound I couldn't resolve. Now I have to paint it to match the wood color of the floor and the staircase. I have to figure out what kind of paint to use and how to match the color. I subscribed to your channel because I find your explanations very clear and fun to watch. Thanks again!
Nice video Jeff! A trick for boring out holes for door handles with the guide tool you used to avoid chipping from the opposite side, start drilling on one side a little bit, maybe a mm or 2 and then go to the other side to drill right through, the template tool should guide it perfectly through still, and you'll avoid chipping and extra work patching.
Exterior doors for sound proofing. I had French doors installed between my basement office and Theater room. I wanted it to be really quiet so I used wood exterior French doors with windows in them. The benefit in sound dampening having it airtight top, bottom and center is amazing. It was an extra $1000 but totally worth it.
I dont even plan to install French doors, but the tips and tricks in your videos and the content of interaction.... makes me always watch your videos from start to finish.... thankyou and keep up the amazing work
Watching your video made my installation of the French doors in the basement so much easier! Plus I really enjoyed seeing you make a couple of tiny goofs and then fixing them. Keep up the good work!
New home buyer so stumbled across this video. I was nervous when I saw this video was almost an hour long (usually means they're just rambling). So glad I started watching because once I did, I couldn't stop watching. UNMATCHED job balancing instruction with information. Additionally, I really appreciate you explaining not only what you're doing but how I can fix my mistakes. Instant sub. Look forward to tuning in in the future and going back and seeing what else I can learn from previous post!
The gap in-between the doors is about perfect, if you install a T Astragal not only will it block the light but it will fill whatever gap there is. Astragals are usually included in French door kits
Doing something as complicated as that with only a little bit of tear out on the inside of the door is still really impressive, and now i feel confident trying this myself and knowing what to try and avoid.
Jeff, I have a really nice hinge kit from Ryobi, that I didn't think I'd like but oh my do I love it. You can adjust it for different thickness doors and it has different inserts for almost every door hing style, so quick and nice with a router.
You asked us to post suggestions on what we wanted to see in 2019. I live in a 35 year old house and every ceiling has a popcorn finish. 🙁 I want to start taking it down and have a smooth ceiling. I know this is a big undertaking and I have to do it myself. Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated! Looking forward to your new videos!
How about the clock timer that shows the total elapsed time of each project. Because I'm such a novice, it would actually help me to know if I should tackle one of your video projects or not. Thanks for all you're doing for us DIY'ers down here in the lower 48.
If the gap at the top is not perfect, how can it be corrected? My door on the left is about 3mm low at top center and same spacing between the doors at the bottom. Maybe more shim thickness at bottom and less at top? Jamb is plumb though.
I truly enjoy watching your videos. You have taught me a lot of little tricks of the trade. Sometimes you show a little tip and I go DUH, why did I do It so much harder for 30+ years. Lol. It was comical watching you drill the door knob, using that honker of a drill. Lol. One tip that I could suggest if I may, would be, when the pilot drill popped through the backside of the door, remove the drill bit and start drilling from the other side of the door and that would prevent the massive tear out from the hole saw.
Great detail and explanations. The troubleshooting advice and what-to-look-out-for notes are incredibly valuable. I’ve been procrastinating repairing/replacing a French door in my house, and after watching this I am more informed and confident for the task. Thank you!!
Looks great, my wife and I wanted to try our hand at french doors leading into the dining room - this will be a great help! Would love to see some information about retrofitting a whole home vacuum system into our house to see if it's worth getting into.
I vote for a central vac system install, too! Would love to see one retrofit to an existing house. And couldn't the lines be run thru an attic in a one story house? (Not under the floor.)
Central vac systems are better left to the 60s/70s when they were a "thing". You could buy 20-30 handheld rechargeable Dyson vacs and get much better cleaning than a central vac system. Technology wins today.
Is it normal to have a bit of a gap in between the doors? I have about 1/2 gap in between the doors. Also one thing I guess you can doo when installing the top stopper is you can measure the length of the top stopper and measure the same distance on your drill bit and then put a masking tape and when the tape hits the top of the door you know you have drilled far enough. Hope that helps.
I have that Irwin door handle jig. When you drill with the holesaw, stop drilling before you go through the door and drill from both sides and you won't blow out the wood ! :-)
Yes a bigger door is better in say a Rec Room and you need to move a Treadmill thru the door. In our case with the door off it was 29.5" wide. Not enough to get Treadmill thru the door. We wanted to have the door open outwards because of room setup there was no way to have the door open inwards, it would hit furniture. So I took the top and side jambs out and was left with a 32" x 82" opening. Narrowest part with Treadmill in up position was just a bit over 32" wide. So it was just a matter of pushing Treadmill on Dilley thru the door turning to one side slightly thru the door and at one point tilt the top part to fit thru. Don't ask me how we ever get the thing out again. The other door in the room goes to the garage and with the big heavy door taken off, it is 32" wide. Front door with door off is 36" wide, didn't really want to push treadmill outside and then infront around to garage and then into that 32" wide door. Why is my roughed in opening 32" x 82", I thought 32" x 80" was standard? It goes have tile floor in the hallway. Do I set the new door jambs as if it was 80" high opening? And fill in the other 2"? Jeff any tips when going out to buy the new jambs and door? Build that yourself or get a pre-hung door? Wife wants a single French door with the glass. Those glass doors are expensive. Is it worth trying to sell the old door frame and door with it? Technically it would be a pre-hung door. It is a little beat up from moving furniture in and out. Jeff the old jambs had the stops milled into the jamb. Is that normal? The old jamb was real wood but was finger jointed pieces.
you can buy doors that are 78 or 80 inches high. the opening all depends on which height. in my area 80" doors are standard so 82 rough is also! Cheers Paul!
That door knob hole saw, why didn't you stop when the pilot drill cam thru and take the hole saw out and go to the other side and finish the hole from the opposite side?
off my game using that monstrosity of a drill. oh well. anything can be fixed. we left it in the edit to show folks what can go wrong and how to fix it.
Please get the Milwaukee door handle install guide it will save you so much time Second when drilling i always drill from 1 side until the center bit pokes trough the other side then I'm finishing off by drilling trough the other side i know u can patch stuff up but 5 seconds switching sides vs lot of time patching and painting
There is a tool to make the round corner hinge cutouts into a square. It is a small "L" shaped chisel set into a block. A tap with a hammer sets your square corner.
Just about 3 weeks late Jeff! Installed my French doors a few weeks ago and had a dilly of a time. Great info though! Your drywall videos were absolutely perfect though, followed them to the T and the results were great.
a good tip for you to add was to drill from both sides when make the knob hole (your jig should keep it perfectly lined up with a proper drill haha) and then you wouldn't get any tear-out
If I was using the proper drill I would have been more confident. I was trying to find the right moment since it took almost 5 mins. But it snuck up on me! Cheers!
This is a good tutorial for a door from scratch but there's a lot of brands that make custom order prehung French doors where all you have to do is make it level and plumb in the opening and it will be as perfect as you possibly can get it.
Sir if u can....show us a video for wainscoting on the staircase and crown moulding for the ceilings that would be awesome.....and i love all ur videos everytime.....much respect from me and my family
In regards to drilling the hole in the door. Isn’t always better practice to start drilling the other side when the drill bit starts to show? Thanks for the really informative videos!!
Yup it is, If I was using the proper drill I would have been more confident. I was trying to find the right moment since it took almost 5 mins. But it snuck up on me!
Wow you mangled that door knob hole. lol maybe show how you fixed that and the other knife slip. It would look better if a 1x strip was used to cover that gap and maybe a little weather stripping for sound deadening. Not really for weather, it just keeps the door from rattling when closing, a vibration damper.
I’d like to see a video in-depth on how to sharpen a chisel my chisels aren’t that sharp ever! As well a video or even a series on what tools you find yourself using every single day in day out what’s your go tool aresonal?
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I couldn't resist! I just love a sexy Frenchman wearing a tool belt who can build things! LOL If you get anymore talented, I don't think my heart can take it!
Ok, so I thought we agreed trim work,trim work, trim work😂😂. Ok, ok, I know you still have to film them... So the little bit of trim, and the door casing will hold me over for now.... God bless, and Dirty Jersey out!!!
Thanks Ramon, Looks like another huge blizzard heading our way for the next 2 days. I live in a cold wintery hell. Can't wait to go to vegas next week. Cheers!
I’ve been trying to find the door frame kit like what you used in this video. Any tips on what to look for? I’m not having any luck... might have to make that a DIY project too!
I already have door jams installed and its trimmed. I am look to just buy replacement doors. What size doors do I need to buy and/or how much needs to be shaved off in compared to the rough opening? Great video! thanks for any help in advance.
If you can hang a french door, then you can hang one in any language! Cheers!
lmao
Thanks for the KISS. Keeping it simple stupid.
Love the channel but the accent is terrible, lol
Nice if you come down to Florida let me know 🎼🎶🎺🌅
This is the best channel Jeff is the best 👍
tip from a carpenter, when the pilot bit pokes out the other side, finish drilling from the other side to prevent breakout
This is the easiest solution. Another is to clamp a scrap piece of wood onto the backside to prevent blowout and patching later on
Just a tip that you may already know. When you are drilling the hole for the handle, as soon as you see the tip of the drill bit come out the other side, take it out and drill from the other side, that way the hole saw won't make the wood/hdf splinter off like it did

Hi Guys, that is how we roll. Cheers!
I bought that exact kit, had the same fight with packaging, then had the same reaction to how useful it was for my situation
What is that kit called? Can you show me a link to Home Depot or Amazon? I need to install French doors and need this kit please.
Exterior doors for sound proofing. I had French doors installed between my basement office and Theater room. I wanted it to be really quiet so I used wood exterior French doors with windows in them. The benefit in sound dampening having it airtight top, bottom and center is amazing.
It was an extra $1000 but totally worth it.

just the video I wanted--I have two louvered doors, not french doors, for my bathroom closet. Love your process!
Can you show the process on a pre-hung french door ?

Gary this video is a-door-able!
LOL awesome. Cheers!
Could you do a lesson on using the laser level?
What seriously? I can do that... Turn the damn thing on and align your laser line to the mark, done.
I would love to see a video on tool list including where to get the dewalt level and stand. Can only find non-magnetized. Thanks

Hahaha I love the French accent at the start! 😊 I restarted the video after watching just to hear that accent again.
Cheers , Thanks for that. Max made me a little nervous when he decided to use it. I was just joking around before filming and bam. he caught me.
Was gonna call ya out on drilling the hole from both sides, but it looks like 200 people already did. No use piling on. Have a nice day 😁😁
Thanks for the mercy, Cheers!

You will love them.That is the perfect place for them. After dinner you can leave the mess and close the doors.
The ryobi hinge kit would help really well, and I believe would have saved you alot of time. Fyi I love watching every new episode you guys post!
Perhaps harvey. but if I am going to use ha chisel then i don"t want to be dealing with plastic thing. Cheers!
This is a great video, it really shows your thought process is problem solving. As a homeowner and inexperienced handy man these videos are awesome.
Cheers Isiah, glad to help!

Hi Steve, glad to hear you liked it. Cheers!
Ryobi makes a great hinge kit for using a palm router on the slabs.
ah , but first you need a palm router. most homeowners don't have one so that is why I showed the old school way. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I reckoned that after I posted it. However it is well worth the investment if you have more than one set of doors to do.

This is a good tutorial for a door from scratch but there's a lot of brands that make custom order prehung French doors where all you have to do is make it level and plumb in the opening and it will be as perfect as you possibly can get it.
That accent, Haha you just made my day! I really like the slow mixer drill method.
He already looks like Jean Reno, at that moment he sounded like him. made me chuckle.
In the UK, we have pre-hung doors, so all you do is slap the frame in and hang the door on the hinges, boom. I'm drinking a French Beer.
Another great video Frenchie!
Thanks Red, having a bit of fun here.Cheers!
Great... I cant wait to do this next week..... LOL
