Best damn door hangin' video... EVER You know why? its because you, sir, simply did what you do- obviously regularly- with the addition of verbal instructions. That makes it easy to put together in ones mind. I find when people pause the work flow for ten minutes at every step to explain things it precludes my ability to put the whole picture together in my head. I watched seventeen other videos about the same subject and still didnt have a great picture of the process as a whole. This video was the eighteenth, and it virtually made the other seventeen obsolete. So thanks!
I will never again install a prehung door without first removing the door from the jamb. People don't know how difficult it is to get the hinge side jamb straight with the weight of the door constantly pulling on it. Also, I was yelling at my monitor trying to tell you to check the floor for level but I love the trick you did to raise the hinge side above the latch side effectively eliminating that step. Thanks for the tips, you have forever changed the way I will hang doors.
This guy is perfect!! Full install from start to finish WITH explanations and commentary in less than 15 minutes ....one continuous camera shot. Alan, great job!! I have 5 doors to hang and i'm going to do them just like you did your one door in this video. You truly helped me out, brother!!
Your welcome I'm glad I'm helping others with just a 15 minute video. I did it on my lunch break so my boss got a free door install out of me. Lol. Thank you for the great comments. Have a good night.
Regardless of any of the negative comments by the other self proclaimed professionals - your instructional video is exactly what I needed and used to hang 5 replacement interior doors. Great Video!
Alan, thank you for the video. It's been 15 years since I hung a door and was looking for a refresher. Using your instructions, I was able to hang four doors in two hours and they look perfect. Thank you sir.
The best door installation vid on TH-cam. This should be the first vid that pops up. I first watched this several years ago for installing a door for a customer because I had only installed a few doors for people. Now I’ve probably installed over a hundred doors for people and it was this video alone that improved my speed and understanding of what needs to be done first when installing a door. That 1/4 inch height on the hinge side is key to installing it once and having it go smoothly. If you don’t make sure it’s higher on the hinge side your door won’t shut when you reinstall the door to set the reveal for the strike side. So pay very close attention to what he’s saying in this video and follow everything he says and you’ll have no problem. Same for when installing a door With a threshold. Sometimes, especially in a garage the concrete is not level. So if it’s not you could need to shim under the threshold, on the hinge side to compensate for a floor that slopes in a garage. Then once the door is installed remove the shims and you can seal under the threshold with mortar or concrete patch to give the threshold support and to keep bugs, water etc out. And if you’re a homeowner and don’t own a nail gun use what are called hide screws. Get them at 2 1/2” long. The screws have a super tiny head on them and the screw itself resembles a finish nail. These work great for door installation and if you mess up you can just unscrew the screws and reposition the jamb. Instead of needing to pull a nail and risk messing up the door jamb.
This is the perfect way to hang a door. I've been searching and watching all sorts of videos here on TH-cam collecting info on door hanging, and this is the best and easiest way to hang an interior door. Thumbs way up! Thanks for the vid.
I watched this a year ago when I installed new doors on my home's main level. Now that I'm about to install all new doors on the second level, I'm re-watching this as my refresher and "motivator". Thanks again for this. (Now, if only I was as tall as you are, it would make my job even easier!)
I hang almost daily. If he can't do this job no one can. I was looking for tips and tricks on something I do all the time .Who knows, I learn new s..t all the time. This is exactly the way to hang a whole house in a day with casing right behind it. Great attitude.
This man is a professional. This is an exceptional how-to video. The speed and precision of his work shows respect for the cost of labor. The final result is very well done. I hung my first door with my father in the 80's, and it took hours. We did not have these skills. Thank you for sharing your expertise. It will save me time, and the result will be quality workmanship.
Richard F I agree. He's precise and knows his stuff. I like all the shortcuts and time saving tips, like taking the door off prior to installing it. I never would have thought of that and probably kept the door on. I also had never heard of a 'reveal' before. I'm want to do an interior steel garage door and I am totally an un-handy man so I'm thinking this video will help me a lot. Yeah, I know it's not quite the same install but this video looks like the most useful one out there. Thanks for this! Yes, you should consider doing these full time. :-)
This is the best video on hanging a door. Alan gives a great, easy to follow lesson on the fine points of door hanging. He does it in 15 minutes taking time to explain what he is doing. He could probably do the job in 10 minutes. This guy is a real professional tradesman. Thank you Alan.
Great video from a true professional with, a great attention to detail. Don't listen to the negative comments. Sad thing about a lot of people in the trades. They don't want anyone having a hand up on them. Maybe insecure about their position? You did a great job and truly one of the easiest videos to follow. Your videos have a positive effect on many.
Allen, I tried installing a pre-hung door years ago in another remodel project. it took me all day and brought me to my knees, begging for mercy. I watched your video before I tried again on my latest project. I figured I'd try something different, since everyone has always said to keep the door on, even though that didn't work so well for me last time. Taking the door off is brilliant! You made it look so easy in just 15 minutes. You sir saved the day. It took me longer than 15 minutes but it was so much easier. I felt like a pro afterwards and finished in plenty of time to get in a nap before the wife got home. She couldn't believe I could get it done in time. We both thank you Your video should be the gold standard on installing a pre hung door!!
7:26 - "we're halfway there" I chuckled at that one, spot on dude. I'm SOOO glad i didn't stop at the first video I watched. This is awesome man, great job!!!
This is the third video on hanging a door and this is by far the best. It shows how to do it quickly and easily. Great tips to ensure a good result. I can't wait to apply what I learned. Thanks!!!
I have 2 doors to do this weekend by myself. I really like the fact that you remove the door from the jamb. At first while watching your video I was skeptical after watching all the different videos & shows. I kept an open mind & watched the video in total and I'm sure glad I did! I like the fact you don't beat a horse with all the plumb / level talk of others. I'm in an old house with no square corners or level anything, lol. This video is sure to make my install a smooth venture while building my confidence. Thanks Alan
Good luck. If you have any questions. Let me know. I will be around these weekend. I will try and answer for you. Thank you for watching and I hope I could help. Have a nice weekend. 👍👍
I like how you took the door off the hinges before installation. It always made sense that it would be easier, but I never tried because I was taught to leave the door in. Thank you for the video.
This is the best "how to videoI have ever seen. I watched it after getting frustrated trying to hang a massive solid door - very heavy. After watching, I went back to the task, and did each step, just like he said. The big "aha moment" for me was taking the door off. That made it much easier. Once the hinge side was on properly, I put the door back on and did the "reveal" thing and "BAM"! It was done. It is the most perfectly hung door in the house! Thank you!!!
Thank you Alan, your video helped a lot. I hate calling my dad over for every little thing and I was determined to do this without him. With your help and step by step instructions (it took more than 15 min for me) But the POINT is that I did without calling for help! Thank you so much for your video!
Your welcome. Thanks for watching and leaving this great comment. This is why I love what I do for a living. Doing great work and helping others. Thanks again for watching. Please share video. Thank you Heather
my neighbor just brought over my new door for my new mancave, I have never installed a door before but after watching your awesome video I now have the confidence to get it done - thank you so much!!!
Hey Alan, thanks for posting this video. It really helped me out replacing a bedroom door for our sons room remodel. It was the first interior door Ive ever hung. It went pretty smoothly.
Thanks for the great tutorial; direct, easy to understand what you are doing and the reasons for doing it...I will be installing 2 doors this weekend and will definitely have this video up and running during the install.
I've watched a lot of videos on how to install pre-hung interior doors and this is the method I'm going to use. Very well presented information and much appreciated.
Best and easiest directions I've seen. Took me about an hour for the first door but now that I got the hang of it, the next three should be half the time. Thanks for saving me hundreds of dollars and helping increase the value of my home.
Great video bud. I'm a professional as well and it's easy to recognize this isn't one of those stupid how to vids for homeowners you do an excellent job of showing the pro way of installing a prehung, thanks for taking the time to help out!
alwow77. Thank you for this video. I had already installed a door between the laundry and garage (took me 3 hours) and it was all cocked up. I watched your video and uninstalled my door and re-did it according to your instructions. It went without a hitch. It took me a little longer than yours (1 hour) but it came out square, flush to the drywall and tight. Your instructions were clear and easy to follow. I really appreciate this video.
Best instructional video I've seen on hanging doors. I used your video to hang a pre-hung door following your directions. I at first tried those quick hang brackets, worthless, couldn't get the jamb plum for the life of me. Watched your vid, went to home depot bought a big pack of shims, 10d nails, watched your video again and hung the frame like you advised then attached the door! Great job thanks man!
THANK YOU.... this along with your installing double closet doors was SO helpful, I didn't think of searching this out until I heard my husband yell "what the ?!!!?" (day 2 of trying to install). He actually thanked me for finding this video!
This made sense to me, and I think that's what it's all about. I watched 2 other videos. This seems to be the easiest. Great job! Will be following your method.
@goldiegoo Thank you for the positive feedback I'm so happy that I'm helping others. My boss saw this video and said I was stupid to give out my way. I said I want to help others and with all this good feedback Iit makes me feel good that I help others. Thanks again.
This is the best explanation of how to. You explained this excellently. You are blessed to help others. I have had trouble many a time with the door on. Taking it off much more sense. Thanksgiving to you.
This video was super helpful! We tried figuring it out from another video first and it was taking so long. Found your post and now we have whipped through the 10 doors we had to install. Thanks for posting!!!
I took off a door jamb to get a couch into a bedroom. Now I have to put it back. I was pretty sure I could do it myself. I watched a couple other videos and didn't feel good about their demonstrations. This one I felt good about and now I'm eager to get the door up. I'm confident that I'll do a good job now that I've watched this video. Thanks.
Oh my lord - Well done. I have struggled with hanging doors. So fed up was going to pay somebody. This went smooth - door looks professionally installed. Thank You!
Great video!!! For those who aren't sure he is showing us the easiest way with the least amount of steps to end up with a quality install every time. Very professional he has clearly done this many times. Thumbs up for sharing!!! Only other thing to mention for beginners would be to check your rough opening for square before starting. As this could change these install steps
The best how to install a door video I have come across TH-cam. I have to truly thank you because of the time you took to make such a thorough video. I installed one door today with your help and it was pretty easy, but note to all, follow every single direction of Alwow77, otherwise you will make a mistake ;). Thanks once again.
Best video out there. Enough detail without over complicating the process. Side note: If you are installing a split jamb that comes with trim pre-installed, it’s a tad bit more difficult to shim than adjusting from both sides, as he does.
Best instructional on the subject by far. I have to install eight of these today, all solid core, so it's much easier to remove the door first. I'm not quite at the level you are, though, so I install the hardware before final nailing to make sure everything closes properly. Really terrific video. Thanks for posting.
This may be an older video than most but so far it is the easiest and fastest install I have seen. I am a 59 year old gal who loves to do my own work but installing a prehung door had me putting off finishing my new closet and bedroom I built in the basement. Watched your video all the way thru and I feel a lot more confident about doing this myself. Going to do it your way. Thank you so much for doing this video.
Great fucking job man, I just installed my first door the other day. I can see a few things I did wrong. good to know for the next time. good work. thanks for the video
I suck at hanging doors. I fight with them every time I try to do it. I've viewed several how-to videos on the subject and never really found them too helpful to me until I came across this video. I've done two now with three more to do. Both of the two came out perfect! I can't thank you enough for this well put together and informative video. Thanks again! Grateful door hanger. Lol!
Dude! This video was the best! It saved me much in the way of swear jar contributions and time! Every other video I saw was either over complicated or selling some crap tool at HD/Lowes. This is the best way to get the job done! I'm impressed that the job took 15 minutes AND you were narrating. That's cool! Thanks for this !
Best door install video out there. Thanks for taking the time to explain what and why you do on each step. Nice job I think I can install a door now thanks hope you post more videos
wow thanks that was awesome. I hung a door and had no business doing it. now know how and so I going to replace a couple of doors this weekend. Thanks again.
Vicki go make your own video. This video is to show you how to install a door. If the wall was out of plumb 1/4-1/2" I would make a video explaining how to install a door when you walk is not plumb. But this isn't the case. Go make your own video Vicki Johnson
Dude- Thanks for posting this video. Remodeling my house and was able to save money and hang my own doors (6 of them) from this video. They are perfectly hung and swing and close perfectly. Thanks again!
BEST door installation video hands down. THANK YOU!
Alexander Baronian thank you. I really appreciate that. Glad I could help.
@@alwow77 I ain't as quick as you though ☺ but how you do the install makes complete sense.

Excellent instruction. It's great to find someone who really knows what they are doing and is willing to share the knowledge.
BEST interior door install video on the internet. Period. Thanks for doing it.
It would be a crime to remove this video from TH-cam. I watch it every time I even think of installing a door. Sir thank you for your public service.

This really is a great video - you helped me out as well! Very staight-forward explanation, and I like that you explained the "why."

I like how you took the door off the hinges before installation. It always made sense that it would be easier, but I never tried because I was taught to leave the door in. Thank you for the video.
So much easier to take door off. That's my opinion

Just watched this again as a refresher, and still useful to me as before. thanks again!
I've watched about 10 of these tutorials. This one was by far the best. Thank you!

I have installed a lot of doors but never without the door in place. Never thought of that, you are a genius. God bless you.
I'm glad I could help. Awesome.

You frame in a door way faster than me. Good video and thanks for posting.
Best instructional video I've seen on hanging doors. I used your video to hang a pre-hung door following your directions. I at first tried those quick hang brackets, worthless, couldn't get the jamb plum for the life of me.
Watched your vid, went to home depot bought a big pack of shims, 10d nails, watched your video again and hung the frame like you advised then attached the door! Great job thanks man!
Watched three, this was the best. I will take the door off, it solves a problem of doing it myself. Thanks for everything.
+Thomas Altman do you usually look at a bunch of different videos before you get started on a new project?
Thank you I'm glad I could help you.
THANK YOU.... this along with your installing double closet doors was SO helpful, I didn't think of searching this out until I heard my husband yell "what the ?!!!?" (day 2 of trying to install). He actually thanked me for finding this video!
Thank you for this easy to follow guide- my last attempt at hanging a door resembled something out of a Tim Burton movie!
Your welcome. I'm happy I'm helping others. Thanks for watching.
I'm impressed! I watched this & then went and installed a door in 25mins :) Thanks for posting
This made sense to me, and I think that's what it's all about. I watched 2 other videos. This seems to be the easiest. Great job! Will be following your method.
That's great I'm glad I was able to help.
A born teacher... excellent video! Thorough, precise and efficiently done.
thanks a ton for this. gonna be putting in 5 new doors in my home shortly. this video helped me greatly!
Alan I like the way you show how to do this .I,m in the trades and you explain it old school the way we learned it back in the day.Thanks man
@goldiegoo Thank you for the positive feedback I'm so happy that I'm helping others. My boss saw this video and said I was stupid to give out my way. I said I want to help others and with all this good feedback Iit makes me feel good that I help others. Thanks again.
You did a really nice thing here man.
For one damn thing you sure as heck help me out now you're doing great brother 👏
This is the best explanation of how to. You explained this excellently. You are blessed to help others. I have had trouble many a time with the door on. Taking it off much more sense. Thanksgiving to you.
This video was super helpful! We tried figuring it out from another video first and it was taking so long. Found your post and now we have whipped through the 10 doors we had to install. Thanks for posting!!!

Oh my lord - Well done. I have struggled with hanging doors. So fed up was going to pay somebody. This went smooth - door looks professionally installed. Thank You!
Thank you for watching. I'm glad I could help.
Stright to the point. Thanks for the video. Really helped me out

I realize this isn't a new video but following everything step by step made it really easy to install my door. Thanks for your help.
The best how to install a door video I have come across TH-cam. I have to truly thank you because of the time you took to make such a thorough video. I installed one door today with your help and it was pretty easy, but note to all, follow every single direction of Alwow77, otherwise you will make a mistake ;). Thanks once again.
I'm glad I could help. I appreciate the positive feedback. Thank you.
I agree, I watched several till I found this. Not sure why there’s so many Canadian videos lol

Best video out there. Enough detail without over complicating the process. Side note: If you are installing a split jamb that comes with trim pre-installed, it’s a tad bit more difficult to shim than adjusting from both sides, as he does.
what size finish nails did you use?
2 1/2 inch long. Thanks for watching.
I just fixed two doors that I hung very wrong years ago. Your video is awesome. Works so great people will think a pro did it. Thank you so much!!!!!
Took me bout 2 1/2 hours to do what this guy did in 15 min
schoolboy405 took me 3 hours
Best video I've seen on putting in a prehung door. Makes me wonder why I've been fighting the door in the way for so long! Thanks!
Your door video is the most common sense
Grant Short thank you
Best instructional on the subject by far. I have to install eight of these today, all solid core, so it's much easier to remove the door first. I'm not quite at the level you are, though, so I install the hardware before final nailing to make sure everything closes properly. Really terrific video. Thanks for posting.
great video thank you!!!!! going to go hang the door now
This may be an older video than most but so far it is the easiest and fastest install I have seen. I am a 59 year old gal who loves to do my own work but installing a prehung door had me putting off finishing my new closet and bedroom I built in the basement. Watched your video all the way thru and I feel a lot more confident about doing this myself. Going to do it your way. Thank you so much for doing this video.
awesome dude. I needed this.
I followed this video and successfully installed six doors in a couple hours! Mind Blown! Thank you so much!
Great fucking job man, I just installed my first door the other day. I can see a few things I did wrong. good to know for the next time. good work. thanks for the video
Thanks a lot. I appreciate that
This man is awsome, because I did not how to install a door a saw so many videos, but he did in the best, easy and fast way, thanks a lot.
You're hired.
I suck at hanging doors. I fight with them every time I try to do it. I've viewed several how-to videos on the subject and never really found them too helpful to me until I came across this video. I've done two now with three more to do. Both of the two came out perfect! I can't thank you enough for this well put together and informative video. Thanks again! Grateful door hanger. Lol!
Awesome Scott I'm glad I could help. Thanks for the great comments. This is why I do it. Thanks for watching.
Excellent!
Dude! This video was the best! It saved me much in the way of swear jar contributions and time! Every other video I saw was either over complicated or selling some crap tool at HD/Lowes. This is the best way to get the job done!
I'm impressed that the job took 15 minutes AND you were narrating. That's cool!
Thanks for this !
Your welcome I'm glad I was able to help you. Awesome comment. Thank you.
You forgot to curse the framers
So true
Wil Morris lol funny
I curse both every day because of my master bedroom door.
Haha! Or the "earth settled"
Best door install video out there. Thanks for taking the time to explain what and why you do on each step. Nice job I think I can install a door now thanks hope you post more videos
Watch them install a door on This Old House with a slightly different method and I think I prefer this method instead
Awsome video. Literally only took me 25 minutes and I'm not a carpenter. Thanks again.
And yes, GET THE DOOR OFF THE HINGES to install the jamb! Made me keep just a little more hair a little longer!
Thank you Alan! Your video was the only one that made sense to me! We installed our first interior door perfectly!
Good vid!
Thank you
wow thanks that was awesome. I hung a door and had no business doing it. now know how and so I going to replace a couple of doors this weekend. Thanks again.
Thanks to all of the great comments. Your all welcome. I'm so happy I was able to help others. Thank you
Thanks Alan - best functioning door we got in the house now!
Vicki go make your own video. This video is to show you how to install a door. If the wall was out of plumb 1/4-1/2" I would make a video explaining how to install a door when you walk is not plumb. But this isn't the case. Go make your own video Vicki Johnson
Like they say, "you can never please them all" Vicki probably put the boots to her door by now..lol
alwow77 u r great
Imran Tahir thank you I appreciate that. I'm just trying to help others. Thanks for watching.

Boom!
Thanks Alan - you make it look so possible for someone that has never done it before.
You make it look so simple, going to try and follow your instructions and try not to screw it up. Thanks for the instruction.
Dude- Thanks for posting this video. Remodeling my house and was able to save money and hang my own doors (6 of them) from this video. They are perfectly hung and swing and close perfectly. Thanks again!
Best door install video I've seen on YT. Thanks.
Excellent demonstration! Good teaching skills. I'd work shoulder to shoulder with this guy anytime. Bet you could learn a lot in a week! :-)
You should have been a teacher you're good at what you teach I never seen anyone hang a door more faster and prettier
Excellent video. The way you show the process is much easier and faster than I was doing. Thank you!
