Now it’s time to take a 20 minute TH-cam video and turn into a 2 week project, that’s what I’m best at.
Hey ye ain’t by yourself! I’m right there with you lol
It takes me 2 hours to find where I left all of my tools
Dude, I like you a lot, so please wear safety glasses. I need you to be able to keep make these videos. With a missing eye or two, that may be tough.
So glad I watched this....I’m about to change 8 doors in my house and I’ve never done one before but you’ve given me the confidence that I could do a decent job....nice one
I don't understand your comment at ~3:49 regarding the door has an inside and outside - shorter side and longer side. How do we determine which is which?
I used to use a circular saw with a guide set to about 3/16" and trim the lock side of the door the entire length, only takes a minute, no plane, sanding etc. Gives a nice gap all around. Router the hinges too.
Quick and easy never go together in home renovation. Great video and great channel.
Thanks a ton. Cheers! And congrats on your channel success!
I love what you just said
I can see already I’m in over my head.
I'm glad that you come up in my recommended feed a lot. You're my favorite TH-cam presenter in the DIY home renovation space.
OMG! Hanging doors ... I hate hanging doors -- especially that chisel part 🤮
Cheers Ian!
Wish I'd seen this video an hour ago.. lol thanks.
10:00 'These chisels aren't in the best of shape..." oh yeah? You just did your cut out w/o a hammer! They're fyyyyyyne! LOL Great tip re using the driver bit to set the hole location for screws. REALLY good camera work. Excellent workmanship.
Cheers Jim!
This video says March 26 but Jeff has a tan. I think it was made the summer before.
Thanks for this Jeff. We are renovating a house we bought "as-is" last April. We were able to buff up all the doors except one. This video was a great help in getting a blank door ready to hang.
Hi. Thank you for all the wonderful and informative videos. I do wish that i cal could be so handy like you as a female 😊. Watching your video, I do have questions but I’m going to try to follow exactly what you do ☺️. I did purchase 2 new slab doors to update our current old looking doors. I purchased the standard size and sure needed to trim it down to fit the right size. To purchase a custom door cost more so I’m trying to just trim it myself. The saw that you use, can you share the info so that I can purchase one for the future door change too. I still got about 10 more doors to update. Thank you and more helpful videos to come please. God Bless 🙏🏽
"Safety Second"
That is for sure. Not all of us are made of ice cream or chocolate. Cheers!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Did you learn something Rob? Or, did you already know it all? Bitch ass.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY just like i do it,no mask or glasses,im 67 and still have all my fingers and both eyes lol
I paid a schmuck money to install 8 doors worth $450 a piece he didn’t frame or caulk them. I hate horrible contractors and he had the nerve to come recommended. Now let me take note 📝 ✌🏽
So Sorry to hear that. Hopefully one day we can help create a better handyman environment where clients are more informed to know how to ask the important questions and these sharks smarten up. Cheers Cyrious!
The problem is I live in a house from the 1930s and the frame and strike plate is completely different from new ones so I have to get a whole new assembly and new door
Same, and I don't want to remove the metal frames cause it would be insane X_X
Omg! that's my next project , bought 3 doors to refit and you uploaded this tutorial, psychic connection buddy☺☺☺☺thanks for this one😀
You're such a wonderful teacher. Thanks for another great instructional video!
I can’t stress enough on wearing a mask, breathing saw dust is deadly for your lungs. Please everyone protect your lungs from all debris.
seriously. LOL
Dude! I love when ever I have a home renovation question and I search youtube, your videos pop up! You have low key influenced my whole house lol
I strongly believe one should attack the frame before the door (assuming you're okay with repainting it) in order to get a good fit. Otherwise, the next door replacement will require door trimming again. Get the frame cleaned up, and any standard door will fit.
Planning the door is far easier than planning the jam otherwise you'd have to remove the door stop or use a manual planer.
Also there might be nails or screws in the jamb that secure the jamb to the rough frame. Also if it's an exterior door, attacking the frame weakens the structure and the latching integrity.
My woodwork teacher said never chisel towards yourself, one slip and bang goes your married life lol
Those are some cheap looking hinges.
what do you want for a semi detached home. GOLD?
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY savage!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and don’t pay attention to negative comments...
How you planed the bottom edge 🙈 😂. Lazy mans way
I've done several interior door swaps due to previous owner damage etc. I use a template and a router, makes very fast and accurate hinge installs. I still enjoyed the video using a chisel though.
Was hoping this would be a lot more simple....never quick 😂 great video none the less!
Do yourself a favor and get two 1-1/2 chisels. That way you have a spare sharp one when one gets dull. I use a variety of chisels in my carpentry business including a 2-1/2 x 8" slick for cleaning up notches in 6x6 posts. All sharp enough to shave with.
Wow, I would put a chisel that close to my neck. never know when the wife is walking by!
I really enjoy watching your videos at 430am lol. I wished my husband could do home renovations in our apartment. I've learned a lot from watching your channel. Keep up the good work 👏
Very good, thx. I would also mention that the time of year is significant. Installing during a humid summer day? Make the fit as snug as you can. Installing in the dry winter? Give it some breathing room.
great advice for folks who don't have humidity control in their homes. Cheers!
What's the model # and name of the Makita tool you used on that door?
Learned something here...plane the latch side, not the hinge side. Nice job Jeff!
great advice. today's doors are already thin enough. no need to make the hinge side any weaker. Cheers!
Ryobi makes a kit to cut the hinge mortises and hole for the knob. I believe it’s designed to reference off the original door (if you have it). Would be a time saver if you’re doing a lot of doors but if it’s just one, maybe not worth the money. Requires a router.
How about if every frame in your house is right between every manufactured size, meaning it's either too small or too large to make any door that doesn't cost £200 to fit :D I suspect i'll be reframing the whole house.... oof
Already did my first two doors by watching some of your older videos. I'll be sure to to watch this one. Your videos are awesome for a newbie such as I.
Not for long, you keep this up you will be a bonified jack of all trades. Cheers!
Bought a house month ago. Installed two pre hung doors. Door was old and both had history of being kicked in. But this video help me with just doing doors on rest of the house.
I’m literally dealing with this exact issue right now! Thanks!
Glad to be helpful. Cheers!
really helpful! really detail! learn a lot from your videos!
You need to make a jig to hold the doors so you can plane them and do the hinge mortise
I would suggest the hinge template and a router over manually clearing it out. You get a factory like finish, it’s faster, and is one less thing that can get messed up.
Agreed! However I show this aproach for all those folks who don't want to buy the tools just to hang a door. Cheers!
Tips or maybe a video on how to fix doors that don’t latch properly?
I love that idea. we will definitely be doing that. Cheers!
Would like to see this one as well. So many situations to consider.
And how to fix doors that slightly open by themselves, or slightly close by themselves?
What's the name of the protective sheath you mentioned at 19:19? Was trying to get one but I can't find it on Amazon
In the UK we have to flip between imperial and metric measurements because some building materials come in either of these. I wish you would do the same for people outside America. Good job
Love your content, but 4 god sake’s put on some safety glasses 😁
What the green marking tool which u have used for marking latch and knob? (Green little thing)
As a licensed builder your better off to plan half way on the door and to plan to the middle from the other end that way you wont chip off the corner you are ripping.
no attention to details.. bad job on chiseling for the hinges.. just not professorial at all.
It would be nice to have a link to the jig you used to cut the hole for the knob. Also, please, a little more information on planing the width of the door. Not quite sure what you mean about not stopping part way through, assume that means to keep going no matter what. Also, what if the door doesn't yet have a bevel. What do you do?
Great video. Best set of instructions I've found for this task. Would you recommend changing the old hinges or can the old hinges work? Thank You!
Old hinges would work but if you’re already getting a new door why not put on some fresh hinges? But if they were relatively new hinges I can’t see why they wouldn’t.
Great... now I have to pick up a Makita planar since I see how useful such a tool can be!
a belt sander works as well if you have one. just need a little patience. Cheers!
You’re very talented & you have a great planer.
Jeff, I'm sure you have run into jobs that had a current (or past) DIY failure, specifically drywall. How about a video repairing failed jobs? Such as fiberglass patches, bulging, and flashing? Cheers!
Hi Robert, wait until you see the episode of this bathroom in the reality Renovision. This bathroom was a DIY nightmare. Plus we will get to see all the DIY failures at pour new 1880's farmhouse. Cheers!
Wonderful demonstration and it boosted my confidence. I just installed a door using these steps and it worked great! I even learned how to use a planer. Thank you and well done!
Just wondering why you don’t use a router for the hinge mortises.
Come on. Plain the bottom like that and you most likely will blow out the grain on the end pass. I have done it and that is not a pretty edge.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I have blown it out with brand new blades. I am 60 this year and have been in the trades all my life. So yes I might have some real experience in opps and perfection. And dull blade leaves nice brown and black marks behind.
Thank you for the information. I like your outlook and positive attitude. New fan.
No sense having a bad outlook. How you see things will determine how you handle things. Cheers!
I love this show!!!
Thank you. Cheers!
I recently discovered interesting surface-mount hinges that don't require any chiselling. Could be useful in some situations.
especially if you hate to use a chisel. Cheers!
Termite lol! You're teaching me to have patience every time I'm doing a job now I think how would Jeff react
Hi and thank you for the great videos about drywall and all the tips and tricks.
This video is full of information also, but it would be great to show all the steps needed for replacing a door in a brick wall. Telling a brick wall I mean a good old fashion internal thick plaster which makes a 25sm brick wall extend to 31-33sm at total.
How to remove the old frame to minimize the damage on the plaster. How to shim and fix the new door frame and how to restore the damaged parts of the wall plaster.
Once again - thank you for the all effort you give in making theese videos.
What brand Safety Squints you using? 😂
Oh they are very special and a custom fit! Cheers!
Thank you sir because of this video i just replaced my first solid core door. I love ur positive attitude because this was stressful for me 😄
Thanks for this video and especially the point about doors having a bevel. You saved me a lot of trouble.
loved the tip for the screwing
Hey Gary I followed your instructions- why is the door is always hitting me in the ass when I leave?
LOL , sorry Al, perhaps you are a little too abrasive. try paying it forward to fix the karma. Cheers!
We call that hingebound in England, the offset of the hinge too near the stop.
You make the best instructional videos on TH-cam. LOVE IT
Great video as always! Where can we buy those drill bit sheaths? I always scratch my surfaces :(
I believe you can deconstruct a pen.
"Right to the bone...," he says, with the chisel aimed at his crotch.
Why are bathroom doors so small, especially in older homes?
The old code was 24" And I have no logical reason for that. Cheers! In really old houses the door was also shorter as well. Cheers!
I love you videos and the way you teach.
Thank you
DISCLAIMER: DON’T EVER RUN POWER TOOLS (ESPECIALLY TOOLS WITH MOVING BLADES) WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED!
...That said, I loved the video! Awesome quality, simple and clear instructions, & the end result looks great! I cringed a little bit when you ran the planer across the top of the door with your eyes closed though... Like I’m all for working faster to get it done... As long as faster doesn’t mean getting wood shavings in the eye at that 10,000 rpm speed your electric planer operates at...
Hey just want to say thank you for all your videos! I am looking at buying a older home that needs a lot of cosmetic fixes: repaint, new windows, and new doors. Your videos are changing my perspective from oh crap this is going to be an insanely expensive and intense project to this is something I can handle. Keep being kick ass and awesome!
He's not lying about the chisel going straight to the bone. Go and ask 12-year-old me the story.
I have installed many doors looking for more ideas, but this is bad
(1). when planning the end, you do it the way he shows - you damage the end of door
(2). you use a square to draw you a straight or you have problems close and moving the door left to right it will
(3) use square to use a knife to cut lines and keep your fingers away
(4) small with a flat head cut it at the right height and easy to just to cut low
you do it his way good luck!!!!!!!@ because it is the wrong
Jeff, don’t change. You’re great!!! Absolutely my favorite!!! I cannot click on your vids fast enough and always watch to the end. I will often watch many times simply because you pack so much great info in I dont want to miss even one detail!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁😁😁😁😁
Also, if I were younger and you were not happily married to a lovely woman, this ole gal would have to move to Canada!!! 😜❤️
If that was all in play I would look forward to receiving you! Cheers!
Hey Jeff I like your videos but I can't believe you don't have a video of hanging bi-fold doors and I find your videos very helpful
Wow, I will get right on that!
Great videos, consider moving your mic location so it doesn't pick up you breathing as much.
hot day and working hard. goes with the territory. I am not an Olympic athlete. Cheers!
Any chance you could show me how to convert a bifold closet door into a pair of 15" french doors for a closet? I guess I would use a magnet catch?
how do you install a new door on an old space that’s been filled in. ? basically making the old door place again
What do I do if I have a new door, 4.5 inch jamb, but true 2x4 framing (4 inch on the flat not 3.5 inches) and half inch sheetrock on each side.
Any real disadvantage to getting rid of that hardware that goes around the latch instead of chiseling - just wondering if it makes the latch more likely to break through that remaining 1/8" edge if the door gets pushed too hard.
Hi Caleb, that is a standard installation in all new homes. Cheers!
Seriously Jeff you owe it to yourself to buy a hinge jig kit, to be used with a router. So much easier and better results. Check out the milescraft hingemate set.
Buying my fist house and I can’t wait to get in there and tear the whole thing up trying to following your tutorials
Hi Natalie, How Exciting for you! I would love to get pics and updates along with any questions you might have along the way. We are going to start a new service on TH-cam in the members area to be announced soon. I will be spending time with members going over tips for buying wholesale and a whole bunch of other insider info to help renovators such as yourself get the maximum results and return. Stay tuned.
how do you check for CIA BUGS in your house and then track those people down to remove there headz? is there an app for that?
A bit late to the party but was just trying to fix my warped interior hollow door. It won't close because the bottom of the door is hitting the outside door jamb. I did the warp door test and it is the mid to top part of the door that is warped inwards (towards the inside of the room). Should I change the whole door or try to straighten the door to save hassle? Not sure how to straighten it out other than putting weight on the warped end? Please help thanks.
Nice one....although, how you aren't deaf and blind is beyond me, but it will happen at some point.
It would-be be so much easier if america goes metric also 😂 but nice diy tutorial again.....greetings again from the Netherlands
I kind of like dealing with small numbers at this point. plus it keep the mind sharp doing fraction all day long. Cheers to the Netherlands!
I served my apprenticeship as a carpenter in England and was taught in imperial 8ths and 16ths etc, I still use it along side metric it depends on the situation. Carpentry imperial, kitchen installation metric. Keeping the old school alive.
Just did an install like you're doing here and left a 1/8th in gap at the top as you did. Unfortunately, the customer could see a crack at the top of the door because the old doorstop was too thin. Try as I could, They saw it as my cutting the door short. There's no pleasing some people
Sorry bud, you lost my vote with the chisel and when you ran that straight blade all raggedy to do the hinge what a hack job.
Flippin Ech....going to hang a door today....need to purchase some tools n stuff me thinks 😮
I would have left a bigger gap on the side where the door closes. Old house contract and expand like crazy!
You get far too near to your meat and potatoes with sharp implements. Look after that equipment! Good tips on the videos.
Does anyone know the name of the kit to install that helps you cut the doorknob hole to match existing switchplate?
Love your videos....lots of remodeling in my home...blessed to have a contractor as good as you.
Hi Judy, I am the blessed one here. great to have viewers who get into the comments on new videos. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Had both bathrooms remodeled...then 4 weeks a clog in sewage line from house to street....UGH.....roto rooter destroyed my home during their tear out.....all put back and so happy to have my house back.
Can I use a table saw instead to trim it down?
maybe if you have a little help. a little awkward! Cheers!

Can you do a video on replacing a 34x82 exterior door with a 36x82?
Can you list all of the tools you used in this video, including the door knob kit? Thanks!
Do you mention all the reasons not to keep the door to the owners and they still want it? maybe cost?
