- This is how I install a pre-hung door in under 10 minutes. I am sure there are plenty of other great ways to install a pre-hung door, and feel free to drop them down below in the comments. Installing a door takes very few tools, and once you have installed a couple using this technique, you too could do it in under 10 minutes.

My 35 years of hanging door gives this a thumbs up. There are nuances not covered but straight forward and correct. Nice demo young man. Incorporating elevation control lines for whole room or whole house door installation projects is a nice tool when trim head alignments matter.
With Ryan's ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!
My dad showed me how to hang a door in the late 60's. Cut and build the jamb, mortise the Butts, drill for the knobs and latches, mortise the keepers, plane the door edges for the reveal then set the door. Still have the mortising tools, drill guides and braces and bits. I LOVE pre-hung doors. I liked the "pump shim", Kyle. reminds me of the vehicle door expander locksmiths use to get into a locked car doors. Nice job. I DO have "level envy" by the way. ;-)
I have the same air shim and I have used mine to get into my own vehicle as well!
great attention to detail on a "small" job - makes a big difference. door swings true, and solid latch when closed with no effort.
You should be proud. Doing excellent, cutting edge work in the greater Chicago-land area. People don’t think about Chicago’s importance in our industrial revolution but, you kind of showcase our regional gain from this huge influx of money and material. Do it right and everyone wins.
I almost skipped this video, thinking... jusy another door install video... But, glad I watched it. I don't know how I've watched so many, done a few, and yet, saw something new. Thanks for the video!
That’s the goal. Thanks for the feedback
Like the video. Nice to see a craftsman on here that actually knows what he is doing and takes pride in his work. I hang my doors much the same way. One difference I do with my shins. Once I get the jambs where I want. I shoot 2 nails under the shims first. This does 2 things. First it helps hold the shins in place. Then I check my reveal to make sure it is perfect. The second thing it does is it gives you the ability to move the shins slightly if you need to make the reveal better. Shooting the first 2 nails under the shins allows you todo this. Once it is perfect, shoot2 more nails through the shins, one on each side of the stop. I also agree with shins right behind the long screws. I also use 5 sets of shims on the hinge side. Adds more support, especially for solid core doors. That’s my 2 cents.
I love it! Quick and to the point. I like the "no fluff" approach. Thank you!
Nice .i have wanted one of those air bags just didn't know what I would use it for. I have all kinds of ideas now . In the past I installed doors for Home Depot in Myrtle Beach SC. I would install over a thousand doors a year.working by myself I can see how that air shim bag thing would have made things a lot easer. Love this kind of content. Thanks
Can't be easy installing for them, I run into so many old homes with bad framing and siding, u Know what I'm saying, u must have some good tricks.
Mister z , your right and people wan to buy the cheapest door they can get and want it to preform like upper end . Some times I would get a new residential complex and get an order for 15 or 20 storm doors ,just go from one house to the next no driving, that was the good $$$.
@@rodpotts2666 , they want cheap doors and u hope they ain't damaged when u get them and u hope the brick molding is square for the storm doors on existing doors installed by someone else, or it's all coming off, I use my battery operated 15 guage nailer like crazy , it saved time, I quit using 16 guage, I never see the point anymore.
I work for a window/door replacement company but I saw a few good things here. I've never seen the pump bag used before so that's a nice trick. I can always just eye the reveal bc I've been doing it for years. Always shim your hinges so your lag screws can bite it and always start at bottom hinge first. No trim makes it easier(when it come to replacements) bc the walls are not usually level. Mortiseing your strike and catches can be a pain but worth taking your time to do it right. I also always pre-drill the screws for them. Just makes it easier. Definitely a solid video for ppl trying to do it themselves tho
Walls are not usually level? With what? The ceiling and floor?
Nothing like a great chisel montage, so satisfying when it's like butter
How great to watch a craftsman, who takes pride in using the right tools that are available today to do an extraordinary professional job. Thank you!
Are you checking the doors blood pressure
Last time i hung a door i was way more concerned with my OWN blood pressure. Hoping this vid will make this time a btr experience.
@@jasonroos5781 to 😝
I've been watching other videos and didn't come across one that tacked two corner pieces to help the dang door from falling through the other side. That helps greatly. Thank you.
Helped a lot. We get something out of all your videos. Keep them coming. Love your attention to detail and how you approach your work. You guys are the best.
Did A lot of doors back in the day trimming. For latch I built a jig for my rotozip. Worked like a charm.
For which size/brand/shape/thickness?
Thanks for making this. I helped a buddy of mine hang a door this weekend and this video was our guide. Keep it up man!
Fellow contractor here. Loved seeing the simple tips here. Like it great job brother!
Great install video. Not sure if this was a HC or SC door but on SC doors especially if they are 8' I would use shims located above and below each hinge and also in the middle, then as close to the bottom as possible. The more shims the better. (How many of us remember as kids grabbing door knobs on each side and hanging on for a fun ride? Also, shims must be perpendicular to the plane of the door, "big mistake most people do". Check to be sure to if the strike plate is aligned with the mortise. Most pre hung door companies fail at this and I can't over emphases this enough because you want your door to close and the latch to be aligned. Make sure to open and close the door many times during every adjustment and check how the door fits against the stop. I recommend to remove door hinges and use long 2.5" fasten screws behind it so that they are hidden. Many times painters will remove door hinges for painting that installers used a set screw (s) from hinges which upon reinstalling will cause door alignment/ sagging issues. I also use a "stepped pipe wedge gauge" (amazon) to measure the gap between door and jamb opposite hinge side ESPICALLY at the top corner for a 1/8" - 5/32" gap for humid regions (Southern US) to compensate over time for Hinge barrel slop. (Door pins wear over time and will cause the door to drop). Lastly, you want to leave a 1" gap between door and floor for HVAC circulation flow unless the room has a return air duct.
Nice man. That’s a pretty efficient method. The laser level and air shim... that combo speeds up the process a ton! Good tutorial!
@Sig-man Fraud haha, whatever. The old “eyeball close to level” is reserved for people who lack craftsmanship or care for precision/quality work. And don’t drag McDonald’s workers into this. They’re real people who work hard and are trying to make it just like the rest of us… don’t be a creep, dude.
Never commented but watch all your content. Awesome attention to detail and that is where quality resides. Keep it up!
Being a residential door specialist, I give this big thumbs up👍
Good video. The blade over a pencil is a good tip. The air bag is awesome. I use mine to level furniture. 125 year old house!!!
My buddys got what's basically a hole punch, but in the shape of the door latch plate. I don't think they make them anymore, but man is it handy.
No tracing the latch out with a knife or pencil. Center it in the hole. One whack with the hammer and it's a perfect depth and shape cutout to chisel.
Nicely done when I use to do this comericaly we were told to install the shims under the screws that you put into the hinges this way the hinge sat solid to the frame no chance for movement but I have been out of the trades for a while and things change all the time thanks for your show they have put lots of ideas into my head for future things to do
Good job.
In a perfect world, in a perfect interior installing door world! Everything you did works. What about when your rough opening is out of square what about when your rough opening is not Plumb. What about making sure when you install the prehung door unit in an out of plumb wall. So that your door does not self open or self close what do you do then. What about when the rough opening the floor is out of level? You know your head Jam needs to be level. And production work you're definitely not going to be using a laser level to Plum up door jambs.
Retired carpenter loved that air bag .... slow and methodical makes it come out perfect🤠👍🔨
Ty Kellerman That airbag was a neat little trick. I don’t think I have ever seen anyone use something like that. It did do the job very well.
Ralph Woodard hey there Ralph I could see that gadget being used on other applications as well. Especially when your working by yourself 🤠👍
@@tykellerman6384 they are a great help when you pulled a door off the hinges and need something besides your toes to hold the door while you screw the hinges back in place.
Michael Kimmerly yes that would be a good one
Those bags are also greats for lifting and leveling appliances.
Should be the #1 trending door installation video of all time! Both the air wedge trick 7 the laser use are worth their weight in gold.
Kyle has style and with a minimum of talk, which kept my attention and enhanced my retention with less time spent on review. Thanks, outstanding tutorial. When's your next class, and how much do you charge per session? Rick
Thanks rick
Thought this was going to be simple and straightforward.... then the damn laser came out... then the pump thing and i lost it after that. Too damn funny
Considering some of the tools I see on this channel, a laser and that air bag thing are about the most accessible, cost wise. A decent DIY’er laser is under $100 and those air bag things are probably cheap AF on eBay.
@@ChunkyMonkaayyy well, anyone who doesn't install doors for a living and probably will only do it once or twice throughout their lives, this was probably really funny. Don't get me wrong, he did an incredible job and it was informative, but still a little more advanced for the average joe.
I install doors using a level, square and a small pry bar. By the time you get out and set up your laser level you could have hung the door perfectly and been eating a sandwich.
@@jimeagle1155 jesus- how long does it take you to set up a self leveling laser?? 😂
Right! Now i gotta go get a $700 laser set up and a $100 air bag set up to install my $100 door! 😂
I always pop out the hinge pins and remove the door slab to plumb the hinge side with a magnetic jamb level. I make sure the head is level our slightly high on the hinge side. Pop the slab back in and shim the reveal perfect. Also I always shim directly behind the hinges and strike plate to ensure that possible flex in the jamb doesn't affect the door down the road. Popping the door slab of the jamb on step one is especially helpful when hanging solid core doors and allows to cut the slab down right then and there. (I do mostly remodels hence the need to cut doors to height) I also leave a slightly larger then 1/8" reveal to compensate for expansion and contraction. I live in an area that has hot humid summers and cold dry winters and hollow slabs move a lot with changing of the seasons.
Love the laser and air bag combination. Brilliant!! I will definitely use this in the future.
Quick tip for self preservation.. don't have your hand below your razor sharp chisel! Hold above when pushing down... those things sometimes jump out and that may leave a mark!! Great vid again!!
Same goes for the knife 🗡... DON'T cut towards yourself! Especially when you have a loose surface. Keep yourself clear of line of fire 👌🏼
You, my friend, are a genius! This is such a smart way to install a door alone. I need to do a few and your video gives me confidence!
Gonna install pedestrian garage door tomorrow. Good helpful tips, thanks man 👍🏼.
I've put in a few doors and windows in projects already, but watching this video already showed me so many things to make the job easier and more precise. And I always have trouble insetting the edge of the lockset into the door... I guess the "sharper chisel" makes all the difference in the world.
make a jig..works better then router it.
After this video I really need to get a laser level. I helped a friend do 8 door and no laser level. It must make a difference. Great video. Keep them coming.
.........Just set your 6 ft. level against the hinges to plumb the door...no laser needed.
I've built, hung and swung at least 20 thousand custom doors in my life the old school way before per-hung doors were common place. I used to make custom doors with radius parts out of solid wood, build my own jambs, make my own mouldings and hang and swing the doors as well as install the hardware. Most of the work I did was on high end custom homes but I have done a fair bit of commercial work. The tallest door I've done was a pair of 16 foot tall doors for an entrance of a steak house restaurant. I did that by myself but each door was supper heavy and I wish I had someone to help me with that one. The more doors you do the better you get. It's an art form once you get the hang of it. If you want custom doors than I would suggest to build them yourself but you can also purchase book doors from door stores. You would need hinge jigs for your router, a hole boring jig for your hardware and a door beveling tool to bevel the hinge and strike side so that you don't get hinge bind and your strike side doesn't have a wide reveal and closes nicely. Also get a drill bit that is in a sleeve that centers the hole before you screw in your hinges. This insures that your screws are flat and centered. Another tip is use a sliver of wood to move your screw to center if the hole is off centered. Always install your jamb on top of your tile or hardwood flooring and not the other way around. You want to put your shims behind each hinge, on the top sides of each jamb where the joint of the wood is, on the bottom of the jamb and behind the strike plate. All other shims are for adjusting the wood if it's bowed or twisted but isn't necessary. When you install the casing, that's what locks the jamb in latterly and it won't shift after that is done as long as you nail the casing to both the jamb and to the trimmer and king stud.
Nobody cares
When installing the latch, instead of putting the post in the door when tracing the curves, flip it around, that way the face of the latch is flush and you can get a more accurate trace.
Yes, I agree. To be safe though, I'll use a vix bit and set the screws it'll hold the set.
To keep the door stable, I'll take scrap 2 x4 's make one 90 (with brace ) and clamp it to the door with quick clamps.
Love your videos!!
I would use my router and my striker bolt jig
@@dalebarker510 I’d have it done with a chisel before you even get set up.
@@cencoast_7.340 I use a router and jig there is no way a chisel is faster. Also if you watch the video his striker hole is not perfect. Do it with a router and it is exact.
Great video, the first I've seen where you show chiseling on the exterior door handle part (I am sure there's a more official name for that). Thank you for taking time to record and post this!
Having the edge prep done when ordering is definitely worth saving the multiple times of cutting towards yourself ^^;
$2 a door extra at least through mastercraft. but glad you showed how it's done
Definitely love the blocks in the corner to help get everything flush, and that win-bag is even more usefull than I thought.
Totally passing this video around! Thank you for taking the time to share!
awesome thanks Derek
Good tip.
Dude, ... Kyle you have more tools than anyone I know. a bladder for shimming doors. Now I need one.
You did it fine, more then one way to hang a door. Be proud!
i love this video because I can tell you care about the details. Amazing work
Wow. This was perhaps the best advise I have seen on the UA-cam. I will go fix the door.
Great video. I was always taught to put the shims behind the hinges so the screws have more to bit into, but your technique is great too.
.........No, don't shim behind the long hinge screws...because, in the future if the door sags you can not fix the sag.
@@D.Fie. again you are incorrect
The video helped me a lot. First time installing a pre hung door.
So tidy, that close at the end is satisfying.
Nothing beats a sharp knife - yes you did get a bit carried away - making up a jig and using a small plunge router gets the latch rebate perfect every time - I am surprised the rebate is not there already as it seems that the striker rebate was ?? no matter - Oh how would I like the telescopic level and laser you have - WoW please leave details of where they originate. Great video as always !!
Stabila
IVE PUT ON ALOT OF DOORS JUS AT MY HOME .. I STUGGLE MOST TIMES BUT GET THEM INSTALLED RIGHT AND CORRECT , YOU DID A GREAT JOB ,. I RECENTLYBGOT A 15 GAUGE NAILER SPEEDS INSTALLING DOORS UPM ALOT . YEA GOOD JOB.
Thanks for the video, we are getting ready to install some prehung doors in our remodel job. This will help me do the job right.
I have 8 doors to hang today. Never done it before. Thanks for the tips!
Good man for letting in the door latch! Everyone takes the easy way out with those friction fits, but I can't stand those. You went old skool with chisels and stuff! I plunge mine with a 1/4", two flute flat bit on a router. Measure the thickness of the striker plate/latch with a dial caliper, then set the router bit to the same depth. Trace the face plate and route it out. Easy, and the 1/4 bit makes the right radius for the corners.
I've been fighting with my door for a few hours. The hinge side 2x4 is twisted, so I have to shim it all funky to get it to close correctly. You make it look very easy! Well done.
That’s the worst…makes it tough to set even reveals on both sides of the door.
Great Video! I've found that doors are the absolute worst to hang. This helps greatly! Ive got a whole house to do. Thanks!
Well done. This will be helpful for me tomorrow. Thank you.
You should put the wedge under the door edge to stop it moving!! Also I screw the latch in the correct place, then knife around it, stops it moving everywhere
i know im asking randomly but does any of you know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid lost my account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Landyn Kaden Instablaster :)
@Kristian Eugene Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Kristian Eugene it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account !
@Landyn Kaden Glad I could help :)
I scribe then use a router bit for the striker inset in my wood vise before the door is hung, then clean the corners with a chisel. If you have many doors to do you set them up like an assembly line and do them all, saves time and the door doesn’t wiggle on you. I also put a shim set behind the hinges before I drive the long screws through to prevent it from bowing out. I like the stop blocks to prevent from the jamb sitting proud- using that one. Like the air shim also
Doing this in my basement in the morning! Thanks for the refresher!
awesome video for self installation of door. now this time is very useful. I have a plan to install door by myself for private gallery. really thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the detailed and closeup shots where needed, you made a simple project like this to actually look SIMPLE!
Use some shims under the door between the door and floor when working on the lockset so the door doesn’t wiggle around. Saves you from the utility knife.
Never thought about cutting the curve around the plate of the lockset with the utility knife to get rounded corners. Super
I install the screws to position the striker to do the layout marking, then remove them to chisel out for the striker.
Great video
Your attention to detail is phenomenal.
This video taught me a lot! Here's a couple other tips. Use a multitool to cut off shims. When you are mortising for the door lock, turn it around so the face is against the door. Easier to scribe
I usually use a router to mortise tho
If you do a bunch of these, get a striker plate jig for a router. They are like $20
One thing that has helped me alot: I level across the opening at maybe four or five feet. Then I put the prehung in the opening. Now I can measure down from the top of the jamb to make sure both sides are the same. Then I start plumbing the sides.
the Tom Silva method.
I have hung many doors in my 40 years of doing carpentry and my best tool was Tajima plumb bob always accurate and could be used on both wood and metal jambs.
And the batteries never go dead... Lol
You might have just convinced me to buy a laser level! That is slick!
From your videos, which I very much enjoy, you get your money worth out of that laser level. Good stuff man, keep them coming..
I’m a rough/finish Carpenter and it’s amazing how much I’ve found I can use it for.
Our High School Construction Class enjoyed your video.
Damn. If my life depended on hanging a door plumb, I'd have been dead a long time ago. Excellent video.
Cool vid man, pretty much the method i use, i've tried the casing on method and i'm, not 100% sure i like it ( i made a video of my first attempt) but i change things up occasionally so no doubt i'll try it again, one thing i do is use the laser or 1800mm spirit level and fix my hinge side shims before i slip the door in then i just screw it in and use the 'eye-o-meter' to pack the striker side. This vid convinced me i need to get one of those airbags too. Keep up the good work, cant wait to see the finished stone.
best video I've seen for installing a door. If you care to share the name of the tools used from start to finish that will be awesome...thank you
A blessed Christmas to Kyle and company !!!
When installing locks, I like to sit on a stool. That way I can hold the door from moving with my feet either side of the door.
I don't have a line laser but I just my Stabila Jamber set that has magnets at the hinge locations. Before that, I place shims on the hinge side that are plumb. Set the jamb in place and run a long screw through one of the hinge screw. locations. The rest is pretty similar. For drilling the screws for the strike I use.a Vixbit.
I always install shims directly behind the long hinge screws.
And most of the doors that I have hung always came with a longer screw for the hinge so like you I always shims behind the hinge
..........No, don't shim behind the long hinge screws...because, in the future if the door sags you can not fix the sag.
@@plow9133 interior doors dont need screws. 15 gauge nails are more than enough.
@@TheLosman38 you ever installed a solid core alder door? Def need a 3 inch screws in top hinge
@@justincunningham5457 I meant in the jamb for installation. Not in the hinge. Of course you need screws in the hinges.
Yes, well done. I will use your method for my first door install - thanks.
Great install. When I do my handle latches mark out with the knife and chisel as you do too. But I find that using my trim router I can take out the bulk of the chisel work and get a perfect depth without all the guess work.
Love the videos, keep up the good work :)
Routers great
Feel like a true craftsman when you actually get to chisel something though.
Nice! Installed a few, getting ready to do one on a VERY similar garage room. The thing I picked up from you was to put a shim between the door and the frame to make sure you keep the door gap right. The only different thing I do is double shim under hinges. Good video!
I would of trimed those jambs down seen as you not flooring. If I can't nail casings on first (only do it on hollow cores anyway) I shim right in the top corners to hold in position, shimming below the header can push the jamb in, make sure header is level then pin the corners, plumb the hinge side, then down the opposite jamb shimming to fit, then install hardware always taking care of course NOT to cut toward my hands lol, you had us all puckering up. 20 mins per door at $150 a door you can have a good day if you have a bunch of them. Love the vids mate.
The scrap pieces on the wall, prior to putting the door in was a great tip! For years, I fought with lining the frame up with the wall. Great tip. Thanks!
Case the side of your door that is flush with the jamb first while the door is lying on the floor. Then you can set all your reveal even by shooting the casing to the wall.
@@jacobwillis4937 that's how I do it also but I cut a spacer for the bottom out of scrap wood tack it in place with ca glue on pieces of blue tape on the jamb.
My respect . I am construction worker for 20 years. I use same sistem all the time
Wow . You could show my house builder some good things. My doors all need to be re- hung.
Good video! I have seen like 4 different ways to hang a door. Fine Homebuilding, Family Handyman, This Old House... you. All good ways to hang doors.
Steven Buchanan check out Scott Brown Carpentary as well
The most important step in hanging a door is framing the opening. I like to go through the lumber and set aside the stratist 2x4 studs. I use 2 king studs and one jack stud on each side of the framed opening. The king studs are set flat and the jack is screwed into both king studs. Much like a header. A couple of 1/2" plywood spacers help to control twist. If you use screws to attach the king studs to the top plate you can fine tune the assembly for plumb. Although I have never used it engineered lumber would be ideal for this application.
great tips
No need to waste 2 studs with extra kings (unless there is an engineering reason), can also just use shims in between your jack/kings to plumb/untwist your jack studs
I like how you can transition from pole barn to home improvement. God bless.
Missed the year lap. Lol. Great video though. Bring it back if you can. Not all will have the opportunity or resource for pole barns. But.... Don't stop what you're doing. Again god bless.
I like the idea of using the shin to ensure a constant reveal. Good stuff.
Thanks for the tips. Like the airbag. Protect those knees. I just toss the plate for the latch and skip the chisel. Fast clean look.
Awesome video... very helpful. I just wish I had some of the tools you used... the lazer is a must have... and the nail gun. For a new homeowner renovating a house on a budget its hard to buy the nice tools, so I feel like I gotta do the same job with twice as much work... but thats not your problem, haha great video!!!
Nice demonstration. Stanley has a chisle / stamps that eliminate the need for tracing it out on your own. Line it up, hit it with a hammer until correct depth and then chisel out the waist. It is a locksmith tool.
I agree with putting the casing on the hinge side before hanging . Plumb and shoot that side first.Make sure the top is level shoot that. Then adjust the knob side reveal.Shoot nails through the jambs.
Awesome Video.. Always looking for a new tip/trick 👍🏼
A gallon size paint stick is the perfect reveal shim since they are typically 1/8" thick.
The 5 gallon sticks are about 1/4" inch thick...
1/8 adhesive cork pads work great. I have a scrap of trim coil that I put them on to save for the next door. The first time u use them just touch them to your shirt the little bit of lint will make removal easy.
I was gonna make laser comments, but everyone beat me to it. Love tools, so I might have to get one. Those pump up air bags are on chip clips @ the orange big box store, but I never thought to use them like that. I envisioned lifting up couch or fridge maybe? Great demo.
I never install casing prior to setting the door. To me that would make the install process more difficult. But I’ve never done it so I can’t say for sure. I’d like to see another video of you doing it that way without any editing or cuts in the video to show how long it takes real time.
What casing you talking about
If there was casing how would it go in the hole
In the video he said a good tip would be to install the casing first and it makes it easier to install. I’ve never done it that way and would assume it would make it a pain in the ass to install.
Never. You can’t shim the door with the casing on.
I think he means make and glue your casing, then install it onto the door jamb itself and then set the door in place with the casing already on the door not the wall first
Yeah, he meant a 10 minute video, not 10 minutes to install the door.
Very helpful and informative video. Thank you very much.
Kyle,never push a sharp tool towards yourself.( chiseled toward your hand) but you are a true craftsmen.love the building videos not a fan of the tool ones.thanks keep building.
But then again do what you want since you’re a grown man.
I need to buy a laser level like that. Like the video Kyle!
They make a special screw centering bit for hinges that pre drills the hole perfectly in the middle, if the screw is off it pulls the hinge or striker plate with it. Learned the hard way
Yes, they're called "vix bits" very handy
very clean work, and simply explained thank you very much
Thank you for sharing this. Definitely a couple helpful tips I hadn’t seen. 🙂
