I do appreciate that. I wish you well on your build. I have took a while but had to pause to get my house ready to sell. Close in a few hours and then I can get back on my shop soon full steam ahead. Got a lot of ideas for the build out I hope to share also. Then comes the fun part and all the builds 😎😁💪👍
I have installed Commercial door’s and hardware for over 15 years of my 35 year carpentry carrier. Question, Did you check to see if the concrete was level? That would determine if your jamb head is level. There is a possibility that one jamb leg or the other might have to be shimmed up. A framing square helps determine if everything is squared up. On most hollow metal frames the clearance of the bottom of the door to the rough finish of the floor/concrete is only 5/8” so grinding one jamb leg or the other is not really an option unless you are not installing a standard 1/2” threshold. A 1/4” might have to be used instead. Good video. Greg
All excellent points. I am more of a do it and watch me and just since I started this channel trying to slow down and show how I do things after my first few videos and my son said I need to explain what I am doing. But I did not check the concrete level because I built the forms and knew the concrete was level. I also should have explained that most of those doors open outward.
Im mad my door didnt quiet reach my top header so they bent it over and screwed it in then i realized my door doesnt have a sil plate or any seals for that matter. Is there a way to put a sil plate in after the fact?
Thanks for putting up these videos. I am pouring concrete next week for my shop and your videos help a lot.
