The fact that he had a piece of cardboard under his nail gun to not risk damaging the door says everything about what type of carpenters you hire. Well done
I agree but I’m more than sure he pays the framing crew more than good. I can’t tell you how many builders want top quality attention to details but only want to pay the bare minimum. You get what you pay for.
@@ykciR 100%. Where I rented years ago my landlord was horrible. She would do the same. Wanted first class service but paid for coach. She would get the most botched jobs on plumbing and work around the house. I’m like are you kidding me?! These people aren’t professional plumbers these are handymen! Hell they’re not even handymen. That’s an insult to them. Just dudes she found on Craigslist lol
Been in construction over thirty years, these days I’m mostly a trim carpenter. I bought a set of the door stud and absolutely love them. No more fighting or damaging the door to set it. Well worth money spent. Keep up the good work Matt
I don’t see why it wouldn’t work on split jam doors, I haven’t installed one though. As with installing any door there is always some fiddling to do either because of poor framing to much mud on drywall and many others, the door stud is just a tool to help you so your not fighting it. I have used the clips they sell so no shimming is needed and I’m not quite sold on them. The door feels flimsy, after the casing is installed you can still move the jam back and forth
As a trim carpenter in new construction for over 20 years, I've been patiently waiting for your finish vids brother. The things I see here make me happy ;)
We made some homemade door wheel thingys to do the doors on our house back in, uh, 1987? Just made them from 2x4, screwed together, with a hole and nut. Even had the shelf for the level.
I bought a set of Door Studs a year ago.... one of my best purchases since I work alone. I have even installed solid core 6' double doors with them no problem
The author does like to from scratch, ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.
Tell me if im worng here ...i know it makes the door level but you still have to adjust for the reveal...no matter how level the door is the frame/reveal dont mean it will be...yea its handy but seems to me like a lil bit waste of time...i can hang a door in the same time it takes him to put the metal clips on the frame...but to each his own
Anyone in the Austin housing market in 20 to 30 years, keep an eye out for this house. Matt will have to sell at a price that is close to the other houses around his, but due to all of the freebies he's gotten from this series, it will be one of the best built houses with more bells and whistles at that price.
I was just wondering what this house would cost to build if he had to buy everything! At least double, maybe triple the typical house in the neighborhood.
I have done a few projects with Gilbert many moons ago he's one of the best cabinet and carpenter guy I have ever met good to see my buddy doing what he does best custom homes!!
EZ-Hang Door kit, is another brand This was a rush job 3 guys less than 8 hours. Did 15 doors installed less than a day. Did last five or so in less than 15minutes each. All were trimmed and caulked ready for the painter the next day. $150 tip from the home owner.
Think you're onto something, pretty much getting a free new house with all these sponsors. I'm currently saving up for new doors and Jeld-wen looks like they will be the ones I get.
The next time I hire a GC or any tradesmen, I plan to state: " *I* *am* *shooting* *a* *Before-and-After* *Renovation* *Video* *for* *my* *youtube* *channel.* *Can* *I* *interview* *you* *and* *show* *your* *work-in-progress?!?* " . . . Perhaps that will cause them to do the job right the first time!
Unfortunately, most homeowners only care about low cost and don't want to pay for detail work. They truly think the low bid will have the same QC as the high bid.
I am still waiting for someone to cover how you get the door slab flush to the finish jamb... the ideal finish is flush, but I don't how the cavity slider system allows for micro adjustments where the finish jamb and edge of the pocket door meet... usually there is allways some micro adjustment required to achieve this.
Like most viewing this, I've done my share of creating and/or building plus hauling by myself to 2nd floors the heavy items like sheetrock, doors, windows, etc. Any tool to save the back and energy level is appreciated and like others pointed out...surprised no one else thought of this in the past. Kudo's for inventing this device. What is arguably a concern is that it took at least getting to 11.30 minutes in to the video to get an explanation and instead listen to hype and a sale pitch for the doors selected and the source. I watched out of curiosity over the tool not the doors!
Similar to a tool that piano movers use. The tool piano movers use, fits on the corners of furniture. You crank up the furniture, and then you can easily move the piano/furniture
Those install kits are freakin AWSOME! Worth the money. And the wheel thing would be handy if you do more than one door a year kind of thing or whole house for DIY.
I wonder how much of this pre-fab stuff is being installed by trimmers now. Never even came across this here In Ontario Canada, always routing jambs and doors ourselves and hanging with shims and a 16 ga nailer. I find the pre-routed stuff is not very precise
Killing me. I just hung two prehung Jeldwin, and even though I kept them locked/closed and the opening was square and level, it took me forever to get the door hung right and swinging right. Like an hour on the first and 20min on the second. Need some of those tools and tabs for the next time.
@@Josh.1234 I've never had a problem with them. If you had a very heavy door you could throw in a few shims and screw too. I just find I get my doors more level and perfect gaps
Daniel - how do you put the door trim on with the bracket and the screw now being on the face of the drywall? Do you rout out the back of the casing where the brackets are? Do you let it run out an extra 1/8 inch and caulk the gap from top to bottom? Do you have to order doors with jambs that account for the extra 1/8 inch on each side? (1/4 inch total additional)
@@VC-Toronto nope, it actually just lays flat over it. I always caulk and seams with my trim work before I spray it but it's def not needed. When I do flips sometimes I install prefinished trim instead of painting in place and they look fine
Besides the benefits of sound on solid core doors for me as a fire fighter is controlling fire and giving you a little more time. Time is a big plus and peace of mind as long as your doors are closed.
This type device has been around for more than 30 years. I made my own copying from a set I saw on a job site1985 while I was in the business of installing commercial doors. Even works on store front doors. Mine is one piece instead of having to keep up with matched set.
Thanks for all your videos Matt. Love all the info you share, especially working for a residential builder myself. Your home is looking great and I can’t wait to implement some of your detailing on my upcoming build. Best of luck the rest of the way!
Wow thats a awesome door tool! I need one of those. I rehab foreclosures and doors usually are getting changed. I have 20 right now in one project. A must have for me!
That Door Stud product looks amazing, you can tell its quality built. As a DIY'er that rarely has to hang a door, I can't justify, but if I had to hang doors frequently, man I would definitely want one! Any chance of getting them into the Tool Rental section of some Big Box stores? That would be cool.
@@Josh.1234 i do screws and shims to be safe, the kit helps get it up and straight, quickly.. You are going to nail trim to it, so its not going anywhere even without the screws and shims added. I have replaced trim in houses, where they only used finish nails to install doors...😳. They lay the door down, nail trim to one side, push door into opening with trim against drywall, and then nail trim to the other side! All the doors just fell out when you went to remove trim... none of them closed properly, but they still "functioned". Held only in place by finish nails...
@@triggeredtroll6466 haha well I am not sure about relying on trim to stabilize it. Solid core doors and kids who like to slam them will loosen that up over a decade or two. I would have to have shims and long screws at each hinge and at the strike to feel comfortable.
In order for any manufacturer to warranty an interior door all six sides and any routed areas including hinge routes must be painted. Not just bathrooms. In Florida we use fiberglass for all of our exterior doors so it is not as necessary to pant the top or bottom.
Who makes the door jam that you can pop in and out with the "biscuit" allowing you to change the pocket door easily? That's ingenious and I want to see if my contractor can do that for our cavity sliders.
Even storing doors "on edge" can lead to cupping in the door across the face. Falls under "That Would Be Bad". Less likely than leaning them tall. But you're still leaning them.
solid wood doors make a huge difference to noise dampening between rooms i have done both and the builders grade hollow core doors are like having a curtain compared to solid doors when it comes to sound when i was younger never needed help to hang any door even 3 foot wide 8foot high solid oak doors those door dollies sure would be something i would use now lol
You know, for trim, I like just square rectangle trim and butted instead of mitered. I did it in a customer's house that's the way she wanted it and it looked really good. So I done it in my kitchen and the wife really loves it so do I.

Solid mdf 1 3/4 door I’m shimming the hinge side on top of what ever those metal things are. Way too heavy to rely on the the bag of parts on the end cap of the big box store
The door stud is a marvelous invention. It's problem: Anyone who sees it will think "I can make that myself with a little bit of wood and some screws and casters".
Unfortunately the stud dogs do not work on remodel work for the most part. I install front doors, and they won't adjust to the various heights of the subfloor and threshold. I was very disappointed because it looked like a wonderful product.
It really does help. I never believed it until I stayed at my brothers house for a few days and he has solid core doors compared to my ''paper'' doors ! Huge noise difference.
At about 6:53 he mentions installing doors without shimming. Bad idea in my opinion. I have corrected many doors that had issues because they were not shimmed correctly. I always shim behind each hinge, at top where head jamb meets side jamb, and at bottom about an inch above the floor. On bolt side at head jamb, bottom, above and below lockset, midway up and down from lockset. It takes more time but I don't have call backs.
@@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb He's building it big enough for his family and their needs. Building a giant house where the walk in closets for each bedroom is the size of a average bedroom wouldn't fit into his neighborhood. I see nothing lacking in his house. His attention to details is what is going to make his house fit perfectly for him and his family.
we use lots of off the shelf HD doors. i dont really have to many problems installing the doors by myself with just a pinner and shims and lazer. But the framing is 82" high, right. you put the door in. if you carpet the gap under the door is .5" for padding + .5" for carpet + .5" HVAC. Except when I was cutting my door I was cutting past the 1" of wood on the bottom. I ask jeld-wen customer support, what's going on. what could I do different? Support was like, dont cut more than 1" off. WTF... like the door needs to come low, because if i can I'm going to put the jamb right on top of laminate or tile, if i can. then its just .5" for HVAC. so that's 1" difference between carpet and not carpet.
Hello Matt! Thank you for your content! I went to your site hoping to order a Build hat. I only saw that there is a contest. Can I just buy one? Thank you
12:20 door stop is not fastened and I am not surprised that it even happens on expensive custom doors. Never ceases to amaze me at the lack of care or QC at door manufacturers

Glad you have the funds to build such a big house with all the best materials.
That’s a lot of trim going into that house bud! 👌😁 pretty cool video.
It's the details that can make a custom home so much better than a giant tract house.

That door stud tool is so clever. Wrestling doors into place while trying to level them out can be miserable. Will definitely be purchasing that tool.
$230 ... good if you have a bunch of them to do, but too much for the occasional install..
thanks for the vid. There's DIY and then there's doing things the right way with the best products. I learn a lot from your channel.

can you add a link to those door frame clips? All the ones I have been able to find only attach to one side not straight through like the ones used here...

What a great tool.
Wow set's doors like that
First time in history a father was happy to hear a grown man say, “I’m here in your daughters bedroom.”
Ok , that door roller thingy is genius !
I designed a proto type bracket like that back in 86, still working on my doors.

I’m shimming the hinge side on top of what ever those metal things are.
Way too heavy to rely on the the bag of parts on the end cap of the big box store

nothing better then a clean job site
Speaking primer what is your opinion on paint primer in one?
Skeptical on doors helping sound when there is good gap at the bottom
It really does help. I never believed it until I stayed at my brothers house for a few days and he has solid core doors compared to my ''paper'' doors ! Huge noise difference.

Except when I was cutting my door I was cutting past the 1" of wood on the bottom. I ask jeld-wen customer support, what's going on. what could I do different? Support was like, dont cut more than 1" off. WTF... like the door needs to come low, because if i can I'm going to put the jamb right on top of laminate or tile, if i can. then its just .5" for HVAC. so that's 1" difference between carpet and not carpet.
Cool tool
Great stuff!
Ok! Great door, but how good is the door frame? Any door for security is only as good as the door frame.
So how does the adjustment work from one side of the door to the other?
Oh wow!!!!!
Hello Matt! Thank you for your content! I went to your site hoping to order a Build hat. I only saw that there is a contest. Can I just buy one? Thank you
Brilliant presentation! TYou!
Hey Matt. Can you address your plywood sheathing in your garage? Is that what I saw? @15:30 Interested to learn more details about that.
12:20 door stop is not fastened and I am not surprised that it even happens on expensive custom doors. Never ceases to amaze me at the lack of care or QC at door manufacturers
That video-editing is getting better and better. Well done!
Great for hanging heavy commercial doors in the knock down frames.
Lol "I'm over here in your daughters bedroom"
Is there such thing as a soft close door? Like soft close drawers.
Never get over the fact that this guy put his 3 boys in the same bedroom 🤯
