This product works like a charm! If you've never installed a prehung door before, you MUST buy these. My father in law & I struggled for 3 days trying to do it the old fashioned way with shims, level, square, etc. Then we used this product & had it done in 20 minutes. Might not be 5 minutes, but it beats 3 days of agony!! Thank you so much!!!!!
Great product! would recommend! Great tutorial helped me do 9 doors super fast. The brackets cost me $50 at Lowe's for 9 doors vs $5 for wooden shims but well worth it.
Nice video. There are a lot of videos available for this hanging system. You addressed the floor being level a little late in the video. This is extremely important.
What if you have a door which you want to keep, and need to replace a damaged frame? Is it easier to put the door into the frame first, or put in the frame, then put the door in?
I am installing on existing floor. The hinge side for some reason sits lower than the door open side so door handle notch not lining up perfectly. Going to shim up door hinge side till top is level. This should line up door handle to hole in trim. Bottom-line, make sure top is level when first installing to see if one side need shimming up under door frame. hope you follow.
Pretty cool idea though I see a few problems... if the frame (rough opening) is out of square or as mentioned in the video, needs to be moved, shimming is needed to hold door in its correct position. Also, the new jam can move or tip out of position with the weight of the door until casing attached... and you're relying on the casting to hold it together... which mostly these days is mdf material... not the most stable stuff. I can see this as a quick install tool but not a good quality install... though combined with shims, I do agree it looks like a quicker way to do the job... I'll give it a try on the next job! 😎🚪🔨📐🪚🪛
What happens when the walls are not plumb??? Specially the hinge side?? How do you adjust that?? We definitely don't want a door that closes or opens up by itself right??
In many remodels the drywall has already been panted and textured, sometimes several times over. This increases the thickness of the jam opening. Therefore, when flushed to the rock on one side, the other side will be shy of the rock. With shims I can split the difference, but with these I would not be able to do that. Make sense? How do you solve this when using these in a similar remodel?
Rich Williams no problem with these at 3:00 into the video you can see the averaging of corners out for out of plane walls. The same technique works if you need to shift the entire frame into or out of the wall to average the jamb in the wall. Instead of just doing 2 or so corners you will be doing all bracket locations.
scott- o if you use a long hinge screw the power of the screw can “suck” the jamb/frame into the wall if you tighten to much. Throwing a shim behind there first simply stops this from happening.
I normally install all doors, base and casing before the drywall is completed. I've actually done it before the framing is in place so other workers don't have to work around me. Standard practice is best.
Rely on just those flimsy brackets to support a door frame? No. I like the idea of setting the door frame using the brackets but it's not done until the jamb is secured to the frame using shims and/or screws/nails through the jamb into the frame front and back. Don't rely on MDF door casing to secure the jamb. The mitered joint will never stay together.
So if the door is installed after drywall, per this video the door jamb isnt secured to any stud or header? How long were the screws the went into the drywall, 1.5"?
Which should be more than enough, especially after trim is nailed both into the jamb and the wall... They used to "case hang" doors using only the trim nails

One of the problems of using this method is the bottom left side of the door. The jamb is warped, and the installer didn't accommodate for it when he installed it. It would've been a good teaching point to show how to fix it while using this system. Granted, professional installers know this, but keeping the spacing on the jamb is tricky in any job. Good tool. I'm going to try it!
Y'all wish me luck I am trash at fixings things but with the kid on the way I figured fuck it I might as well get ahead of the curve and save some mula.
Leave extra time, replace everything if you're already in there (toilet running? Replace water line, flap at the bottom and the mechanism. Don't try to save cheap parts if they're clearly not working. If anyone has to go to the bathroom, might as well do that before you shut the water off. Because once you do that and pull the water line, whatever's in the tank will be on the floor. Also, often worth the monely to have a licensed worker show you how. They often have faster ways. Worst one I tried so far is the kitchen faucet. Trying to crank it on when you can't get to it (it's behind the sink), made my back hurt 3 days. Never fool with old stuff if you don't know what it is. Lead is a big one. Especially since you have kids around. Won't hurt adults over 25 as much. Houses built before 1978 in US are assumed to have lead in paint. You'll find asbestos in very old linoleum flooring. Don't mess with it until you know what it is. Get it tested. And don't assume if it doesn't have it, it's safe to breathe. It's not. Keep it damp (keeps dust down; also NEVER FORGET--ALL dust is flammable! Keep it away from sparks and flame, even pilot lights for stove/furnace and water heater. You can shut those off.) and use full respirator and haz mat suit so you don't track it all over, whatever it is. Cement/mortar is full of glass bits. Mix it outside, gently, and don't bring clothing into the house (tyvek suit/respirator again) or buy premix. Keep lid shut when you have some out. It'll crack if it's dry and you can't just re-wet it. Library has the old Time Life home repair books, too. Some things might have changed (building codes) but library should have newer editions. You can request and have it sent to any branch. Never take advice from people who don't have a license. Lots of licensed guys like side jobs for cash. Just get a receipt for taxes. And you meant moolah/moola, btw.
It’s a nice product, but for remodeling jobs I wouldn’t suggest it to someone that dosent know how to hang doors. There’s a lot more to it and all openings are different.
Hi Ken, we have 1000s of reviews (can be seen on homedepot.com) from DIYs as well as pro builders. We have found a person of nearly any skill can properly install a door with this system. Thanks for posting.
Quick Door Hanger (Official Channel) ok best to you. It certainly won’t affect my business. It’s nice tool, but door installation is far more than this.
MY comments for the clip manufacturer. the R.O. has to be perfect for the clips to work. The side to side adjustment is'nt enough. And the video does not show a close up of the reveal of casing. Its hard to believe there is no gap from the clip and the screw. Pushing the trim out away from the jamb.
Hi, thank you for good teaching, With your permission, I would like to upload your video with Korean subtitle at my channel. I am sure I will mention your channel for original footage.
Split-jamb doors are only available in roughly 30% of the country, mostly east coast (and most builders/homeowners don't prefer them because they have cheap looking trim/casing). For all the rest, Flat-Jambs (such as the example in this video) are the only types of doors available.
That exact issue can be seen at 2:43 seconds into the video. You basically have the ability to average corners in/out of the wall as needed to accomodate Out-of-Plane. Thanks for your question.
The only issue i see is your doors will bind if you dont shim behind hinges and give space and a reveal. you want an even reveal around all three sides. Other than that this looks like a great product i will have to try and see for myself
If you case the door out, then use that as your installation guide, you would very often get a door that swings shut/open on its own because your relying on the wall being perfectly plumb, which is very often not the case. With this you can see you get the door perfect, then adjust for bad walls (can be seen at 2:43 into the video). This gets your door absolutely perfect, then you can finish with the trimming. Hope this answered your question. Thanks

Hey Jim, can you remove a door from one frame and place it into another frame?
Does this work with exterior doors?
Frigging amazing i did it in 5 minutes and I never installed a door in my life.
Cap😂
Great video! Thanks for posting. I'm going to give it a try. I have 3 prehung doors to install.

Carpet yes. Wood flooring you should cut the high side of jam so both jambs are touching floor
Use painter's tape to hold the door in it's pre-hung frame before you remove the nails that keep it shut for shipping/handling.
Soo cool I love it

That is incorrect.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What size screws??
Also how much gap did you have on each side?
I had to put 5-6 shims in on each side to fill gaps. Going to redo it tomorrow

well, how'd it go? Did you go back to the ole pure shim method, or have you changed your practice in some way (and what would that be)?
I like how you show it with easy to mark side wallls. Not easy when there is a few inches of space to draw a line.
Do the opposite of him and put the level into the opening and mark the right side of the level.
very slick! I will give them a try on my next door job. Thanks for posting
Nice! Do you place brackets on both sides of the jambs ?
I hang doors for a living doing subbed work by the time I put the brackets on the door I would’ve had my door up and leveled already nailed.
What happens when the walls are not plumb??? Specially the hinge side?? How do you adjust that?? We definitely don't want a door that closes or opens up by itself right??
I went to Home Depot can’t find clams

Why is it necessary to use a shim, if your are using a longer center hinge screw?
scott- o if you use a long hinge screw the power of the screw can “suck” the jamb/frame into the wall if you tighten to much. Throwing a shim behind there first simply stops this from happening.
As a dealer where can we get some of the Quick Door Hangers?
Good ...
does the door close evenly against the door stop with this system? thank you!
J M Yes , you can install it perfectly with this.
My guy literally used a wooden shim at the end. 🤣
Great informative video tho. I'll be getting these when I hang my shed door.
He used a spacer to account for the future floor install. A spacer is the se thickness throughout. A shim increases in thickness.
3:27. Not for flooring.
You still want to shim the screw connection behind the hinge, it would flex too much without

How do u keep the door close without pulling the door plug...or ??????
Chris Salinas take the nut off the door plug before installing. Then take out plug after.
The door is the plug.

Great

Seems like this should be a standard feature.

These easy brackets assume that framing is perfect and not twisted 🧐
No it doesn't, the point of aligning each bracket to that level line is to ensure that the frame in secured in a non-twisted way
