  • In this video guide we show you how to fit architrave to an uneven door frame.
    Most door frames are flush and it's easier to fit as all angled cuts are 45 degrees. However if your door frame is out of line then you will need to work out the angled cuts. This video shows you how to measure up and cut the pieces for the process.

    Awesome! This is the most thorough method to fit architrave on any jamb regardless of the condition or angle or plumb. Thank you kindly.

    Nice tip, but just for the folks doing this (dont forget to adjust the mitre angle on your drop saw....use your bevel to adjust the angle on the saw, if those cuts aren't exactly 45 degrees....if the door frame is out then they won't be, hence old mates video..hopefully you have decent 'indents' on your drop saw base) Run a test cut on some scrap timber if you have them to check the mitre angles. If you're using a Paslode 'Angled Finsh Gun...throw it in the bin and get a 'Straight magazine gun' as used in the video...lol.
    Great tip mate. Thanks for sharing

    Depending on how accurate your miter saw is you can use a Stratton angle finder in the 2 corners...also I don’t use miter fix anymore I find hot glue is better

  • @greg4272
    @greg4272 4 роки тому

    Yes, this is the right / fast / easy way of doing it. Gluing together the architrave and pin it on.
    Most "clever" diy videos show how to fiddle endlessly with all the measurement of all the pieces, and at the end the joints will have gaps.

    What was the spray you used before you put the glue on the end of the molding?
    Why did you have to send 4/5 nails through one area (top left corner) when applying architrave?
    Please list your glue, spray, and nail gun.

    • @greg4272

      the spray is the activator for the mitre glue.

    I did similar technique on a job for an Indian then he said my architrave wasn't straight and didnt want to pay me he didnt believe me that the door wasn't square and straight he took me to fair trade he lost and had to pay plus 15% because I stamp my invoices with a 30 day payment after that I charge 15% for lawyer fees tax
    loss of income to pay employees so in the end don't work for Indians let indians barter with themselves and Chinese always pay cash witch is a bonus besides the indians I'd say it's an asian thing cash is always better

      Hi Larry,
      Architrave is an interior moulding which is fitted around the edge of the door frame. This helps cover up any plastering issues near the frame and adds a decorative feature.
