I swung an external glazed door up the other day and knocked the blinking dome glass shade off the ceiling and it smashed. Luckily the lovely lady whispered so her husband didn't hear." I hated it anyway so thanks" 😂
2 Man lift at all times! Proceeds to lift door on his own as he is a giant, Good lad.
My very first RC video was when he was hanging the green garage doors. He used the little air jacks to position the door where he wanted it. I promptly went on Amazon and bought a pair for everyone I know. I have hung maybe two doors in my life. Both horribly. After that, I watched as much RC as I could find. I feel like we’re friends now. I lead a rich fantasy life. Kidding!!
that's the way to do it. hung seven similar oak doors last week. flat on my back watching your vid now cos I put my back out doing it!
Blimey, Robin, those air bags are AMAZING! I can't tell you how long it took our carpenter to hang our new front door - into existing 1990's frame - & the door next to it, my husband says is a rhomboid - not a straight side! Might have to get my MiL to send us over some of those if I can't find them in Tassie (we don't have any German supermarkets!!) I can't belive how much we have learnt watching this series - been really fantastic & the house is looking great - so like ours - but not - boo hoo!!
Nice job Guys !!!!!!
absolute perfection robin
Ohh for a job where I could take my time, enjoy the work, and get paid what I deserve to be paid for. What a life that would be.
Which is the video where you show us how you use a rod to measure hinges for multiple doors?
Some great tips and a good job, done well! Those doors look beautiful! I really like the white frames, skirting and architrave, with the natural door colour.
Thanks so much!
Aint those airbags a godsend Robin! I use them for lots of other lifting/ positioning jobs too,excellent “how to” video again thankyou👍
took loads on board with door hanging and roofing from your vids. although ive always labeled doors on the top to what room they are for. makes it easier for someoen else in the future. game changer for me since i started watching the likes of your channel robin
Incredible series Robin. Thanks for sharing it, really looking forward to the next series’
Super video Robin-air bags under doors are a revelation -many thanks
is this the new look robin clevett lol 1st class work robin
Robin, you are the man👍😎
Would love to see a video on the drill and how it beeps when the screw gets to depth
I always use the airbags. pump em up set the top hinge, let off some pressure then it just falls into place. Lovely! Annoys me the painters being rough around the butt rebates and having to re chisel the shoulder lines
Really enjoyed these big build videos but i cannot help but wonder if it would have been easier to just demolish the building and start afresh. Im living and working in japan now and here they normally seem to rip old houses down and rebuild. The VAT saving must add up to a lot starting afresh.
Ed is two men!
I couldn’t agree more 👏
I have used my airbags to help a client open their wallet , however it slammed shut with some force after I had been paid , your right Robin when we work like slaves and get very little in return it does feel as though there is a serious imbalance , and besides its always nice to work in pairs for many reasons .
Doesn't help when a new PM says they're going to cut taxes for the rich and cut benefits for the poorer - let's get these over privileged public school out of touch idiots out forever as soon as we can
Times are changing Robin - unfortunately 90% of customers don`t agree - 30 years in the trade and I find the richer a client is, the tighter they are!
He's a tall lad Ed ✊✊💪💪💪
A super job guys and great to see how you aim for a perfection finish on everything you do. I used the same marble plywood in my own bathroom and I’m just wondering what type of flooring did you use?
Hi Damian, this was Karndean, it's a great flooring solution
When you rehang the doors do you need to use a slightly larger or longer screw or will the same size screw get enough hold
It's a myth that 2 people hanging a door will take longer, you simply work as a team doing 2 doors or one person does the hinges on all the doors the other person does all the checks for hinges on the standards. Then work together to get the doors swinging. It's more important to finish the last door first than to get the first door finished. Need to look into getting the airbags
Got the same airbags and wouldn't be without them. Great on refurb work for removing skirtings etc that you don't want to damage.
Not sure that the lad having that drill with the bit in it swinging from his waste is a great idea with all those finished surfaces about.
Hi Robin. I know rule of thumb is most on the post when it comes to hinges, but I’ve had complaints from customers with what looks like hinges labelled upside down. What’s your opinion on hinges being flipped? Is it really that important structurally to hang a door?
Would usually wait for carpet to go down before reinstallation, to avoid having to take off and trimming? Unless the carpet was already accounted for…
Just a suggestion do you use wider door stops on the wider door linings? For example with a 180mm wide lining and a 44mm door I like to leave 44mm from each edge of the frame therefore making the door stop thickness 90mm.
Quite often I do, especially if they are all different, I like that look, here at the Big Build we only had one significantly wider lining and it was away from the other doors so we used the supplied size
Just in case it ever helps anyone. My dogs locked the doors on my daughters x5 bmw with the keys inside. AA guy got in in under 10 minutes. Two scraps of ptfe sheet. Cats paw pry bar to start the gap in the top of the drivers door. A felling wedge to get it a few mm wide then slipped two of those inflatable door bags in an pumped them up. Enough gap to pop the locks with a wire. No damage. I had all those tools but never thought of using them that way
Hi guy's, is that door in the bathroom going to be hitting that shaving cabinet or vanity? On the video the door looks dangerously close to both.
a 6 inch door stop against the skirting should work .lol
Great tips, I use two viking arm clamps fine them very good for door hanging, leveling cabnits etc. Have you considered them or dismissed them?
I have them, they are brilliant!!
Out of interest rather than using a block and mallet wouldn’t the torque drive on the drill pull the hinges into the slot without stripping the original threads cut by the screws?
great video.....25kg...........remember the old bags of cement ?
Yes!! They weighed as much as me when I started in the building game!!!
@@ukconstruction lol
1 person to out the door in, the other to filmm=, can't see that conversation going well
Anything over 25 kilos is a two man lift.....I remember the first day working on a hotel makeover in Kensington, the site forman said "You, you see that pallet of stuff on the pavement, it all needs taking to the top floor right now." Now, this hotel was a very tall old townhouse, which had eight flights of long stairs to the the top....and those bags of cement were 50kilos each. I can tell you, after shifting about 20 of those to the top, i was ready to collapse...it was like being a bl00dy sherpa ! Even worse in a way, was taking 8x4 sheets of plasterboard on my own to the top, because it was so awkward negotiating the turns . Happy days....not : )
I was in engineering, subject to paint fumes, welding fumes, grinding dust, all manner of crap. We started 8am and by lunchtime you couldnt see the end of the workshop! Extractors? Yeah right not in the 60s, 70s and 80s. But as Robin said times have changed. Ive seen painters tying ladders together with rope! Health & safety now but for those thinking it,was all our idea, wrong. It came courtesy of President Nixon, along with the "ill sue you" culture!
That said we were far better off than the generation before!
@@gbwildlifeuk8269 The suing culture that appeared here..tv ads and the like...in the 90's made everyone a victim ! A very good friend if mine's father died from "farmers lung" they reckoned. No vents in cabs...or even closed cabs when he was ploughing and cropping.
Nice Robin, I don't suppose you have any tricks on how to stop a door swinging open do you? History: Joiner fitted the door and their was no issues, i then asked him to take a couple of mil off the bottom as i did not want it to scratch the wooden floor after which the door would swing open. He spent a few hours on stopping it and even added a third hinge in the middle and it stopped swinging open, eventually (though he messed up the frame which i need to patch). A few days later though the curse of the swing came back. He did mention the frame was not plumb by a couple of mil i am just not sure what i need to do to try and fix it, pack the bottom or the top? Maybe the temperature had something to do with it?
Try doing up or loosening the hinge screws slightly. I have a door at home which is out of level and swings open. The lining and studwork is out but I managed to sort it like this
The carpenter is probably telling you the truth about the frame leaning back into the room at the top. You could check it with a level, the only cure really is to cut the top hinge in a bit widthways towards the back of the door frame so the door will be plumb. You'd also need to do the same with the middle hinge and adjust the door stop back from the door.
If the frame is not plumb, the door will always swing open or close. If the top hinge or bottom hinge gets pulled out say 3mm so the door itself is actually plumb. It might stop it swinging
Bare in mind if the door is aligned with the lining on the face edges this will cause the door to sit off in the lining. Pull it out 3mm the door sits outside the lining 3mm push in 3mm sits inside the lining Stops will need adjusting and redecorating and more then likely need to adjust the keep. Check the rebates see if they are chiseled flat. Any tension on the hinge can cause swinging.
Builders are pricing their selves out of work!
Or maybe trying to earn a better living???
Bathroom door hitting sink and mirror... Ah now guys.. 😜
What a stupid way of doing it
It works for us, we all have our own techniques, how do you do it?
Why? Please explain
I watch a few UA-cam vids using air wedges. Just a DIY monkey buy picked up a couple. Great investment, windows, doors very useful
