Thanks Peter! That’s the best comment I’ve received!!

Thanks for this video. I built similar (but not as nice) French doors for a new build and have been struggling with whether to a) “pre-hang” the door off-site and b) install the handle/deadbolt before installing the door. I think you just convinced me to wait - to build the door jamb, hang the door, and install the hardware - until I’m on-site. Saving your video & subscribing for future reference - thanks!

Hey thanks for watching the video and leaving the comment. I also struggle with all the different ways to complete a job. I like to build things on site when renovating as it’s easier to double check the measurements and usually old houses are a bit out of level and plumb.

Thanks! Have been looking for detail on the process of specifcially timber french doors. So many videos on prehung aluminium frames but nothing like this
