    Best video I’ve seen on fitting a door and I’ve watched lots - it is worth watching other people’s takes, but I’d say you have the best thought out method that points out a few subtleties others don’t mention . I don’t fit doors often - and am about to fit 4, and hence wanted to remind myself of a logical sequence to tackle them. Thanks !

    first thing i always do before cutting to height,get a steel square and check from the hanging side that the head of the frame is square ,a common problem you come across and if you have fit the door to the head you may end up with to much clearance on the bottom

    As a locksmith you have given me a few tips I'd never thought about !
    I will say that a company called jigtech make a great jig set for putting latches and handles on and the only other tip I would say is forstner bits tend to make a nicer job of the holes especially on the start but spade bits are miles cheaper to buy as if you have normal style handles then work perfectly well as you guys have shown

Thanks so much for this vid, it’s so clear, got time stamps etc. What do you think about chamfered/bevelled edges on doors? Worth doing/necessary? I worry about splitting it with the plane but I think it has one of those grooves that you can use on a corner@@homeimprovements

    @heritage_carpentry 8 місяців тому +1

    The hinges go on the other way round. Reason being that the weight of the door is held on by the side with 3 bits attaching the pin to the plate, not the one with 2. It supports more weight which is why it’s designed that way (qualified Chippy btw)

    Hi.... Great video btw.... but quick question.... if these are finished doors... ie... no need to paint or oil/varnish...... then what about when you shave the sides of the door to make it fit.... you have now taken the 'finish' off... do you re-oil that part?

    Almost exactly the way i fit doors... Only exceptions i use a door lifter rather than bags and take the door off to fit the latch... I just feel more in control with the door on its side and drilling down into it rather than drilling at waist height with the door hung.
    Just personal preferences makes no real difference.
