You will not believe how easy it is to make a door frame! I have bought new doors so I could replace the frame in the past but NEVER AGAIN! I have made several door frames in the past and it is amazing how simple they are to make, a few boards, screws and wood glue and you are all set.
I made this door frame to accommodate an exterior door that was here at the new house when we bought it. This will provide a well insulated door for the new shop to keep the humidity out and the AC in this summer!

Great job Tyler. The prices of pre-hung interior doors are insane. I built my own frames also, its a little more time consuming but well worth the cost offset. For those who are wondering about the details of the task. Measure the door, add 3/16” to the top and sides. This will give you enough wiggle room in case your rough opening isnt plumb and square. Dont worry about the gap, you wont see it after you staple in the door stop and trim. Someone below mentioned security and the use of shims behind the plunger plate and hinges. I roughed out an extra 1 1/2” and used a 1x in those critical area vs using shims to get that extra thickness to install longer screws.
Thanks. I was just wondering about spacing for the door.
The 3/16" is the measurement I lacked. Thank you, sir!
Awesome advice, thanks!
Great video Tyler! One thing I have done in the past that help me out is to tack a temp scrap piece across a few inches bottom to complete the square as you are installing the door, and shimming it up then you can pop the piece off and dis-guard. It is especially helpful if you are making 2-3 door frames at a time to help keep your sanity as you move them around prior to install. Keep up the awesome content !
GREAT video Tyler. Yes, these things we default to the box store and spend a fortune on a frame that still needs to be plumbed and squared. These little videos really do help us and remind us to DIY - like Tyler does! !! !!!
This was extremely helpful... I used to get irritated with videos that didn't explain every step and every tool but now that I'm a bit more experienced and own all of these tools already, it was extremely refreshing to watch this much shorter visual on how to do it. Don't let anyone criticize for not having enough information - different styles are helpful to different audiences. The 45 minute step-by-step tutorials are annoying as heck to anyone who generally knows what they are doing and are just trying to learn a new technique.
Facts
This is such a perfect video. Great job. No useless footage I have to skip through, just *showing* how to do it, that's what I need.
Hey Tyler! I just installed my first (might be last LOL) door using your video as a guide for building the frame. It turned out great. Mine was a salvaged door, so I had to wing it some with the measurements. Thanks so much for the help!
I am a 70 year old grandmother and I was hesitant about doing this. You have made it clear enough for me to now tackle 8 exterior horse stall doors on my barn. Thank you
I can't see how this video helped you do it. This must be your grandson.
@@diyallegrobusrepairmods5585 It's a frame with a stop in it, not tough to understand.
Thank you for making this look so easy and straight forward. I know it's an easy concept but I just needed to see it done once. Other guys make it look like rocket science lol! Thank you so much.
Love this resourcefulness!
Let me show you how to make a door frame for the average Joe. Oh by the way. Do you see mythousands of dollars spent o wood working machineries, yeah I forgot to mention you need a wood shop with all this equipment also. Good luck😂.
First thought but still doable.
Helped confirm how I need to put together the door frame.
Could've used commentary on what materials to get. This is completely useless for my skills.
Great job Tyler. I love the beefy door stop with weatherstripping.
Very nice sir! This will be handy when renovating an old house, new pre-hung doors come with frames that aren't the same width as old walls and then one has to mess with jamb extensions etcetera. This way one just rips the frame to the proper width to begin with.
Great Job Tyler.....You make it look so simple. Not so much when I hung all of my basement doors.
I am just super impressed with your workspace!
Very helpful! Installing a new shop door myself. Keep it up Tyler!
Great job man, the shop space is looking great!
Thank you for making this video! I am not a carpenter and you made this very easy to follow. I was able to install 2 doors the casings and trim from scraps of wood I already had. I am so done with getting ripped off by wanna be contractors/handyman people!
Great video!!! No nonsense, wasted time. You got right down to it and made it super easy to understand!!! Keep ‘em coming 😁
You workshop is pristine!!! Wow!
Great work!
Idk if I'm using the wrong set of search words but this is the only well done video I've seen that explains how to install a frame start to finish.
Agree w others on needing a bit more clarity about how you installed the face plate and the bold hole. I'm trying to upcycle for home projects anf I'm a newbie so it's hard to find the right videos. Ty
I like the fact that you up cycle materials. However, it would have been nice to have you explain a little more as you went through the steps. Such as how you came up with the length to cut the jamb, etc. otherwise good video for someone a little more advanced.
I should have read your comment before I typed mine. Different wording, but hit all the same points.
Nice project, could be a little more heavy duty though.
I had the same comments.
You measure your door, then add a little bit. How much depends on your floors, if you have a threshold, etc. It's not brain science or rocket surgery.
Just what I was looking for. Thank you.
thanks for showing us such great ideas because most of the things in carpentry are easier to make but only needs to know the steps to be followed. Great work Tyler
A video is worth a million words
Nice job, Tyler!
Another good one! Thanks for sharing.
You da boss Tyler:) Great video man.
From a security standpoint, and just good practice, you should shim directly behind the lockset, and deadbolt if there is. And my preference is to shim behind the hinges too, so you can use longer are screws. Looks good though
I mean, pretty much ANY door frame you build or buy can easily be broken through by a very light kick. It's all wood construction.
@@otallono What Bryan said. I should know. I woke up one day a few years back to my doors all being kicked lol
Jeremy Barker behind the hinges. Those are your pressure points.
I usually cut the shims from hickory, or a similar wood with high shock resistance/hardness. Also, take two of the standard four screws out of the hinges and replace them with much longer screws, but with similar head appearance if possible. Same for the lockset, if possible.
these are all great points, ive done all of these things as a handyman,, but I would rather play guitar for a living.....
Awesome, perfect video. Brief and to the point.
Awesome job
Nice job Tyler!!!
you're so talented...thank you for sharing..
Super helpful, thanks!
fabulous! video i was looking for Thanks
You should use a marking gauge when fitting hinges especially if your chopping the hinges to both and frame. You set the marking gauge to the centre of the hinge pin then mark that depth on frame and door and you know to chop out to that depth
Cheers for the info mate im currently building my workshop and coming up to this stage.
Will try that one next time !!
Great to the point video! Thanks Tyler
That was pretty cool.
Exactly what I was looking for. Subscribed!
Good job Tyler!
Great video that removes the intimidation from building a door frame. I'll be adding a door to my shop in the near future. Thank you, sir.
Thank you for this, so simple...
TYLER! Awesome video!
Thanks for the video. I would more info on making sure the hinges are installed correctly on the door and the jamb. I didn't hear you say a word about it.
All I could think when I saw you shimming the jamb was, so I'm not the only one that happens to! Thanks for not editing that out man!! And nice work.
On big commercial sites they shim the jam as well. Better to frame too big before the doors come in and shim them then to frame even a quarter of an inch too small. YESHUA GOD ALMIGHTY bless you.
Nicely done!
St Joseph watching over your workshop is a great touch too
Good video and make note of the comment below about putting a few 3" screws into the hinges and lock strike plates which will make the door much stronger.
Dude, that's all that I was looking for. Cheers!
I like the way you did this with the door in place 😹😹 last time I did the door frame I had to refit it as the door hole was not squared to the door once I had done it, now if I had placed the door in the frame and then hung it I would have saved my self a lot of grief that's for sure😹😹😹 thanks for sharing this when I go to redo all the doors in the house which I do have to do as they are not wide enough for wheelchair access I will be doing it with the doors in the hole as well 😹😹😹😹😹
Great video, thank you.
Wow. Very good--making your own "pre-hung" door!
Brilliant job. 💎💎💎
Easy peasy. Ty.

great job and timing i need to put in a new interior door
Dood that was awesome 😎
Good job
Excellent video.
Nice job.👍
Nice build
Simple and sweet, just need to put some trim around it... nice work 🤓👍
Bravo. Old school.
Good work.
Now we're talking all kinds of tingly up inside! I believe you wont have problems with these door frames...btw I could not help noticing the nice stack of lumber there drying. you sure got things together there dude!
Still thinking back to some videos from a year or so ago with your kids playing in the back and they look up at what dad's doing...they really take in quite more than one might think....anyway it just melts the heart when they look up and say,"that looks great dad!!!"...well Ihave to say this door frame looks great there "dad"!!!
kickass video thank you!
Good informative vid, that’s a little more difficult than it looks but vid covered the steps involved.
Nice shop!
Excellent work greetings from mexico
nice job Tyler, i did the same thing a few months ago with an inside door, will never buy a prehung again....lol.
Great Job... I’ll take 4 of them please!😜
Nice job
Pretty cool.
Great video, perfect length and level of explanation. So many UA-camrs videos are way too long for simple projects.
Nice work tyler. I hate hanging doors.period,such a pain in the arse. On my shop door which was a solid core reuse store unit, i built the king studs from 4x4 with a 2x4 trimmer stud.i drilled the hinge holes out and used 6" screws 2 per hinge. Not kosher but very strong. I hate hanging doors.
Great vid if you have free door and right tools. Thanks for sharing.
Nice one, Tyler! The door and all looks great. Now, before you install the trim around the door, paint it orange! lol
Thank you.
After a big well-known door company failed twice to prehang a $3000 door (couldn't even mortise hinges to the same depth, let alone mortise them in the right place), I decided to just buy slabs and make my own frames for all doors in my remodel. It's really gotten that bad.
Nice job, so I subscribed
Great video! I was wondering what length the screws were for the hinges? Did they go through the 1x4's much?
Fun watchn...felt like I was there..👍
Thank you. Trying to hang a custom door on my daughters playhouse. I'm a welder not a carpenter. This made my life so much easier. So simple but I struggled so much. Ha. Thank you again!
Liked and subscribed.
Thanks for the Sub Jason, welcome to the channel!
Great video. Questions... Is that pine wood you used? What is the preferable type of wood? How thick and wide are the boards? Thanks.
thank you
That was great.
Good job. I hung 4 doors in my old house this way. Its allot cheaper to make your own jambs
Tyler awesome video, you make it easy to understand.... do you have any tips or suggestions to hang a pair of french doors in my dining room?
you blew my mind when you put the door on it lmao thank you
i like ur tool u use to clean the cracks with
Thank you for showing without all the talking of other videos! Love your setup.
Nice work and great ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉😊
