Great to see you call out QC issues. Manufacturers don't listen to individual customers, but they probably listen to hosts like you guys, which helps everybody, including them.
Yeah it's sad that even fairly expensive interior doors can still be junk. Manufacturers need to be called out because it should be unacceptable but they get away with it more and more now days. Hopefully quality will make a comeback for people like us who take pride in our work but the way it looks I wouldn't hold my breath, unfortunately.
Paul is really a bottomless pit of construction knowledge. This channel is invaluable
Only 5 days since the last video. I'm glad to see so much content coming out! Great work.
Less than that if you count the second channel!
Here’s the deal about watching someone hanging a door for thousandths time. YOU CAN ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING! And I did learn a few good tidbits. You didn’t disappoint. Thanks!
Paul saying ppl are thinking "what new things are we gonna learn", i learned something like 1 minute in on the first door with that lining up the inside miter to the saw fence, and I've been hanging doors for 20 years. Always had a hell of a time with short point to short point miters.
Your fire rated door sweep is fantastic. I've never seen such a thing before.
That thing should come installed on doors. It's amazing.
Hey guys. Great job on the garage/apartment! I love watching you guys and so does my wife. For the main house, I suggest you check out showrooms who specialize in home flooring setups to accommodate wheelchairs which typically have no transitions from room to room. Cant wait to see what you guys do in the main house. Keep the videos coming!
Paul is so clever with inventing ways to fix "wonky" areas in a build.
That trick with adding the screw behind the hinge plate is brilliant!
Paul is the Door Whisperer, so much valuable knowledge :)
Super informative, well demonstrated! 🤯 Gotta admit though, I flinched every time y'all fired your nailer with no safety glasses. 😮
Very clever installing the door swinging inwards so people can't block the electrical panel and also be able to close the door...
Reminds me of other YT'ers. "Yeah, but can he hang a door, Scott?" And Spencer Lewis of Insider Carpentry loves those clam clamps. Great episode and never knew those door stops existed. Learn something new everyday.
Line the miter up with the side of the miter saw. The side of the miter saw. The side! Brilliant. Literally smacked my forehead
Great video. Think about maybe making a shim jig for your table saw. I made one from a picture online and I haven't bought shims in years. I use all the scraps from my jobs. I do quite a few door and window installs in remodels and it's saved me a small fortune. Plus the quality of shims are much better than the ones at the big box stores. Just wanted to throw the idea out there. My favorite channel on UA-cam. Great work guys.
Yeah I need to do that. These were over $8 a pack
I really like that door sweep. I don't think I've ever seen one before, thanks for sharing!
A member of my family had one of these chairs and was extremely satisified with the quality price and comfort, chair is a great bargain. Ray
The last pre-hung door I installed, I had to take it back out and do it again the next day. These tips will help for next time
I believe the door bottom is called an automatic door sweep. We used them for sound control in areas where no noise could penetrate like scif’s. Never knew you could use them as part of a fire rated door assembly.
One more video in the vault guys!!! Always the pain, forgive me...don't all garage doors have to be self-closing? I know the first floor, yes, not sure about the second floor...
In my little shack in the woods...most all of my interior walls had knotty pine tongue-n-groove boards. I tried to give them away, but sadly no takers. I have a total of 13 interior doors, so I milled them down and fabricated 13 barn doors...9 standard hung, 1 sliding barn door, and 3 pocket doors. At Lowe's cost of about $300 per door...I saved quite a bit...enough to buy my cabinet plywood!!!
Anyways...watching your videos sure brings back memories of why my back hurts in the mornings!!!
Keep up the great works guys!!!
I've been loving your production schedule lately, especially with the second channel.
Very cool door installs. I like the fire door seal, that's awesome. I know that it must be getting closer to your official move in day, I'll bet you guys can't wait to demolish that old house. I remember the walkthrough and it was in horrible condition. The question is, what are you plans for it, I think it needs a ceremony or something special. TBD!
Paul's A game! The best.
This is the freshest stud pack I’ve ever watch at 7 mins old. I’m working my way through 3, yes, 3 areas in the stud pack arsenal. Ive never thumbed up so many videos from a single youtuber before! I’ve got some of the exact old tools and tricks but by far that’s the exception rather than the rule so it’s why I keep watching y’all! Btw, Brad is Rad!
Thanks!
That upstairs door seal is pretty cool. My apartment has a gap under the door that whistles in the wind, and bugs can sometimes find a way in.
You must be soooo close to getting the COO!!! There should be some kind of parade with fireworks when you do 😂😂
Really love these transitions and doors, especially the auto closing insert on the fire door. Nice to know those things exist and how to install them so I can recommend awesome product to my customers ( work at a great lumber company and love my job :) Thank you for the awesome content!
Much appreciated Natalie thanks!
Paul (and the stud pack crew), I will never click off one of your videos, even if it's the same stuff you've shown. the wealth of knowledge is too great to remain ignorant of. thank you!
Bravo!!!! Great info!! Keep these kind of vids coming. Thanks guys!!
Stud pack at 18:30 you could correct some of the reveal by closing that 1/8 gap between the joint at top head jamb and strike side jamb. Then check the hinge side to see if the reveal is the same after closing the gap on strike side. Then set reveal on the rest of the jamb. Another little tip on a prehung if its pre bored and doesn't have the threaded plastic insert in the backset hole you can just tape a short piece 1 1/2" of 7/8 wood dowel through the backset hole into the jamb to keep the lock side of the door from swinging around while setting the jambs. After hinge side is nailed pull out plug or threaded plastic insert and set strike side jamb.
You guys are slanging videos left and right let’s go!
We're getting a video like every other day between the 2 channels. Love it. Don't burn out tho!
I like putting up assembled casings too. I've switched to CA glue on the 45's. Strong as a moose and no need to pop a trim nail from molding to molding.
Now that Stud Pack is finishing up the GarageMahal, I'm looking forward to the original house demo in 3... 2... 1... 😊
That sweep was way cool
Get yourselves a corrugated nailer before you do all the trim in the main house. Use glue and your pinch clamps but then shoot a couple corrugated fasteners across your miters and now you don’t have to wait for the glue to dry. I have a Senco and it works great. I’m pretty sure I saw Tim Uhler from awesome framers using the same technique for all their exterior casings.
We buy our pre-hungs cased one side and the opposite side all set up and glued ready to install.
I'm digging the volume of content lately
There are products you can use to make red oak resemble white oak. Bona makes a product called Red Out, probably not worth purchasing for a single transition but good to know about for a larger project.
You should check out miter spring clamp kit. Super handy when dealing with a lot of trim and pretty cheap solution.
I've installed a few automatic door bottom Seal and the easiest way, I figure, is to rout out the grove in the bottom of the door using a full size hand router with edge guides on both sides of the door that you don't need to make. I have a Bosch 2.3 HP router and a Bosch edge guide that two edge guides can be mounted on the provided rails in the kit.
If you attempt this install, don't cut any of the extra length of the rubber seal on the button side of the door drop until the door is installed. I cut what I thought was the right length before install and now I have a small gap you can see light through.
These are great for bedroom doors to seal the door bottom from noise and light. Also used to seal the door to our media room for sound getting out. You can also use weather stripping around the rest of the door to completely seal. Automatic Door Bottom Seals can be found on Amazon for under $100.
Monday video drop?? Sensing a good start of the week!
My tip for planar floor surfaces... Lay your hardwood flooring first, then use your leveling clips for your tile after cutting a slot in the side of the hardwood to receive the clip. Thinset thickness can be adjusted to set the tile to the right height, just plan to get the finish surfaces close using what substrates you have at your disposal (cement board, ditra, etc.)
Forgot to mention, cutting the slot after the hardwood is installed, your biscuit cutter may not work depth wise, I've used a slot cutting bit in my router set at a depth equal to the thickness of my tile.
I’ve hung over a thousand doors and I’m watching hoping to learn a trick or two 😂😂 you never know ✌🏽✌🏻✌🏼👍💯
We use them for Recording studio doors. Sound proof
DitraXL and 3/4" solid hardwood makes for an even finish. Metal trim on the edge of the tile. grout between trim and tile. Matching sanded silicone between trim and wood. No thresholds required.
Iv'e installed well over a hundred of those " Gamechangers " on exterior doors going all the way back to the 90's .
awesome.....finally! DOOORS!
Might be just me, but I wish you guys would post your videos earlier in the day. It just always works better for me, cause I want to watch them right away
Door from the garage to the stair is backwards. If someone broke into the garage, they are (3) hinge pins away from getting upstairs. Also, the weatherseal/warranty on most threshold doors only applies on the threshold side. I would say there is a better chance of water spray from the garage side
Refreshed the page for a bedtime treat!
door hang/ Old Carpenter, asked client do you want to door to stay open, or close automatically.
1950s Carpenter would hang the door so if you left the door a jar they would close or open to your preference.
Rubio in the color “mint” to make red oak white oak-ish. It’s close.
Cool chair. Nice trick on the screw behind the hinge. Would you usually pre drill that hole for the screw behind the hinge or would it make any difference
great video!
Take a block of wood and a hammer and just smack the door stop in the direction it needs to be adjusted. Then brad nail it where it should be. If the now mangled staples hold it out from the jamb and cause a gap, take your block and just smack it with the hammer on the face of the stop until it closes up. It's pine, it will conform around the staple. You will never know it was adjusted except a few extra nail holes, and literally takes less than a minute per door.
If you hang a lot of off-the-shelf interior doors, adjusting the stop is a must. I go all the way around the door after hanging it. Though if you have pinched stop like you guys had, it should be addressed before hanging. Same method above works though, I just wouldn't nail it home until the door is installed.
Paul, your experience is so fun to watch….you have years to turn to….
You have to have reveals on doors because of the hinges. Maybe if you got some fancy hinge that won't interfere or you cut out your trim really carefully to fit around it, it could work...
Keep it up gentlemen!!!
When you do the main house if there is an AC unit in the existing house and it works save it to use on the new house as temp heat/AC
Surprised on a couple code issues-- the double fire door setup makes it look like a separate rental unit. Normally you would just need one separating the garage from the stairs. Also surprised you didn't have spring loaded hinges on the fire doors. Last one... inspectors in California wouldn't allow an in-swinging door that goes into the panelboard working space. I know things are different in Texas though.
What about all that space between the door jam and the rough framing on the striker side for the closet under the stairs. Also, is it important that you use spray foam for windows and doors so it won't expand and bow the door jam in?
You guys do a great job. Thank you! I am wondering about your rationale for not bringing the bathroom door flush with the LR wall and having it swing out? IMO it looks odd being recessed especially with the extra wide jamb. It would also help hide that big transition.
99% of bathroom doors I've seen swing in. It'll look great painted
It's easier to make a fully flush floor with tile if you use real solid hardwood flooring, aka 3/4" thick hardwood flooring. Ditra-heat membrane with tile can flush out with 3/4" hardwood flooring. Ditra-XL membrane, if you're not using heated floors, can also flush out with 3/4" hardwood flooring. I did it.
Real solid hardwood flooring looks better too.
thresholds... use your table saw. easy peasy!
Fun fact, wood glue actually holds better to end grain, it's just that usually there is so little of it when you make a joint which has given us that false perception.
I've never minded transitions. Floors get redone eventually, just can't really avoid them. But one thing that is a pet peeve of mine is quarter round on baseboards for the laminate gap. Just install new baseboards along with your laminate and have no quarter round, it's so ugly!
I always liked quarter round lol.
Ferda!
Looking great
Where did you buy your pre hung doors from? Retail box or a distributor?
You can make red oak look like white oak with a Bona product called Red Out.
Oh, for the big house, put in 2” advantech everywhere but THEN use 1 1/4” in the bathroom so your heated floor sits flush. I’m kidding! I hope they don’t make 2” subfloor. 1 1/4” was thicker than my new house!
2" advantech would be insane... 48" span between joists 😅
Did you not use fire rated can spray foam for the fire doors ?
Hey StudPack, Ive got a question, Why didn't you guys use A fire-block spray foam around the fire rated door; since you used the door seal, why not go the extra step?
Try 2P10 to put door trim together.
question for you guys... when the bathroom vent fan is on, is there enough opening under that door for new air to fill in the low pressure? or will the door appear to stick when jordan opens it due to air trying to suck in?
We have make-up air in the bathroom. Video coming soon
Wish you would have shown the install for the bathroom threshold. We had a guy come do our floors and he screwed up every one of ours.
Oh, I'm EARLY early! Keep up the good progress Stud Pack team, can't wait to see you get occupancy
IMHO not having a reveal on the window trim is gonna cause unsightly cracks. Seasonally. Forever.
Yep. I was thinking the same thing. You always use a reveal for the specific reason.
Woohooo! Anodther video!
Awesome!
Do you have a video on fixing a staging door?
Hi Paul. Great job as usual. I’m curious the name of the miter clamps you used on the bathroom door casing.
the ones I used are called Clam Clamps; unfortunately they're not made anymore. I put some links in the description for other ones
Thank you. I googled Clam Clamps. I found O’skool. Looked very similar. Quite expensive. 70 each. 130 for a pair. Take care!
Ok, we know Paul was NOT going to tear out the side of the door! How come you didn’t show how you cut of the jamb bottoms and spliced the sections on?
Nice video as always?
Jordan and Rad cut the bottoms of the jamb off. Spliced sections?
Good stuff! Can you provide a link to the commercial door seal you routed into the bottom of the one door?
It's there now
Hey Paul, I'm curious about the smoke seal being required, but there is no garage-to-house separation curb or garage sill.
The door downstairs has a bottom seal on the threshold
garage mahal?
I like it.
The guy who put in so many screws on the doorframe? You said it was in LA. Any chance he was a bit paranoid about earthquakes?
What happened to the porch ceiling?
Nice to see multiple doors being installed. But flip-flops? Really on a job site or at all, why in the world? 😅
Red out is a product that turns red oak into white oak. But it is expensive
Dope
Bro where's your Festool vac for the saw. Damn
You mean my guest bathroom door is not just magnetically drawn to the north pole? It was hung wrong?
Where's the flexispot chair links for $500?? seems too low lol
People are still doing doors with molding around it? Geeze! Looks great for 1970's!
Why no 2P 10?
Forgot door installation video link in description ;)
should be there now
No transitions and no thresholds? You’ve got to do a recessed shower pan for a Zero Entry shower.
Why don't you final paint BEFORE trim?
