      I only wish my builder hung doors this way. Or shoot, would have been happy if shims were used. Already had to pull front door apart on 4 mo old house only to find no shims. Meaning no doors have shims if the heaviest and most important one in the house didnt have them.

      I appreciate the unedited video, and I hope it's easier to make and post. Honestly, I'd prefer to see more "mistakes" like that at 2:30, even if they are minor and easy to fix like that, and even if they are staged. Knowing what not to do is just as important as knowing what to do.

    It’s great! My shed has been completed and it turned out nice looking and sturdy and it is way better than the sheds that many of my neighbors had put up. Of course, I'm pleased with the outcome and this Ryan’s ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans was extremely useful to me as a guide.

    I like the unedited format for relatively quick jobs like this because it lets the viewer see whatever mistakes you might make and how a pro would go about fixing them easily. Even if you don’t make all the possible mistakes for a job in your video, I think it’s helpful to a weekend warrior’s mindset when you’re pretty non-chalant about the ones you do make. Keep it up

    Loved this format Kyle @rrbuildings ! Something that I don't believe you mentioned that is extremely important and always my first step when hanging doors - Check the floor for level before you set any jambs!! If it's out, adjust for the out of level by cutting the leg of the jamb that's high. I'm sure you do this but I don't think you mentioned this.
    Great content as always!

    Great method when the RO is sound like you said. More than half the times it’s installing a door into an old opening many times the doors, not the same thickness as the wall for whatever reasons but that surely is a nice KISS method.

  • @aritchie56

  • @DoresoomReviews
    @DoresoomReviews Рік тому +1

    Thanks for the tips, Kyle! I think I watched through this video at least 3 times while hanging 5 doors in my basement project. The stop blocks and the laser were a huge help. The only thing I had to work out for myself is checking if the framing isn't plumb in/out rather than left/right. So I did have to break out the level for that part rather than relying solely on the laser. I blame that on my framers though!

    Nice way to install…. I started using trim screws because I didn’t want to buy a new 15 gauge nailer.
    Using your method with the couple nails and then shimming to your line worked great. Not sure why I hadn’t thought to do it that way. I’ve been holding shims while putting in a screw, checking for plumb, adjusting, etc.
    I will now just put in a few screws and loosen/tighten to laser line… go back and fill in with shims.
    Thanks for all your videos… you guys do great work 👍

    After 35 years of trimming, I thought I would be able to add some little trick for you, but you covered it perfectly, short of buying an expensive door install jig and dang it, I still forget to take those shipping dongles out more often than not LOL. On a side note, I check the door stops at this time as well, just in case the bottoms aren't parallel to each other. 👍✌brother

    I’ve been hanging full jambs with blocks like that for 30 + years. I have lasers but I can still hang a door faster with my Stabila. One recommendation. Set your door up on blocks to allow for your finished flooring. That way you don’t have to cut down your jambs later. 1/2” for carpet etc. Good video for those just getting started though.

  • @kellyinfanger9192
    @kellyinfanger9192 2 роки тому

    Always happy to learn new tricks of the trade. Perfectly plumb (perfectly level?). I taught a young man that term once - afterwards he would go around saying; "it's so plumb it's cherry". My kind of humor.

  • @Garth2011
    @Garth2011 2 роки тому

    Yes, you hit the nail on the head when you said "we did the door jamb openings" so we know they are plumb and square. That's exactly why you want to build that way starting all the way back down to the foundation, square, level etc. It makes every step easier and less time consuming as the build continues to the next part of construction. Had those door jambs been out of square, life installing this prehung would have been more involved and the video twice as long, no doubt at all.
    My observation with prehung doors or not is shimming enough locations so the jambs are solid with the framing as I have seen several builds where the door jambs shake and move as the door swings open or closed, especially when its being closed. Great point of view, thanks Kyle/Greg.

Just cant get rid of my Bostich air nailer. It’s a beast.. I was hoping for a few tips on installing door stops as a 1 man show.

    Looked great. I would love to see an example where the door frame isn't necessarily the best. Was trying to hang a door last night and on the jamb side the top and bottom are not flush with the drywall so that the door can hit the stop perfectly all the way down. If I try to make it flush with the drwall it is just hitting the top first.

THANKS!

  • @SteveBt-db9nb
    @SteveBt-db9nb Рік тому

    I am custom builder 25 yrs. Love the block trick. Also,maybe will skip the stabila and try one of the lasers! A great quick slick technique for new construction where everything's dialed.
    A couple things missed though.what about floor clearances-west coast, we often float the jambs for carpet. And to meet ventilation code. Or for out of level floors; or where you have height transitions, from say tile to LVP., or where the swing side meetsa rising floor. Also, maybe address the possibilty of twisted jamb or strike framing?
    I love the format and it's great picking up a new trick. My helper andI have 28 doors to hang this week and 6 are frenchies so looking forward to trying block trick out.

I constantly fight what I call “just get it done framers” who give me 2.5 or some 3.5” over frames! Oh also I like your method I use Ply squares 8th, 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2” , 3/4”, all @ 3.5” squares & those are my shims for the most part? Some shims I make at 8” long & 2” wide out of cedar post I buy and run on my shim jig and big cabinet saw in my converted shop/ garage for my finish contractor little business !

    Remember that if its an old house, or just bad quality job, to plumb the door in and out, not just from side to side. I live in Denmark and work as a carpenter, and have seen many doors hung wrong, just beacuse people didnt know their walls werent plumb. Otherwise, good video Kyle and Greg!

    Well done! One thing I like to do is take the stops off. Usually they come to the job tacked on anyways. That way I can nail/ screw behind them. Also when I reinstall them after lockset is on I can fit them perfectly against the door. Just my 2cents

      Most prehung doors that I do in the northwest do not have removable stops. For the most part doors that do are considered very low quality.
