I believe the scientific term is not "plumbness", but rather, "plumbniscity" 😜 JK. Nice work!

Great video as always Andrew. I'd be interested to see how you bring in the low voltage cabling and terminate it.

Good looking out OG

Nice job thank you for your time and sharing

I don't think you can have 20ys experience doing anything... because you weren't using 256GB USB sticks 20ys ago. I'm certain the way you do anything you do today, wasn't done the same way even 10 years ago.

The design is the issue, for not having a one size fits all(or most) cable. If you can order the product incorrectly, that's a product defect.

I was looking back at some of your community photos and noticed you’ve installed some pre-hardware doors, what’s your thoughts on installing them over install on-site H/W Great job on your videos!

So, I'm not the only one who triple checks their markings because they get a tiny bit of PTSD any time they pop a hole in the wrong location?

When installed properly most of vertical device, cable/rod, works great, people half ass it, throw it in, half ass there door prep, impact the shit out of screws, when the install is shitty, there gonna operate shitty

Thank you so much!!!!

We stopped using these because of the unreliability of the panics in heavy use areas we switched to the QEL 9827’s love your channel keep up the awesome content my bro

What was the magnet you were using?

The 99 is ribbed for your pleasure! Cheers Drew!

You love installing them.. but I hear the service is a nightmare. After a building settles and you have to adjust everything and it sucks.

Easy money

Great video! Keep it up. I'm a construction estimator, videos like this are incredibly useful.

What type of cylinder and cam was used at the interior? Does this work with a schlage cylinder?

We use Alarm Locks and have been pretty happy with their customer service

Great video. I liked how you slammed the bottom to get the in/out plum set.

I noticed you’re using 18v makita tools. Currently going through a tool change for work (also door guy). Going from older hilti power tools to possibly makita or dewalt. Do you ever find yourself possibly needing the more powerful 40volt makita tools rather then the 18 volt stuff? Hilti was great , but not powerful enough sometimes.

Great video Drew!!! Helped me out on an install today🤙🏻

Great video, that helped me a lot, thank you!

Thanks for documenting these installations. I’m an architectural designer, so these are super helpful to reference for working on details and schedules. Your narration and attitude is refreshing too!

Check the frame manufacturers installation instructions. After about 30 years, I learned those spreader bars are used for shipping and are supposed to be removed prior to installation. I learned this when I complained that the bars were welded in at 35-7/8 and not 36" and some frames were "twisted". I cut various thicknesses of plywood "shims" around 4" by the width of the frame. Easier than messing with a big stack of wood shims. Surprised that frame isn't required to get grouted. I just used a trick I learned from you; installing the top weather stripping before the parallel closer arm. They were overhead stops and hold opens so we need to move the arms a bit but worked out great. It's like a game changer, thanks for the education!

Makita best brand Do you have Makita XSB01Z File sander yet?

Who is your door supplier? And how do you order a door with pre prep hole ? For example I am wanting to order a door pre prep to fit a Von duprin 99 with lever trim. Every time I ask my supplier to pre prep the holes he never does. I am just wanting” i “looking prep.

And charged 1 hr like me lol

when i do these i tend to like to screw off the hinge side first plumb and square. then swing my door to adjust cross sight accordingly.

Great video as usual Drew! Thanks for all the lessons!

Ever hear of the Hinge Doctor?

Super video you're gonna save me a bunch of time!

No need to read instructions that tell you to remove material for hinges, just do it twice.

The extra screws you use in the head lets me as a locksmith pull the trim off to rekey without removing the bar, which is nice!

Been locksmithing 20 years. Screw driver is the way. A drill doesn't even go faster if you use a round screw driver that's easy to spin.

Awesome! I'm looking forward to them. As a commercial door hardware installer I love that I can watch these on company time!

Nice

Great video, i have 10 of these doors to adjust

Awesome video Drew!

Love it brother!! Thank you for sharing with us I watch every single video you post no matter what you’re installing lol. Did you have to mortise out that “pocket” on the top of the door for the for you “flush bolt” to sit in or did it come prepped and you just had to drill your holes?

Thank you 100 this is a genius idea

Just did some Chinese off brand of these last week. Pain in the ass, but we figured it out at the end. Been installing in SoCal for 4 years and I still learn a lot from your vids. It’s interesting how some people have their own way of doing the same job. I’d like to see your approach to punch and dimple frames with concrete anchors. Thanks man!

Nice job! I haven't installed cvr on wooden doors yet, but I also enjoy installing them

Where are you based out of??

Great video man!

Drew I don’t install many panic devices mostly just maintaining them. But when I do have to install a new one get intimidated by them. Watching your videos and listening to your commentary has helped me immensely, the tone of your voice is very calming so when I do an install I think back to that and it seems to make the install much easier. Thank you for the videos.
