Great to hear. I recently went to a Festool demo day at my local wood supplier. so many amazing goodies. Building these was challenging but fun. The key to big heavy doors like this is to make sure the jamb is well fortified and stabilized. They are having some issues with movement and I've had to adjust these a few times. Good luck and thanks for watching.

That's great to hear. A tip for you if you're doing the installation. Make sure the jamb is as secure as possible. Because the jamb I attached to is on a raised floor, there has been some pesky movement and 1/8" movement at the jamb results in the strike side of the door rising or lowering 1/4" and I've had to adjust the strikes 2x since I hung these. So use plenty of big hinges 4.5" - 5" minimum and make sure the framing of the jamb is as stable as you can get it. Good luck and thanks for watching.

Great video and I like the design, which I am going to use to make some garage doors. However, I see one weakness related to security. For the closing you simply attach a moulding to the outside of the right hand door. This means it would be very easy for anyone break in. Why would you not make opposing rebates or similar to make the closing more secure and fit the moulding to cover the off-centre gap between the doors. Small issue but my clients are very security conscious!!

That's exciting news. One tip not covered in the video. Make sure the framing for the doorway is beefed up. I've had to go back to these doors three times because her garage is shifting and with such large doors, an 1/8" of movement in the frame near the hinges can cause up to 1/4" of movement on the strike side, causing the doors to get stuck. It's a simple adjustment for me, but just wanted to pass that along. Do whatever you feel necessary to stabilize the door jamb. Go overboard with any reinforcement and you'll be better off in the long run. Thanks for watching.

The Dominos are amazingly strong. As a professional door contractor, I handle doors all the time. These, although large and heavy, felt as sturdy as anything purchased from a professional mill. As you saw in the video, I used many Dominos, therefore the load and stress is distributed throughout many joints and areas of the door. I have complete confidence, that when installed properly, the Dominos work quite well. Thanks for watching.

i have several hundred feet of 70 year old rough cut doug fir that i go from demo'ing my old deck... 21ft x10x2 dimensional... have been milling and planing it up (and filling the knots and old nail holes with epoxy which looks awesome) but saving some to build garage doors... sadly the knuckleheads that rebuilt the garage/deck structure didn't do it deep enough (long story) for the pad, so first go around i wouldn't have been able to even get my truck in it, then they dug it out, but just enough i could get the truck in, but no overhead garage doors... so i had to look at alternatives... ended up finding the parts to build a set of doors that slides to the side, and around the inside of the wall... so the style will be very much like these, but they'll have to be in pieces, like a huge roll-top desk really... looking forward to the build - won't be able to stretch the budget to a festool domino but Je Young has a vid for making a pretty awesome mortising jig... making the domino's themselves is fairly easy... or may just go old school with hand done through tenons. also have 3 exterior and 5 interiors to do, so will depend on which seems more efficient. doug fir is a pleasure to work with though.

Yes. Moved to Nashville a few years ago and started Nashville door company. However, those doors were for my neighbor and holding up nicely. Because it was a garage retrofit in a back yard, the opening tends to move around as that neighborhood has very soft, sandy soil, so the doors need an adjustment during each rainy season and that's a very common issue in Los Angeles.

@askillthatpays7 жыл бұрын
You can't have the hinge barrels on the inside and have the doors swing out. However, it is one of the greatest myths in door security that people will somehow remove hinge pins and enter a home. Try it sometime. It's nearly impossible. There are at least 10 ways to break into a structure in a fraction of the time it would take to remove hinge pins and remove a door. No smart burglar would waste his time with hinge pins. And doors like this are so heavy, they would wedge themselves into place and it would take 2 guys with crow bars to remove them. However, if you're still not convinced, there are 2 types of security hinges available that are low cost and easy to use. In all my years as a contractor, I've replaced broken doors, broken windows, and busted locks, but I've NEVER heard of anyone removing hinge pins as a way to get inside. Thanks for watching.

@askillthatpays8 жыл бұрын
+Croz 1007 Try removing the hinge pins from your front door and then remove the door, and you'll soon discover it simply can't be done.. Seriously, the idea that you can pop the pins and remove the door is a myth. The physics don't allow it. Oh sure with a crow bar, a helper and lots of time, you might be able to do it, but burglars don't think that way. There are 2 common types of security hinges in use, and they work well, but they're unnecessary. Of all the ways to break into a residence, popping the hinge pins of a door isn't even in the top 20. Especially with these doors. If we were to pop the pins, the door, which weighs hundreds of pounds, would be wedged in so tightly, it would be impossible to pull out. We have a saying i the door business, "locks only keep honest people out." If someone wants to break in, they'll find a way to do it and there are dozens of ways that are faster and easier than popping the hinge pins. Great question though. Thanks for watching.

+Croz 1007 I'm glad you like the doors. The idea that doors can be removed by taking out the hinge pins is a myth. Go ahead and try it some time. You'll find that it's impossible if the door is put in properly and is locked. In addition, these particular doors are so heavy, they simply can't be moved without the hinge pins in place. Lastly, anybody who wants to get into a structure, will choose the fastest and easiest way to get in. It would be much easier to smash a window or stick a crowbar between two doors. We have a saying in our business, "Locks only keep out the honest people." Having said all that, there are 2 types of security hinges. One type has a small set screw in the barrel that can only be accessed once the door is open, and the other is a small, recessed clip on each half of the hinge that prevents the hinge from coming apart. Both are effective, but also a non-issue for reasons I've mentioned. Thanks for watching.

There isn't enough room to move it, not to mention the fact that these doors weigh hundreds of pounds and you wouldn't be able to budge them. Only the dumbest thief would try such a thing. any smart person would simply put a crowbar between the doors or smash a window.

@askillthatpays7 жыл бұрын
That sounds like a great idea. Whenever working with doors that are this big and heavy, I always make my clearances much greater than standard doors. It's not so much the swelling of the doors as opposed the amount of movement they exhibit because they put so much stress on the jambs and that causes the framing to shift. Use at least 4 hinges on each door and reinforce the jamb as best you . That, along with wide clearances, should result in a fine door. And yes, always seal the entire door. Thanks for watching.

+Frank Rivas It's not something I do very often, but I have built a few. Each a little different and not terribly difficult. Thanks for watching.

My only concern with making doors with this method of construction is there’s no haunch, which means it introduces the dangers of large rails twisting and possible shrinking on the joint. I’ve made doors using the domino method with and without a haunch....definitely a much better job with one

What's a tennion?

These doors are absolutely stunning to look at . I think I am going to do the same design for myself if you don’t mind. My question is regarding diagonal braces, do these not require them because you have fitted a horizontal near top ? I’m planning on putting on my workshop and moisture is a issue ? Hope you get time to reply thanks

Where did you get your lumber and get it milled?

That product was in Los Angeles and it was a place called LA Hardwood. They supply and mill. Not cheap. Thanks for watching.

I scrolled thru Comments and no one commented your using beech tenons and not Ipe which Festool recommends for exterior work. Can the added expense of Ipe tenons the reason?

As you know, nothing related to Festool is inexpensive. I bought the beech tenons in bulk and use them for everything. It's not been an issue, but I appreciate you bringing that up. Thanks for watching.
