Fixing A Rotten Door For £0.00

[@juneritchie2498]

My daughter's partner repaired the molding in my guest room for me and I really appreciated his creativity to make it work beautifully without having to tear everything out first. These jobs for the in-laws are treasures.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks June, I appreciate it

[@danmckinley6315]

There is a reason that outside doors swing inward. This puts the hinge pin inside the locked area so you can't just pop the pin out and open the locked door from outside. Most bedroom and bathroom doors in the US also swing inward.

[@nathanlucas6465]

Most hinges in the UK aren't actually very easy to take the pins out. It's fairly common on newer houses for the main doors to open outwards, apparently something about making it faster to get out in an emergency

[@everybodylovesducksauce7158]

@@nathanlucas6465 it also gives more space inside the garage... 😁

[@Toyotaamazon80series]

Exterior doors and windows that open outwards are more weatherproof.

[@essentialhandyman]

@@nathanlucas6465 most residential entrance doors in the UK open inwards. It’s for safety. As it’s easier to stop someone trying to force their way in, with a foot or a shoulder behind the door, than it is to try to use one hand, on a flimsy handle, as they’re trying to yank it open. Fire escape doors that open outward are for public buildings, where users can’t receive training on door operation in the event of an emergency. Eg a library,.

[@nathanlucas6465]

@@essentialhandyman traditionally yes, doors opened inwards. Much more sensible to my mind. But lots of new built houses have started having outward opening doors

I have similar jobs to do on my house I have 2 back hardwood doors which are rotten. I've been putting it off for a while but now Ive watched your video it's motivated me to get it done.

[@hdwoodshop]

Great video. One thing I saw is that door hangers plane the edge with a slight bevel to account for the swing when fitting the door. Surprisingly your “spare” door was repurposed in a great way! Always like how you do that. I hope you also repurpose that glass. Prob antique glass. Thanks for sharing.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you! Unfortunately the glass didn't survive the journey home!

[@007mavrick1]

You have drilled though the dpc. ?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Correct, but how else could it be fixed in place? I don't see any other option. Besides, the timber can be easily swapped out in future if it rots through capillary action via the screws, but I think it'll be fine

[@Pistol_Knight]

@@RagnBoneBrown Putting silicone into the holes before you screwed the screws in may have helped, but usually drilling through the DPC is a no no (ok its only a garage door)

[@Toyotaamazon80series]

Nicely done Sir, that said I'd strongly advise wearing gloves especially when handling glass. Extend your trigger finger down the handle of your saw, it gives one much better control.

[@ianwatkins3002]

Is there any issue with puncturing the DPC to fix the bottom rails on?

[@paulburke6515]

That DPC is not above splash height anyway so it makes no real differance and the fact that the flowerbeds seem to have clay piled against the wall higher than the DPC would also render the DPC less than optimal.

[@C4sp3r123]

Next weeks video....replacing the window frames ;-) Enjoyed that, thanks for sharing.

[@essentialhandyman]

I don’t want to sound negative but you’re gonna have problems with the new cill. Cills extend past the outer leaf, are chamfered and have a rebated drip underneath for a reason. Now any rainwater will not be discharged away from the door and will sit on top of the DPC, which is impermeable and will make the jambs and new cill rot or worse, track back into the garage. Ideally you need to install a new one piece cill, rebated to act as a door stop, chamfered down at the front, with a drip underneath, to stop capillary attraction.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

But rain won't be able to reach the new threshold because the sill on the door will protect it

[@essentialhandyman]

@@RagnBoneBrown there’s a reason external door sets always have both features! Good luck.

[@wooboonz]

@@RagnBoneBrown Water running down the front of the door will be deflected away by the sill on the bottom of the door, but any water running down the side frames might well collect on the top of the new threshold from either side, and possibly penetrate the gap between the two halves. Having said that, as a temporary fix in a non-critical area this will probably go years before any follow-up repairs are needed. Enjoyed the video :)

[@pitsnipe5559]

You’re a good Son In Law! I guess the next project will be that rotted window sill?

[@colindoesdiy]

Don't think I would be able to tackle a job like that, I don't have a Milwaukee tool box to help me out :-) Love the way you use what's available as far too much good wood is just thrown away these days and for a Garage Door it doesn't have to be new, just weather proof and secure.

[@daniel__clark]

I wonder if the sill rotted because water was able to wick up through the moss on the little walls either side of the door.

Says a lot about the different mindsets - on another channel, a recent video showed different ways to repair a hole in a hollow door. One of the most popular comments below was someone saying they would buy a new door for $30 instead... (They didn't take into account the costs of hanging and decorating the new door, of course, which could easily triple that amount.)

A £0.00 door in replacement of an old rotten one is always a welcome bargain. I have never made a softwood threshold myself but with some good paint I suppose it could work okay and if it doesn't get much wear it should last at least 10 years I suppose. I bet your MIL is happy.
