[@mrthreewiggle1]

been in the glass buisness 30 + years of my life, have done literaly 100s maybe 1000s of these exact installs, with that said, you nailed it, step by step 100% perfect. nice work, great video.

[@techy4one1]

Great job man, can you help me understand how you installed it the glass part.

[@chrismak4859]

We almost committed to over $7K for a new door, but you've inspired us to do this ourselves!!! We've done floors, baseboards, etc., so we got this!!!! Thanks brother!!!

[@willow7412]

As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement kzbin.infoUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

[@cejkwo100]

Looks great but personally I don’t like a glass door for security reasons.

[@tommyluckhurst7367]

Good point

[@nopeasant]

There's glass around the door already, adding glass to the door itself doesn't add any additional vulnerability. A good security system is probably already in place.

[@marybethduke3263]

He's probably packing heat.

[@CallMeTonyga]

privacy reason too

[@zabitat]

Hi John. The glass is actually double paned tempered glass (like windshield glass) not window glass which is annealed glass.

[@rodankw]

Love this ! Always remember to paint the top and bottom of any door (interior or exterior). Reason one is for moisture/humidity and reason two is to help form a barrier for termites. Raw door edges tend to draw moisture and cause warping or swelling.

[@flahomesbyandre9052]

I did this to my front door a couple of years ago and it came out great! Added much needed light to my living room!

[@kwajymoto]

I've worked in a door shop for over two years now and one thing that will help in the future is to caulk around the glass. From what it looked like you got an ODL brand or sister brand and the seal between the door and the frame (the little black foam pad on the insert) isn't the best so just running a little bit of caulking around will help with that.

[@reginanox]

Wow, the entryway looks so much better now with all the light coming in! Also, kudos to the Boss for choosing that black colour, it makes it look a lot more professional and luxurious! Great job!! 😁😁

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

Thanks for the inspiration! I was just thinking of sprucing up my front door somehow! Always love your videos! And congrats on the new babe! 🎉

[@rarah4266]

I love that you guys went with black, looks so sleek and modern!

[@mikepatrick1027]

Dude, I friggin' love your channel. I stumbled upon it a few weeks back and I really like your work! I have used youtube to learn how to do so many things in my own house, but your channel is MY FAVORITE by far. Keep the great stuff coming!

[@jinniema]

Yes. You have just given me an idea for the back door plus making a door for my short side porch door. Perfect timing.

[@zabitat]

Hi Jinnie. We'd love to help you out with your project. Let us know if you have any questions.

[@LadyLuvGemStones]

💖💖💖💖💖 what a difference it make, the entrance looks bright 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ebonycarter76]

What a wonderful man ❤his wife should be very proud of him what a wonderful job looks lovely

[@pabenracosta]

I wish you would have done this about 1 month ago, LOL!!!! I like the short cut with the circular saw, that would've helped a bit. I installed the high impact glass which was pretty heavy to say the least. I love the way it came out. You inspire me to try all kinds of projects, keep it up please!!!

[@jennabassil6108]

Love this channel! Showing a little bit of nerves here and there makes it oh-so-relatable ... maybe I might just have a snowball’s chance at a cool glass door by my own hands without an expensive post-diy-flop rush to the hardware store before closing time. Maybe... haha! The list of tools is particularly kick ass. Your time to post it is much appreciated.

[@BigKeith510]

I am for sure doing this. I have been wanting a glass door but didn't want to spend the money or fuss with resizing a door in my 80 year old house. I just got a track saw will be perfect for this. Thank you for the video.

[@tls0501]

Wow! What a difference. Looks great!

[@betsystratton1175]

Looks really nice! Love the black trim vs. the white, good call

[@Trippeltuning]

I love how your house transformed😲 I've starded watching sinsce you've painted your whole outdoors and I love your work so much!!

[@chucksracingchannel377]

I bought a door with a glass insert in the middle..love it...that looked easy to do, great job! We have a security heavy metal screen door though, so it kinda defeats having a nice pretty door, oh well. Safety first, right?!

[@puneetsss5]

Dude I'm buying myself a dump and renoing it because of you.

[@Thanos0001]

Outstanding work. It makes such a difference.

[@meme7591]

You have totally and completely inspired me! I would have put 3M tape on the molding before I put the window down and I say this as a person who has worked in a window factory.

[@TheWhataman00]

Dude, this is my FAVORITE DIY channel! Love your style! Keep up the great work!

[@maggiesue4825]

Really sets off your entry! Beautiful!!

[@nourih9420]

Only pure passion can drive a person to do what he is doing. My respect to all these ppl... 💕

[@chrisstigas7534]

Alex, great video - the door looks terrific. My first step in this project would be buying a backup door in case I botch the original one!

[@erichargrove2287]

Love that you learned to do all the jig cuts on the second side first a you didn't keep switching saws. 👍👍👍

[@nosaj03]

Great vid! Grats to you and your family on the new bundle of joy! Very Blessed!

[@kermaniriarte7541]

I did the same thing but used a more contemporary style and the glass is a bit more privacy. Absolutely love zabitat

[@zabitat]

Glad to hear it!!

[@traviluther2808]

Your inspiring me to reach your level of experience with all your knowledge and tools 🤘🤘🤘

[@crimsonpotatogod7465]

i did this myself and painted it midnight blue! And it turned out amazing!! Thank you Mr.Build it! :D

[@marilynmorgan5526]

You are amazing, I love this DYI for the front door... it beautiful!

[@paulziiee]

I like it but i couldn’t hide from anyone with a glass front door

[@clearlybrowsing]

you can frost it, get those really nice films - pretty cheap

[@chauntem.8841]

My thoughts exactly, I've 3 kids that alone was like uhhh?🤔😬🤔

[@Ammmm18462817mm]

That’s where his time at the shooting range comes in

[@robertc49]

Gated Community, Friendly neighbors with guns. There's some glass that can be fogged with the flick of a switch. On/Off

[@juliemoran2365]

Love it! Looks beautiful!

[@paulinejuarez3115]

Black & white classic looks very nice.have a good day.

[@wifi2166]

[@bryanzecena8318]

🤣

[@lifewithoutstress2684]

So true!! 😂

[@Zacharythorsen]

Jesus Christ died for all of our sins. He died the death we all deserved. He was the perfect one who never sinned once, but he loved us so much he decided to die for us so our sins would be paid for and we can enter the Kingdom of Heaven before God the Father blamelessly. He is the living son of God who wants to know us and have a personal relationship with us. No matter what you have done no matter how far gone you think you are Jesus can and will save you. All you have to do is confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. Believe that he died on the cross for your sins and had a bodily resurrection 3 days later. We cannot be saved by our works but by faith in Christ alone. Repent and turn to Christ. You will have joy, happiness, love, and peace beyond understanding.

[@annerodriguez8066]

That’s an incredible transformation to your entry! Love the check-in for the color 😊. Comparative to the big box stores the cost is a fraction, not to mention the number of options to pick from and install time is wayyyy less that replacing the door and jamb.

[@orlandorymer2507]

Great Job !! Came out beautiful! 😻 Thanks for your guidance 🙏🏽

[@supermariobros.526]

Wow, very nice, and congratulations on the baby girl.

[@chakavaught2765]

Wow!! You did a great job!

[@Os-vr6qc]

Beautiful project

[@danefredrickson5682]

I love watching these videos. i want to try some of these projects

[@-DIYPRO-]

I was just looking at doors this weekend! Our wives must be on the same wavelength. Never knew you could just put an insert in there.

[@ecorico22]

Imagine living with the confidence no one would break in or come creeping around.

[@bryanzecena8318]

I was about to say this lol he low key keeps the Fn on him

[@devious1gaming]

After thinking thru why he was so confident I finally realized, they already have that huge sidelight window right next to it that somebody could easily come through. So,,, he technically didn’t those any safety ;)

[@smcox1991]

That’s what pew pews are for. I keep my door locked for your safety.

[@joshhagen4182]

Security doors to go over use metal perf so you can see out but they can’t see in

[@claireroutcight]

My neighborhood is way to risky for that

[@Sunsethomestead]

It looks so good!

[@utkarsh_8066]

That is so beautiful .. hats off man !! Solid work .

[@laurielane4074]

Beautiful redo. Enjoyed watching.

[@henriettakoffi8392]

Definitely like the black. Great job.

[@sundraickom5686]

LOOKS GOOD

[@Tony-vf3sg]

Amazing skills, very nice job! This would have taken me a whole weekend.

[@itsonlyacommentsnowflake3346]

She let him think it was a joint decision,but already knew the shade of black she wanted 👌👌 lol

[@yu-ger-bloob-highway3521]

Absolutely amazing man!

[@krystalv93]

Wow that's beautiful!

[@deedeerosa1095]

This looks amazing!!!

[@richardclarke9966]

Another cracking job, Alex 👌 Hope all is well with the new arrival 💙

[@larrybowers8323]

Tricorn black ftw! Did it as an accent wall with my bedroom.

[@devonfultonjr.532]

Brand new to the channel! Love the kinda of work you do. Overwhelmingly happy to subscribe to the channel!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Nice job on the door Alex! Thanks for sharing the video with us!💖👍👌😎JP

[@donnygrahambuilds]

Dang Alex! Killed it! Haha gotta love that ‘past the point of no return’ moment 😅

[@jackiebastiaanse1143]

Looks great!

[@CaliCady]

I have been looking for this type of video for long time!

[@sarahmarieivfmommy8581]

That turned our awesome

[@Totallysamsays]

ANOTHER: Great video! Suggestion I would paint the side window trim black as well.

[@jcm6421]

Looks amazing! You might just make me believe I could do this as well.

[@Handymanphilly]

Thanks for this video!

[@awakeandalive60]

The Mrs.: "How many upgrades can you do to this house?" Alex: "Yes."

[@Flintstones22]

Would you consider doing a shop tour? I like the set up and I’d be interested to see how that all came together.

[@ethansonoski408]

It would be awesome to see a video of you redoing the work shop!

[@holdemNE1]

Just turned your insulation factor from an R6 door into an R1. But seeing all the glass you already have you must live in a warm climate where this won't matter. Nice build and enjoyable video.

[@ScottTaylorRealtor]

I’ve been contemplating inserting glass inserts in my double front doors since my front hallway is so dark. Thanks for the video and the links. I think I’m going to do this. Maybe I’ll hire someone to do the install, however. 🤔

[@adrianlindsay3194]

Cool idea! Love the video's keep up the good work! 6:43 Powerful JRE two thumbs up! Your home is beautiful! Good job! Pair a man's technical ability and work ethic with a woman's sense of style, color and design and you have one hell of a powerful combination.

[@logandrayson4175]

Great work going to do this for sure!

[@jesusleon3611]

Much respect dude love your videos

[@Mobster9114]

Man the resell value of your house is going to go up like crazy with everything you’ve done, well done. Being able to see so much more into the house at night. Do you guys plan on putting some sort of blinds over the door for extra privacy?

[@tawanaboyd4846]

Looks good you do great work

[@LDenise27]

I've been wanting to redo our pantry door for the longest. This is the much I needed! Lol

[@darnellpugh3908]

I love that she knew the specific black that she wanted to use. I am also that way...there are so many shades of a color that you have those options. Not all blacks are created equally some just speak to you!

[@keamoussaoui13]

Beautiful!

[@unknownfactskmg2203]

it's amazing, I like it, I like Glass door.

[@rackinzsuccess]

Commercial steel doors are almost constructed the same, but with two metal faces usually welded on the seam, usually hidden by the edge, and then either has similar insulation foam, or a cardboard honeycomb pattern between the two faces.

[@danny_alv0183]

Congratulations on your baby girl!!🎉👼

[@DezertLTZYoutube]

I bought a house in Colorado (woot woot) and this was my first house mod 🤙🏽 thanks Bro

[@danieljw1985]

Bro I was going to spend 1,000 on a Jew glass door but I’m def doing this kit after seeing this. Thanks man. Been following for a while and have even done a couple jobs around the house with help of your videos.

[@DeeDee-zo7rv]

Nice job! Love the video! I’m going to try and convince my husband to do this with me! I’ve been trying to talk him into a new door with a window.

[@tn9274]

the reflective film on the glass make the door looks good.

[@JonnyDIY]

Black was the RIGHT choice. Nice job 👍🏻

[@sks8269]

Great job!! Love it!

[@dominicherrera4610]

Looks amazing, As do you !!! Thkyou!!!!

[@ESTOY77]

Beautiful with that Tricorn Black! Ire ally lak it!

[@Hanekusin]

You make me so motivated to remodel my house its crazy!

[@marybethduke3263]

Another awesome job!

[@LeslieDugger]

Good to see you figured out to jigsaw all the corners first then pass with the circular saw.

[@josephmauldin3]

Looks nice. I personally would have ran a bead of clear silicone around the whole thing before putting the interior frame on. That way you would cut down on drafts and save a bit on your heating and cooling bill.

[@m2002742]

Now I'm painting my door black 🖤 we have a blue/gray house with white trim and black exterior fixtures. I think a black door would look great with the white trim.

[@rogerhupp3115]

Dude! Looks great! well done.

[@edsonsola860]

Sem comentários excelente trabalho de qualidade

[@TGSHomeandGarden]

Love your energy! Great work!!!

[@hollysabatelli2109]

I have the same door except its sold wood...old school. I may give it a go!
