HANGING NEW DOORS TO OLD FRAMES

[@granitescotland7338]

Nice work, Chris.

@@granitescotland7338 thank you 🙏🏼

Hi keel Well impressed by your door hanging methods, I've been working 44yrs on the tools ,old frames can be torture some newer ones not much better The leading edge not used much these days but is necessary when the frame is twisted i always sand the door edges to remove the planer ripples the rotex makes quick work of them. The Stanley lifter is great in conjunction with the air bags, it's better than the viking arm as it can be foot operated them fire doors aren't much fun to be handling in and out of bad frames a few times 😢 Not sure about the use of the drywall screws sheer strength and all that jazz! Subscribed and looking forward to the understairs video.

Thanks very much really appreciate your support, respect the 44yrs you have dedicated to the industry 😎

[@frenchgreguk]

Thats literally exactly same the way I fit my doors step by step. (Although I prefer the trim router for hinges). Nice margins mate!

[@keelsjoineryconstructionltd]

@@frenchgreguk thanks bro I do enjoy using a router to 😎

Perfect timing on this vid. I am looking to fit around 14 new doors to old frames soon (also a 100 year old house - but through in Edin) . Also looking to get into Milwaukee tools as an upgrade. A latch video would be great, and also any tips for jigs etc to make life easier when doing lots of doors at the same time? Great channel - keep at it!

[@keelsjoineryconstructionltd]

@@RobMorrison-b6n awesome, I’m so glad you’ll be able to refer to this video when it comes to fitting your own doors 😁 Be carful with Milwaukee tools they are like Pringle’s once you pop you don’t stop before you know it you’ll need a lock up to store them, I’ll certainly do a video on latch’s in the future I do have a few videos on shorts doing the latch but more in debt video coming soon 😎

[@tommellor679]

Great video. Enjoying the channel! I’m thinking about going for Milwaukee as I’m due a mass tool upgrade. Not sure I can justify the price but it looks like awesome kit!

[@Blue60]

Hi great work, do you not put a leading edge on the doors or is that in the past now

[@keelsjoineryconstructionltd]

@@Blue60 hi mate I believe that’s a thing of the past now a days sir 😂

[@edthompson9337]

Leading edge all day long, tighter gap round the door looks way better.

What tool belt are you using mate

Is there extraction on the little planer

[@keelsjoineryconstructionltd]

@@neilhowarth9362 yes there is, honest truth I couldn’t be bothered going back to the van lol, it was only 2.5mm I had to take off just decided to sweep up after wasn’t to bad 😂😂

[@neilhowarth9362]

What do charge for fitting a door

[@keelsjoineryconstructionltd]

@@neilhowarth9362 all depends on the condition of the frame, if it’s a new build/old house, solid core door/ hollow door loads of different factors I take in to account I will do a video on pricing in the new year 😁

[@bigrosco952]

Ply to floor should be screwed with zinc screws lad not dry walls 👍🔨🪚for next time

[@keelsjoineryconstructionltd]

@@bigrosco952 I’ve been doing with for years and never had an issue screw is a screw lol 🤷‍♂️

[@spattty]

​@@keelsjoineryconstructionltdI agree, we used to use brass and hold everyone and screw them in , I prefer your way all day long

[@keelsjoineryconstructionltd]

@ thanks bro, everyone’s different but I just don’t see the issue here 🤷‍♂️

[@tommellor679]

Unless I’m mistaken, it’s the material and thread type that make screws suitable/unsuitable for an application (in this case wood). The zinc screws I assume you’re referring to will have the same coarse helical thread that the dry wall screws have. The only benefit you might get from the zinc wood screw is that they’re usually countersunk so will sit flush for flooring installation, but in terms of fastening capability, either will suffice 👍🏼

[@keelsjoineryconstructionltd]

@ so there’s not that much difference in the grand scheme of things 😂 the dry wall screws still sit below plywood slightly if you adjust the depth on the gun so would be fine for flooring in top 😁

[@masonbridge4329]

Always got taught to use timber wedges to push in to keep door tight to the hinge side, instead of using metal… everyone’s different mate

[@keelsjoineryconstructionltd]

@@masonbridge4329 yeah timber wedges work perfect, if your gentle enough the nail bar won’t leave a mark 😁

[@edthompson9337]

Well thats a first, I've never seen anyone use a sander to hang a door!😂

@@edthompson9337 obviously not spend a lot of time around good carpenters

[@edthompson9337]

@@keelsjoineryconstructionltd You aren't a good carpenter though are you, otherwise you would finish it off with a hand plane!😂

@@keelsjoineryconstructionltda sharp no.4 and block plane for me still. Those lippings plane really easily cos they’re not as dense as oak. Try it sometime

[@aaronbell8527]

Should be rly using ball bearing hinges for them doors terrible then standard butts

@@aaronbell8527 I agree these hinges weren’t the best, next time 🤌🏼

Expensive door with 10p hinges, why would you do that!😂

@@edthompson9337 they should be banned them hinges shite

[@edwardcowan6346]

It might be difficult if you where only using a circular saw, try using a hand sa and a hand plane. It's a whole different trade now, for the better.

[@keelsjoineryconstructionltd]

@@edwardcowan6346 I think if I had to use hand tools to go 5mm to 0mm off the top I would have probably used a big jack plane 😎 But using a hand saw would be difficult also 😁

[@stephenwatson1873]

Great video, why don’t you use the track saw to take the width off the door, like you did the height?

[@keelsjoineryconstructionltd]

@ I was only taking 2.5mm off the edge of the door it’s a lot easier to do with the planer, I was to take more than 5/6mm off I’d maby consider the track saw 😁

[@edthompson9337]

A piece of tape is better to identify the hinge side of a hardwood door like this, marking with a pencil is a no ,no!😂

[@keelsjoineryconstructionltd]

@@edthompson9337 pencil marks are very easily wiped of with a big wipes, 😴

[@matthewsmyth2833]

Why you putting dry Wall screws in floor? Is it because it's quicker with the gun because i know you haven't been doing that years 😂 you know its no right 😂 lietubers you all should be called

[@keelsjoineryconstructionltd]

@@matthewsmyth2833 there is absolutely nothing wrong with using dry wall screw to screw down plywood does the same job 🤣🤷‍♂️

[@matthewsmyth2833]

@keelsjoineryconstructionltd because that's not what they're for I don't see how difficult that is to understand and then use the correct screw for the job. You're supposed to be a joiner you should no better really

[@keelsjoineryconstructionltd]

@ it legit make no difference, there is no integrity lost in the work we have done the floor is screwed down ever 6”s all screws are sunk and a flat smooth surface achieved, your just having a wee moan for the sake of it to make yourself feel better, have a good Christmas and a happy new year 😁

[@matthewsmyth2833]

@keelsjoineryconstructionltd I'm just purely wondering why you're using a dry wall screw for a plywood floor that's all. 17 years in the trade. See you see it as a moan because you're trying to justify using the wrong screw foe the job. I hope you're not a foam it up if will fine type of joiner. You know it's not right I no you do . Just man up n start doing job properly.
