[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

Thanks for the tip Nate!

[@rixtrix11]

Thanks again for posting this! I got the 2 doors made, trimmed, insulated and painted. I had to use 1/4" plywood as the rockwool insulation is too dense to cover smoothly with 1/8" luan. The doors fit great, don't sag and can easily be opened and closed, even though each one weighs over 100#. I also used 2 packs of the metal lock barrel bolt you have listed in the description; work great!

How much gap between the 2 doors, so when you open one up, the 2x4 dont rub against each other? Great work and hoping to build mine for the garage using your plans. Heavy duty hinges right?

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

Hi Kenneth, I butt the hinge side as close as possible, top I leave 1/8 inch as they will sag a little, the bottom I leave 1/2 inch and center to be able to open with 2x4 frame is 3/4" to an 1 inch and yes heavy-duty hinges are worth the money

[@nicholascrider2147]

Help me out here. What is the justification for the bracing that goes from the middle, back upward towards the hinge side. I understand the bracing that goes from the bottom hinge to the middle, as that is under compression. It seems like the other brace is not adding support against gravity puling the weight of the door down. As I understand it, the brace should be on the bottom of the hinge side, stretching all the way up to the top of the opening side. Am I wrong about this? Is there a reason for the reverse bracing?

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

You can build them that way and be fine I'm sure, I opt for this way as I have for many I have done and have had none to very little sag with this style. I do use the other method when using the 2x4's laying flat but it's just my preference for these doors Nicholas. thank you for the input and watching the video I appreciate it!

[@plspry2dj354]

Hi Mr. Adams. By how much smaller did you make the frame against the opening? What is your tolerance? Thank you so much in advance.

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

Zero on the sides, just butt it up against framing be sure to level, the center is where you will need the gap and I used a 1/2 to 3/4"

[@carterscustomrods]

Looks good! I wish I was able to use simple doors like that, but the hurricanes here made me me over-engineer it like crazy.

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

I understand that!

[@TheDreamweaver18]

Doors look great. Very nicely done. I need to build a set with each door being 6’wide and 12’ high. Would I approach doors of that size any differently than the method you used?

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

Hi Jacob, if you are planning to insulate them I would say put an X frame inside but if no insulation is needed or very little I would lay the framing flat for less sag but either way I would run a diagonal adjustable cable for extra strength. Let us know how it goes!

[@ceanorme]

That was a great video. Thank you. What kind of hinges should I use if I want the droors to open inwad?

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

Hey thanks for the comment, You can either use the hinges listed on the interior instead or if you don't want to see the straps on the inside then use something like these hinges here amzn.to/3Ri5C9y Hope it helps and thanks for watching!

[@ro63rto]

2:40 - in your opinion, is the 'British Brace' you used stronger than the 'Double Zed Brace' ? I want to add a backing to my new doors but am worried about the extra weight. There are three substantial band hinges on each door.

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

Both have their merrits, I have never had a problem with this style sagging but I would say go with whichever you are more comfortable with. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it.

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

LOL that sounds like a plan, thanks for watching Mark, I appreciate it!

[@TheoGritz]

This might be a stupid question but isn't it a security concern that someone could unscrew the hinges and enter the space? Is there a way to improve the security?

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

Sure by using carriage bolts instead, this one however is in the fenced back yard. If somebody really wants in they are going to get in. It's kind of like someone installing a huge thick front door with all the deadbolts and locks and have a window right next to it.

[@rixtrix11]

Great video! I'm using it to make similar doors for my new 24x32 shop with a 9'x10' door opening. 6-7 month delivery expectations and cost especially are 2 things why I decided to go this way. Also, my shop will be used mostly for building my 1966 Chevelle autocross car, welding and personal vehicle maintenance, so I don't really need doors that are convenient and easy to open several times a day or week. Have you another video on how you sealed the door, yet?

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

Sounds great! I used 1x1 self stick foam weatherstrip on the overlapping trim pieces and a garage floor door seal. amzn.to/3VBhPFp amzn.to/3OFqoON and amzn.to/3HVaBrC Hope this helps

I'm curious on how you did one door to overlap the other. Wish you'd have shown that in the video.

Can't quite picture how you can have it overlap and all stay on the same line

Hello and welcome, Yes that is what I did by using a 1x6 for the center overlap. Good eye!

[@Kurt9099]

Great video. How much smaller than your rough opening were your doors? Or maybe it's better to ask the clearance on all sides of each door.

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

Hi Kurt, I butt it up on the sides and add minimum 3/4" center gap but do recommend 1 inch as these doors will move a bit and with the 2x4 width should have enough clearance to open correctly.

I’m almost 50yo, and have learned how to do all this types of things around the house or basically manual labor. I know is because it was needed, but also because I was doing it with my father or someone else who took the time to show me. We often say “this generation doesn’t want to work, or doesn’t know” the reason why KZbin is popular is because we are so busy with life, and don’t show them. Or we don’t need to build them. But let’s not blame them or try to shame them. The new generations have their own skills, and opportunities to improve. Just my point of view.

Do you have more detailed video or comment of how you kept the door panel in the correct position while attaching the hinges. I've never seen the hinges attached to both the door and building at the same time. Thanks

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

Hi Dave, I actually set the door frames in the opening and shim them where they are to be and then mark the frame where the panel grooves match up then when doors are done I set them back in the opening and set the trim on the doors so I know that I can install the hinges while keeping the doors straight. I hope that is what your question was.

Brothers/Sisters, if you have an issue with fiber glass insulation irritating your skin. I have a simple solution. I used to run a machine that stuffed fiber glass into automotive mufflers. At the end of week 1 I looked like a full blown method addict. I had scratched my arms to the point they were bleeding. One day a vendor walked by and told me " I used to look like that. I ran a fiber glass machine. I found that shaking baby powder on my arms and neck then patting it in made it impossible for the fiber glass to penetrate my skin."

@@fernandorivera7155 I understand that, we got hit hard with monsoons this year which is great because we need the water. Thanks for subbing to the channel I sure appreciate it.

Nearly $9 for 2x4? I paid ~$2.50/ea yesterday, and even Lowes price is under $4.

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

How do you think I feel I had to pay it if I wanted lumber! LOL I am glad lumber prices have realigned since the blip.

Can you come help me?😂.. I want the same thing except with a man door.. to fit a gap 11'6 ×7'3

You could always frame a walk-through door within the larger door like we door within barn doors

After months waiting for a garage door I decided to build my own garage shop doors which was the best decision I think. 2 Pack Metal Lock Barrel Bolt: amzn.to/3wwgh6X 6 Pack T Strap Hinge Shed Hinge: amzn.to/3tkn2qr Door Latch T-Handle Lock Kit: amzn.to/3wge7rB Lower door seal: amzn.to/3VBhPFp

The diagonals are wrong.

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

[@foxmoulder7724]

Noooo 8.96 each? For 2x4 That can't be right it's usually about a third of that

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

It was during the blip, you know when not much was available so you paid out the butt to get what you could. Supply and Demand!

[@kevindouglas8768]

You did really good until I watched you drill that hole in the concrete. It's going to fill with dirt, but mostly water, then freeze a few times. That slab will have a weak stop forever.

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

I sure appreciate you joining in here and the comment it means a lot to me that you would take the time to watch my video!

@@ILikeToBuildStuff I drilled a hole at the head of the stall and used it as a "dead man" to help me jerk vehicles up the slope and into the garage. When the holes weren't being used, I capped them. Worked great for years. Enjoy :)
