How To Frame And Install A Modern Exterior Entryway Door, Ultimate Curb Appeal | DIY

[@philipspeicher889]

This is the best video I have seen on KZbin for constructing and installing an exterior door frame. I’ve been searching like crazy for exactly this and there’s doesn’t seem to be any other good videos showing how to build the actual door frame. Excellent video.

[@RadDadBuilds]

Wow, thanks. I really appreciate that.

[@cybinchase]

i know im growing up because this is soooooooo satisfying every sec of this video

[@Ronoir]

Solid work, I'd love to see how you made the door.

[@Carpenters_Canvas]

A little tip for choosing the right length screws or nails . Multiply whatever your nailing/screwing by 1.5 that is the proper length . Not specifically for you but just a tip I learned from this old house .

[@RadDadBuilds]

Agreed, Great tip

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

And add 1" if screwing into end grain, right?

[@JefferLin]

Thanks!

[@robottrainer]

great video, I would recommend treating your wood with saltine solution for mold and termite prevention 20-30 years later.

[@mariojhorge23]

Great job, well done. Any video of how you made this door? cheers

[@MoD3RnHD]

Do you find the magnets work well enough? Do they hold tight or will any wind push it open?

[@RadDadBuilds]

No the magnets work great. they are very strong.

[@royvanveenendaal2402]

Hi! Great video. Do you have a video how you made the door and door slab?

[@sengv1987]

Love your style in interior designing. Great inspiration

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thank you so much

[@miataman1985]

Amazing! I want to do one similar with an old door on a block 1968 house.Any advice?

[@Newsolution8876]

You Brite up my day rad dad builds love your works 🧡🪵💯 THANK YOU

[@gbx78]

what a brilliantly explained video. Watched soo many and this articulated it well. Thank you for taking the time to do this for us handy DIY'ers. 1 question, could you install the lock on the door before you hang the entire assembly, THEN after door and frame is installed, transfer the location of deadbolt on the frame? any foreseen issues by doing it this way (for ease) ?

[@norbertbajgyik1607]

I love it it looks beautiful but at 22:05 why can you see outside through the bottom ???? shouldn't be tight ?

[@RadDadBuilds]

Yes, There is an exterior grade weather threshold installed.

[@eugenepodolsky4038]

This man makes it look so easy 😮

[@nickrichardson438]

Great vid mate. Been looking for one like this. This answered the questions I had! 🤝

[@wrdennig]

I got so tired of working with shims that I bought a Jamb Master . . . such a dream for door installation - especially with multiple, equal-sized doors.

[@kipcarbone1730]

great work! All while watching your son! Do you have a video on how you made the door?

[@kipcarbone1730]

did you buy the door?

[@JefferLin]

Great build. Very handsome. Question: Why don't you predrill the lock and strike in the shop? Why onsite? Thx.

[@RadDadBuilds]

Hey thanks, and great question. I honestly don’t know why i waited. I guess maybe incase anything shifted during the installation but that shouldn’t be the case. I think it would be totally fine to pre drill in the shop.

[@yuliyayat4004]

Hi there ! Awesome video! Couldn’t find how to make a door slab, could you recommend the video ? I might have missed that moment in that video, please , advise

[@gwright2001]

did you make or buy the door? most impressive element and its a secret

[@jabig1]

Would love to see how you made the door

[@AidanSkoyles]

Visa card. He bought it.

[@dannys7795]

Did you make the door yourself? i have been looking for the video on it but couldn't find!

[@r3sremodelingalexromero687]

Looks great, I'm working on a door for my wife.. Can you recommend a place to get the glass for the door. Thanks.?

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks buddy, I usually purchase my glass from my local glass shop or auto glass shop.

[@louisli2571]

tidy great work, especially additional introduction for the wifi cam !

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks so much

[@DreBars]

Did you buy the door itself? it looks solid inside ???

[@wrdennig]

Another tool that helps me with heavy door installation is The Door Stud.

[@PhotonHerald]

One small thing I could see being a huge problem. Leaving the barcode on the doorbell? The one you need to link the device to your phone? What's to stop someone from popping the cover and scanning the code again to link THEMSELVES in?

[@XxIcedecknightxX]

The other huge problem is the glass window being on the same side as the deadbolt lock XD

[@markpearce9200]

Love the Union Wood Co shirt!! And great build too, thanks

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks mate, Im a big fan of those guys

[@andre-machma5549]

nice Door, but ... Are locks used on cabinets on front doors in the US?

[@lsdave]

Where do you order jambs, mullions and headers like that where they are already made?

[@RadDadBuilds]

Homedepot stock them

[@miataman1985]

what stain is used on the door? what grove depth

[@brightlightabove]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Beautiful work and thorough explanation. Well done, sir.

[@Heather-ug4ru]

Hi there. Love your work. I cannot seem to find episode 1-4 for your front door. Are they still available?

[@jasminegaylemalacad5860]

Beautiful door! Thanks for sharing. Anyway, What is the exact measurements of your door? Thanks😊

[@chauchau95]

Only 3 screws to hold the jamb also do u need to nail down the threshold?

[@Meandmy2Vs]

I love it! Very beautiful work!

Brilliant work. Liked and subscribed!

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks dude

[@rajivsawh1985]

hey how does the door stay closed when the deadbolt isn't locked? does the wind ever just swing the door open?

[@p.maryyayabear7078]

He put magnets on.

[@saulorendain2547]

may i ask why you cut like that with the saw. The first cut.

[@asciilogic]

Awesome vid. What is door width?

[@TheAlexbaias]

Awsome ! Congrats! But show us how u make the door. Manny thanks and jeep do It that !!!!🥂🥂🥂

[@wstockholm2735]

Hi Rad Dad, awesome video and thanks for teaching us. has the magnet been holding up well and has it been strong enough? have a solid core 1 3/4 wood door and deciding if i need the precision magnet heavy duty version. can’t tell if that’ll be overkill. thanks!

[@litabears]

Beautiful door! i love!😍😍

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thank you! 😊

[@HomeAt8000]

Hey, how is the magnet? Was it too strong?

[@RadDadBuilds]

Its super strong, works great

[@MikeSidelka]

I love that door handle, but it looks like the only way to open the Dorr is with a key, is that correct? Or is there a latch hidden on the bar?

[@RadDadBuilds]

Hey Thanks and yes that's why we used the magnets to try overcome that issue. They're very strong and hold the door shut when unlocked just ike a latch would.

[@susankilgore3675]

@@RadDadBuilds where do you find the magnets please?

[@stiksandstones]

Wow. Nice work

[@MultiADr1aN]

Tips: You can hide some screws under the hinge for a cleaner look

[@RadDadBuilds]

That would have been option 2 if I couldn't hide them behind the weather strip

[@RiverValleyAcres]

The beginning of the video had me so hype I was ready to build my own damn door lol

[@TheDanmanguy]

Awesome! Looks incredible man.

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks dude

[@TheDanmanguy]

@@RadDadBuilds is that a kit?

[@stevexbishop]

Really enjoying your vids Nick, very nice work and modern transition of your property. Are you a pro carpenter, maybe you do this for a living? I like how you simplify your explanations, your vids are good learning tools. Thanx for sharing, excellent - Steve

[@noelrichard1210]

Nice look and nice door. I see one issue with this type of door. The lock side of the door is a weak place since you have a window next to it. That type of door would look good in a place where they are no criminals loose in nature. I would suggest that you remake that door, but make one with security in mind where no one will be able to bust the door open by force.

[@BTom16]

Beautiful project. Rad.

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks Dude 🤙

[@josearreguin8715]

It’s really nice!! Who you got the door from?

[@RadDadBuilds]

[@ianthefishable]

Why put glass right next to the inside deadbolt latch?

[@Shane-un8pe]

Completely agree

[@xaki6545]

While I don't disagree, it's really no different than the door he replaced. Most homes are vulnerable to someone willing to break glass to get in.

[@Shane-un8pe]

@@xaki6545 he should atleast have the door locked with a key on the inside. So if he removes the key then even if they break the glass they still can't unlock the door.

[@bmfairweather]

AHHHHHH where did you get this door. I've been looking to get something like for a year now

[@agapolanskachung3866]

Great door! Did you buy this door kit, or made it yourself? I'm looking for an affordable modern door to purchase.

Thanks for this video. Very well done and inspiring. What is the length of the handle you used (the link leads to a 24” handle on Amazon but it looks much longer) and what’s the height of your door for reference?

[@chrisherring4512]

Just looking out for security, but can anyone link your Ringdoor bell to their app with the qr code you showed in your video? I wouldn't want everyone to know when you are home and when you aren't.

Yo Rad Dad great vid. I am modeling my new front door after yours. Can you give me some insight on the length of the pull bar on the door? Is it 4' or smaller?

[@mndovrkdrkmtr9951]

Love the look of the door. Not so sure about have it dead bolt only. Would be annoying going in and out of the house and having to dead bolt it each time especially on windy days. Also not a huge fan of the non symmetrical hinges. I would have added a 5th to the bottom or simply just got heavier duty hinges to limit it to 2 or 3

[@sn262792]

The magnets actually keep the door closed while the deadbolt is opened:)

[@coraldavis6967]

Fantastic !!!!

[@mattblair613]

Looks awesome!!

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks dude 🤙

[@TheSuperQubit]

Looks so good. One concern I have with these doors is security. If an intruder breaks the glass he can easily access the deadbolt from inside and open the door. Is the glass specially made to prevent breakins?

[@melmel7011]

How wide is the door

[@skillsrobles]

Did i miss the part where the actual door was being made or was that not in the video?

[@MrJinwright]

He named the video wrong. It should have been how to assemble a door casing.

[@CordellMeiburg]

I’m new, I came from you newest viral video, Congrats! The Grind is real! I love the edit Montages! Incorporating your son is super Cool! Seems like he likes it too! One thing I suggest is I don’t think it’s necessary to have essentially 2 intros in some one the vids. The montage could be used as the intro with a title at the end, instead of the Peter McKinnon inspired one. Great work man! #roadto100k

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks dude, I totally agree. Im still in the learning process of making videos. I feel my most recent videos have come along way since this one.

[@kirkyorg7654]

you don't need a 4th hinge i have hung the heaviest solid oak doors with just 3 heavy duty hinges [good quality] and never had a call back in 40 years size of screws you use is more important than and extra hinge just remember if your a dyi guy only worry about fitting 2 hinges to begin with just cut and fit the top and bottom hinges get it hung make sure it has an equal space and opens and closes good then fit the 3rd hinge trying to line up 3 hinges a once will wreck your whole day use a level and a square those one and a quarter inch screws in the hinges are too small should have bumped them up to something beefier and another thing to be careful of is silicone in some cases if used to install sealed glass units you can void the warranty as the acid in the silicone can eat the seals in the glass double glaze. butyl tape might be a better alternative and also remember nothing sticks to silicone except silicone so don't get it anywhere you want to paint or glue or well any thing
