How To Install A Door / How To Hang A Door

[@JoDoSta]

Pumped to have more content on the way for this channel. Logical, nothing unnecessarily complicated, functional, and solid. Dig it.

[@emtscythe3782]

I've hung tons of doors but I can always learn something from a Master. I love watching you work John.

[@BoeingVaporhead]

Woodworking in the comfort of your home! Glad to see you working in a t-shirt and temperature above 4 degrees C[anadian]. Though, it's a shame we couldn't hear Rush playing in the background.Thank you, John. I echo everyone else's comments -- no nonsense, practical, entertaining and useful content -- same as always.

[@richardbarber5911]

Wow. You have some serious skill and know-how. Love how practical your videos are. Lots of showing instead of telling. Am subscribing. Thank you!

[@billcarson6186]

Definitely my favorite John Heisz channel.

[@kmonnier]

This is the best and most useful home how to channel!

[@Daninashed]

Really like the presentation style on this channel John, informative and concise

[@baconsoda]

I'll probably never do this but, if I have to, I know which video to come back to. Good stuff.

[@mothman.industries]

Honestly, I wish the people that built my apartment had hung the doors with as much care as you do. It may not seem like much, but that constant gap is one of those details that really makes a difference.

[@marca7434]

Wow ... Thank you so much for making this video. Clear, precise and so easy to follow. Great dialog delivery and you make it look so easy. Really appreciate the value you are providing for all of us.

[@sureshot311]

I never thought I'd want to install a door. But after watching this, I need to make some doors. This was a fantastic video and I thank you for making it.

[@KyleMerl]

Good tip using the wedge! You make that look easy, as if you've done it once or twice before...

[@regularguy9264]

It's a shim.

[@stevenschmelling5597]

Loved the dance moves while planing vertically, almost looked like ballet.

[@MRrwmac]

Nice work John! Especially since you made the frame and door yourself. Always a little shave here, a little sand there and done! Looking forward to more of your renovation videos!

[@IBuildItHome]

Thanks Mac. Going to be a whole flood of them through the spring and summer :)

[@tsicby]

Published today??? Talk about good timing, I'm in the middle of installing my own interior door jambs and hanging some custom doors I ordered and was looking for instruction. Thanks for posting.

[@smokingcheeba420]

Johnny Rocket hang the frame with the door. Use a temp door if you need to.

[@jandrewmore]

Great video as usual John, keep up the good work. I'm going to be doing this soon, so your tips are invaluable.

[@JoeDavis82]

Man that door turned out great John! You do really know your shit when it comes to doors, and everything else.

[@22KingRancher]

I do the home remodel game for a living and I still love watching all your Reno vids. Your house is really coming along, looking great!

[@aaronstestlab]

Good video man! Another option at 5:45 would be to just buy hinges with radiused corners

[@markjarman7819]

Great job. I like the idea of a plywood door as I have some real odd size frames to fit to.

[@hallenw]

Awesome! I have really cheap interior doors in my house and now I have a plan to correct that situation. THANKS!!

[@felecitabischoff5818]

You have inspired me to make our own doors for our home I bought lumber yestrday I chose all the materials we need cant wait to start building it tomorrow...Thank U👍🥰

[@jennifernakoski1547]

Thank you so much. The "jig" is amazing idea, I appreciate your instructions.! Great job!

[@josheppley2767]

I love following along with your house renos as I do mine. I've learned so much from your videos!

[@alexpettigrew8971]

Great to see some good old fashioned site carpentry!

[@tonyb2760]

Great work and excellent information about door hanging and manufacture.

[@jbb5470]

Another great video and build project John! Nice music at the end. Thanks for posting!

[@ricardotrujillo5106]

Thanks for sharing all this information, may God bless you and your family and business. Clear and to the point to tell what to do. Blessings.

[@3az3oz]

I always hated doing door installations, but seeing how you did it makes me look forward to trying those techniques in the future.

[@benzmansl65amg]

Great job! You make everything look so easy!

[@thomashakonsen3778]

Great video. Good tips. I also bought the selfcentering bit. A pain in the ... to use. Had the same issue as you had. Went back to using regular drill bits...

[@ogatkinson6274]

Great video, hope you continue with youtube, because thats where I watch your videos, thanks.

[@kylewoodward7078]

Your a great teacher! Thank you for your knowledge.

[@ford56798]

The compound is coming along nicely..

[@stanleydenning]

They make hinges with half-inch rounded corners so you don't have to square the corners of the mortises.

[@davidpark905]

I'd love to see how to do a the hole for the door hardware ( lock mechanism)

[@mvoutour]

thanks for the great video, i had no idea there were so many tricks to hanging a door. Very informative

[@FredMcIntyre]

Nicely done John! 👊 Cool jig! 👍

[@alfredpennyworth1441]

Fantastic video. This will help me tremendously.

[@binnsbrian]

Good video. I enjoyed it. I don't think you can see a gap from the inside. 9:30 The door stop would cover the door from that side wouldn't it?

[@maneshpatel4233]

Hey John. Great tips. Have you got a video on the hinge jig? I have about 10 doors to hang in my renovation and that jig would make life a lot easier

[@larryarnemann7274]

I've been thinking of making your hinge template jig for years. Do you/ could you make a video on it? thanks!

[@muh1h1]

I think it is really intresting to see how northamerican doors work completely differently from european ones :) Ours seem much more complex, probably not as easy to make yourself, but i think they would be easier to hang. Don't have experience with either though!

[@paulmcfadyen689]

muh1h1 I'm pretty sure doors work the same all over the world?

[@Kristopher520]

Nice jig. So you can set that to tell you where to put the hinges?

[@KennyKing315]

Excellant, Truly a great tutorial, Thanks

[@andrewspurlin7800]

This guy is a damn genius. Do you respond to questions?

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Another very informative video. You make it look so easy. What are you doing at the bottom of the door, what kind of gap is there?

[@jroseme]

Thanks for sharing. Im about to do this task soon.

[@Wordsnwood]

okay you've dealt with the people telling you to get the specialty corner chisel, but what about the people telling you to get the round-cornered hinges so you don't have to chisel? I know, I know, I'll shut up now... ;-)

[@IBuildItHome]

Actually... someone already mentioned it :)

[@frankstover3444]

Exactly

[@WillowDailyShorts]

What is the plan to stop the door knob from hitting the glass window on the other door?

[@IBuildItHome]

Details in an upcoming video.

[@WillowDailyShorts]

Can’t wait, great video, very interesting and informative. Thank you!

[@regularguy9264]

I'm going to guess some type of hinge stop. Commercially made....but I wonder if John has other ideas.....

[@gentlemensedge5503]

Love your videos..I have a question on your door jamb installation. Was the header installed level? I don't understand why you had to plane the top of the door so radically..just curious as to your thought process..I seen the installation video. You started off well with very little variance from jamb to ceiling..am I missing something? Thanks, great jamb installation video, by the way..

[@ByersLeafguard]

Good job. Great to see the troubleshooting.

[@cejkwo100]

Nice job John

[@edkelley6916]

Great stuff buddy You have me great idea

[@davidmcgrath6507]

Very insightful!

[@kmonnier]

"Once you get the hang of it." Lol What about cussing when you put the hinges on backwards?

[@bobparlevliet1776]

In The Netherlands we have rounded hinges, so when using a router you don't have to chisel out the corners afterwards. Don't you have those in Canada or you don't care?

[@IBuildItHome]

We have them, but I don't like the way they look. I much prefer the square corners on hinges and latch plates.

[@davidbanwell7728]

Like the T-Shirt. Good video.

[@Justin_Reviews]

Great tutorial

[@mmmmmmm8706]

What's that stack of wood for across from the door?

[@tn8141]

I like the choice of music some other channels I listen to has horrible music

[@maximinomarquez2958]

Nice work! Is the plywood 1/2 or 3/4?

[@qwerttyyw]

Whey they cannot do hinges with rounded corners )

[@_rlb]

How's the bathroom vanity doing? I don't remember seeing a video of it being finished?

[@IBuildItHome]

Still need to build the drawers for it. Be a video coming soon on that.

[@_rlb]

I Build It Home thanks for replying. Good luck, I'm looking forward to that video.

[@mrburtenshaw8610]

Thanks very helpful

[@rickrudd]

Great tutorial - thanks!

[@Sal3600]

[@ayazmahmood8970]

WELDEN NICE 👌 👍

[@shartne]

nice job man

[@63256325N]

Well done, thanks.

[@DaveSpathaky]

“...once you get the hang of it”. Hahaha

[@CaliberFiftyVideos]

Is that really how doors are mounted in Canada? Tiny jewelery-box hinges and short wood screws? Or was this a special aesthetic choice? I would think of using those hinges for a (human size) door, let alone entry doors. 1st it's impossible those will hold a person if they were to hang onto the door. 2nd They can probably be kicked in on the first try by a medium size person with good shoes. Could someone elaborate? PS: No trolling here, seriously curious.

[@AlanW]

That isn't an entry door, it looks to be for a small closet.

[@FOMI1970]

Is that the planer with the new blades ?????

[@IBuildItHome]

Yes :)

[@tobybeswick36]

how come you used 3 hinges? I've seen doors with 2 hinges and some with 3, all interior doors, is there a reason?

[@IBuildItHome]

Two will do, but three looks better - more substantial.

[@gvanvoor]

I have a (heavy) door with 4 hinges: on at the bottom, one near the middle and two at the top

[@tobybeswick36]

i understand having more than 2 on a heavy door, but an interior door is fairly light

[@gvanvoor]

Toby Beswick that 4 hinge door (at my parent’s) is an interior door. I’m renovating my house and all doors there are heavy (the biggest ones I can hardly lift; built in a time they still used solid wood instead of filling them up with cardboard) and all have 3 hinges.

[@combatmedic1980]

Whoa John, did I see you attach the jig to the door with Philips screws??? I thought you Canadians only used the Roberts screws ?? LOL

[@jackiefeltham288]

Robertson! Eh?

[@JasonBarre]

That's a useful jig!

[@maciejlegowicz5834]

damn, if I would only see this video 2 years ago ...

[@philipreinier6684]

Speaker city!

[@josephmills7353]

Use a mallet rather than a hammer just to keep the chisel handle from being chipped.

[@infinitmusic649]

Genio

[@towns84]

It's almost like you used to do it for a job😉

[@j.tatianaramos3440]

That's what I call crafting detailing and patience, which I don't have... :(

[@dugstone1968]

nice shirt

[@PBMS123]

7:40 weird, the self centring bits I have have never jammed.

[@alfredabbey6162]

Kinda looks like when the door knobs are on it could break the glass in the front door, I say this because I have 10 kids and i know how it would happen in my house.

[@cjpenning]

3:32 I saw what you did there. :-)

[@dpeagles]

Yeah he was just trolling for comments on that one.

[@patwicker1358]

It's nice to see how someone who has probably hung thousands of doors does this.
