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

[@Ronoir]

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

[@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

[@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?

[@RiverValleyAcres]

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

[@sengv1987]

Love your style in interior designing. Great inspiration

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thank you so much

[@markpearce9200]

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

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks so much

[@robottrainer]

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

[@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.

[@brightlightabove]

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

[@TheDanmanguy]

Awesome! Looks incredible man.

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks dude

@@RadDadBuilds is that a kit?

[@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

[@mariojhorge23]

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

[@wrdennig]

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

[@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) ?

[@royvanveenendaal2402]

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

[@elevate0826]

This is gangster bro

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks dude

[@alonzogonzalez7685]

my dogs heard the doorbell through my headset and went berzerk. LOL

[@cityindependent2509]

You have a Chris D'Elia vibe

[@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

[@TheAlexbaias]

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

[@djeiys]

nice work

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@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

[@miataman1985]

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

[@FREDSTECHHUB]

Super clean and amazing, I'm definitely subbing

[@RadDadBuilds]

Hey Thanks dude, I appreciate it

[@gwright2001]

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

[@BrentDaughertyMe]

I like the rap in the intro. I'm saving this video for when I build our front door. Lots of good tips.

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks buddy, glad you enjoyed it 🤙

[@MrHghoang]

That space is looking good man!

[@RadDadBuilds]

Hey thanks dude

[@mattblair613]

Looks awesome!!

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks dude 🤙

[@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.

[@mohd-obid]

Awesome 👍

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@coraldavis6967]

Fantastic !!!!

[@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.

[@jabig1]

Would love to see how you made the door

[@AidanSkoyles]

Visa card. He bought it.

[@squeekhobby4571]

Enjoyed the presentation! Well done

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thank you kindly!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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?

[@DreBars]

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

Awesome vid. What is door width?

[@Heather-ug4ru]

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

[@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.

[@JefferLin]

Thanks!

[@MrCanman84]

Great intro!!!!

[@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

[@cyriltouma7626]

Great work nik is there a link for the door build itself?? Big thanks for sharing this awsome job 🙏🙏

[@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!

[@Reddylion]

Nice

[@marcodeluca4068]

oh I thought you going to show how to make door?? Ok where did you purchase the door from?

[@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.

[@chauchau95]

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

[@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?

[@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

[@saulorendain2547]

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

[@tebasak1]

Where did you get/build the door itself?

[@RadDadBuilds]

A place called Wescon doors here in bc.

[@lisacolbert5987]

This(these) is/are really helpful and well done tutorials . Will sub . For installing hinges , I like SO much to use ‘self-centering’ drill bits - #6 mostly . I’d used quality countersink bits for 25+ years for this application and often , (especially if hinges were used on a wood like Douglas Fir - that had intermittent soft then harder grain) was less than pleased with hinge-screws not being exactly centered and therefor not entirely flush . Lol , I’d certainly SEEN these weird looking bits with the spring-loaded sleeve that the fairly blunt-tipped drill bit travel through over many years ! They also save time and fiddling without having to precisely pencil in the spotI’m reminded of a Pretenders song , “I shot my mouth off and you showed me what that _____was for !” Anyway , WELL worth buying one and giving it a try . I never looked back- as far as all cabinet hardware requiring screws went . Only negative (IMO) : They tend to walk off job sites , should a less-than-scrupulous HVAC guy or plumber spy you using yours ... Just kidding . Sort of . Thanks !

[@sponsorless40]

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?

[@RadDadBuilds]

Hey thanks, the handle I have is 4ft, there's a bunch of size options in the Amazon link in the description. cheers

PSA: You need Titebond III for outdoor, things-get-wet applications. Titebond II is for indoor, non-moisture use.

[@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?
