Resizing (Width) of an Interior Door!

[@AdventuresAtHome1]

KZbin Channel Home RenoVision DIY provided video instructions on how to cut down a door.

[@brettf.4203]

glad I found your video - getting ready to try this on my bifold doors. I knew what needed to be done but it was great to see a visual of it first. well done - ignore the haters on here trying to tell you what you did wrong. You worked within the parameters you were dealt with on your door situation.

[@AdventuresAtHome1]

I’m very glad to hear that the video helped you. My intent for the channel is to give back valuable information that can help others, since I have found so many helpful videos on YT.

Great job!! I am also replacing a number of old interior 24-inch, solid interior doors. Each hinged on two hinges on 6”-width door jambs. Thank you for the education!!🙏

[@AdventuresAtHome1]

Thanks! I’m glad to hear that this helped you. Have a great day!

[@pjfaust254]

Great video. Keep up the great work!

[@AdventuresAtHome1]

Thanks, will do!

[@kenkingsflyingmachines2382]

Thanks for posting this. I was contemplating running some 24" doors through my contractor saw to take about 1/8" off, but maybe I will use a skilsaw and a straightedge. Nice bathroom remodel. Doors are maddening!

[@AdventuresAtHome1]

Hello Ken, Thanks! I’m glad the video helped you. When I couldn’t find a door slab in the width that I needed, I decided to make an older, wider door fit and make a video on it to help others.

[@kenkingsflyingmachines2382]

@@AdventuresAtHome1 FYI, the skilsaw failed. At the risk of sounding like a poor craftsman, there was too much flex between the saw platen and the blade. It would not maintain a 90 degree angle. And the edge of the saw platen wasn't remotely parallel to the saw blade. I was reduced to grinding away at it with a belt sander.

[@AdventuresAtHome1]

@@kenkingsflyingmachines2382 Trying to cut a straight line on a long door with a Skill Saw would be difficult. That’s why I opted to use my table saw. Anyway, it sounds like you got the job done.

[@hgresseau]

great video. Thanks. Now I know how it can be done.

[@AdventuresAtHome1]

Great! I couldn't find a door in the width that I needed, so I decided to cut the existing door to fit. I'm glad this video helped you.

[@acehillz7448]

Thank you. I was looking for a video on a 26 inch door. Great job

[@AdventuresAtHome1]

Thanks. I was looking for a video on this and couldn’t find one, so I made one. Glad it helped you!

[@joseferrer5238]

The only vid I found really needed this thank you

[@AdventuresAtHome1]

Thanks! That’s why I did it. I couldn’t find a video on it either. I’m glad to hear that it helped you! Have a great day!

I think we had the same builder. LOL. The old door of that linen closet is an accordion door. Thats what was available back in the 90's to save space. Mine finally gave way and i bought the same door. I put it on but it is a hair off (not 2 inches). I will use that sander to slowly remove a hair (1/16th of an inch) off the side on the hinge side so the door will finally close after a year or so when i put it on and left it in the open position. Thanks for pointing it out for me to rather remove from the hinge side.

[@AdventuresAtHome1]

I’m glad the video helped you. Have a great weekend!

I have always had a tough time hanging doors. I end up figuring it out but I always seem to run into some trouble. Nice little departure from the norm with this video. I also see you are up to 125 subs. You are moving along nicely.

[@AdventuresAtHome1]

Hey Darrin, Thanks for your comment! Doors have always been difficult for me also. We are still snowed-in but the snow is melting fast! I should be able to get outdoors soon and do some more firewood videos. I need some more loose-stack firewood for the stand. We have been out of inventory for a couple weeks. We picked up another sub yesterday to bring us to 125. It looks like we will get our 4,000 hours before the 1K subscribers at this rate. Have a great day! Hope to see you on the Back 40 livestream tonight!

[@woodruffwoods]

@@AdventuresAtHome1 I think it is common that your watch time gets there first. I will likely be on the live stream tonight.

[@WhoOwl-o4f]

If you ever do this project again and don’t have clamps to hold both of the side of the panels tight together you can use a bit of super glue to temporarily hold the door together while the wood glue dries for a hour also acetone in a little spray bottle works wonders when using it with the super glue to speed the glueing process up

[@AdventuresAtHome1]

Thanks for the advice!

[@johnreinikainen2364]

I’ll be doing similar. My door will be cut back further due to the location it’s being installed as a laundry area door. I’ll try to video as to share.

[@AdventuresAtHome1]

Great! I hope that it goes well for you.

[@logginlogan6796]

New sub!

[@AdventuresAtHome1]

Hey Logan, Thanks for subscribing! I really like your pallet shed for your log splitter! Do you have a video on it? Tom

[@logginlogan6796]

@@AdventuresAtHome1 I do a little explaining on it in my video called Box Store saws

[@abanks2771]

Now your door is offset. Wouldn't it make more sense to cut equal amounts off of each side? You would need to buy a door without the door knob cut out.

[@AdventuresAtHome1]

Yes, the door is slightly offset; however, it isn’t very noticeable. Again, it is a closet door in the bathroom. Cutting away from the other side wasn’t an option.

[@Cyberdemon1985]

It isn't an option because you will be getting too close to the key hole then you will throw the door away. What you did was good until they finally do make the 26" doors in the future.

[@danielchism934]

All you have to do is cut your keyhole back out. Not trying to knock anyone on a DIY project but with any door that has detail such as a six panel, it's better to rip it evenly from both sides. If you can't cut the keyhole and knob out properly then you probably shouldn't be doing this project anyway.

[@joannpadia]

Not sure why you chose a table saw rather than a circular saw to cut the door down.

[@AdventuresAtHome1]

I chose the table saw to ensure that I made a straight cut.

[@nazsalabarria860]

Why do people on these videos feel the need to talk so much and give so much unnecessary info

[@AdventuresAtHome1]

You can 2x the speed or forward through it. That's what I do.

[@nicolebarnett8702]

Ffs how do I get Google to understand "how to make a hollow core door wider. " here I am wasting more time out of life for something I have no use for. Thanks anyway

[@AdventuresAtHome1]

Sorry about that. I didn’t think anyone would be making a hollow core door wider.

[@bowdenimages1197]

Why wouldn’t you just reframe the door? Jesus lol

[@AdventuresAtHome1]

Because the closet could not be widened.

[@Siouxperman]

Dude why are you looking scared to death to talk to the camera?? Just work, we could watch n figure out what your doing. Just a tip.

[@AdventuresAtHome1]

What can I say? I’m an introvert and speaking on camera makes me nervous. Anyway, I’m getting more comfortable in front of the camera. Thanks for watching. I hope the video helped you.
