This was supposed to be a simple door install video. Part way through things go sideways and it takes some problem solving and a little carpenter's intuition to get the job done well. There are loads of tips in this video to help any door install go well!

Finally! Someone showed what to do when things aren't perfect. I've hung many doors and it's been my experience that you run into problems more often than is shown in most 'how to' videos. Twisted or bowed 2x4s, out of plumb walls, bowed walls and sometimes, bowed doors! Things go wrong and you have to fix them. Don't feel bad that the install in your video didn't go as 'smooth' as in all the other door install videos. This is a great video.

good video, would be great if he did the trim, because that is going to be a nightmare. what would he do rip a custom extension jam for half the jam that goes from 3/8 to nothing and extend 1/2 the trim with that same taper to return it to the wall?

The second woman spilled the blender which made her nervous and threw her off a bit. The woman that spilled the blender ended up selling more bc she was more relatable to her audience. Thanks for showing that you had to start over like what happens in the real world with hanging doors.

As a retired Carpenter, I removed the door from the jamb and leveled my headjamb, then go to the hinge jamb and I always ran a 2 1/2" deck screw into the center screw hole of the hinge after I removed the short screw in the hinge. At this point, I put in the door and finished with the latch jamb hung to the door. I never used screws in my jamb... just in the hinges. I used 8p finish nails in the rest of the jamb installation.

The fact that you found one plumb wall is a surprise to me. Certainly anyone that has hung a door feels for you. It is a real pain. The only ones I have found moderately easy were ones that I installed the rough framing, since I spent extra time making sure it was completely plumb and wide enough to a little slack to be filled by the shims. As a Tip: The door appears to be opening about an inch on its own. That normally indicates that the hinge side jam is less then 90 degrees to the door. An acute angle like that binds the hinge slightly so that it causes a very little spring effect. It can be solved very simply by loosening the jam side of the hinge and placing a piece of paper about the width of a playing card under the inner half of the hinge wing (the side against the knuckle and the pin). I have found it generally takes two to three folds of the card to make the pin side of the hinge move enough to square the hinge with the door when the door is closed. Ironically, yesterday I was a clients house working on some cabinets and she asked if there was anything I could do about a door that had been sticking and rubbing on the latch side. I did the exact same thing but in this case, put the card shims under the outer half of the hinge wing. This causes the hinge pin to move away from the latch side. 10 minutes and a door that was stuck for a 16 mos was fixed.

@@@yevreeva Here is a video that shows what I was attempting to describe. kzbin.info/www/bejne/baDLgaCEZ6aaha8 I found it with a quick search and a few views of the result to find one that came close. In all my years I have never pulled out a plane to solve a door issue like that guy suggested at the end of his video. The problem is that the rub will come back over time since the weight of the door is shifted cause even more stress on those hinges. Especially if the frame is installed as professionally as was @Vancouver Carpenter. His perfectionist attitude towards work is amazing. If the house has not settled and caused the door frame to be way out of square, you can use this technique. But before you do, check to make sure the knuckles that the pin goes through have not been sprung. If they are bent open then replace the hinges with new hinges. Then see if it need further adjustment. If the frame IS way way way out of square/plumb then unfortunately is is best to remove trim and free up the frame by cutting the frame nails with a reciprocating saw. Its actually not as bad as it sounds. You are just rehanging the door. @Vancouver Carpenter - sorry for taking over the thread with my long diatribe. Keep up these fantastic videos, you are one of the best on youtube for sure. Chuck

Just paid a 'pro' with great reviews to add a closet to a room. I ended up with very badly framed walls and I stopped him after he'd spent hours (literally) trying to hang the two doors with no success. Took me a day to tear down, and another to frame out properly my darn self. THANK YOU for showing how to adjust for mistakes. Had I seen this video before I did the tear down, I would have been able to frame the door correctly myself without the extra work of reframing. Saved your video for the next time I delude myself into thinking things will be quicker and more professionally done when hiring a pro!

Fantastic video. You're a great teacher. I found your video because I'm in the middle of a nightmarish installation of a new exterior steel door slab in an existing frame. My search term was "how to install new steel door slab in existing warped frame". The new door is 1/4" proud of the frame at latch side top corner. I'm thinking of slicing a long tapered piece of poplar to make the door reveal uniform from top to bottom. I appreciate that you obviously spent a lot of time making sure your video was helpful. I am guessing you rehearsed what you were going to say and do before you actually started making the video. You speak clearly and concisely and don't sprinkle in unnecessary "ums, errs and ahhs". I've installed lots of doors in my 60 years of DIY work and many have problems like you ran into. Plumb and square framing is not as common as one would wish. I'd say it's a good thing you had problems because you calmly explain how to work your way through them. You were wise to forge ahead and make the video with this door rather than take the easy way out and do one without problems. I'd hire you if it wasn't for the fact it's rewarding to do things myself!

Thanks for showing us what to do when there's a problem. I have a feeling that's the sort of thing I'll be dealing with when I switch out my doors.

this might be one of the first videos ive seen from u a few years ago, or atleast one of the first i remember. and back when i did see this, i was like nope...doors are hard to do. fast forward a few years and still, not a ton of experience under my belt but ive cut some drywal, and added new outlets, patched drywall, so im getting a feel, and here i am, watching this video again. i can say today, i feel better about trying something like this. this video is good because it shows, hey...this isnt always easy, stuff happens, and sometimes u gotta do what u gotta do to get it to work. and thats huge for people watching to understand, we dont have to be amazing and perfect with tons of experience. this stuff happens, just gotta know how to combat against it. love ur videos

All your videos are wonderful! Love the easy to digest straightforward answers that breakdown the basics to any given task while also showing some unconventional methods along the way. Your comparisons of techniques and approachable attitude inject that much needed confidence to push through any learning curves to master a seemingly impossible task. Showing your “mistakes” and “afterthoughts” is a welcomed touch that legitimizes your advice and gives permission to newcomers to embrace hurdles as the learning moments they prove to be.

I enjoyed your video. When I was younger, I worked as a finish carpenter. The first tools I took into a new job was a 6 foot level & a large sledge hammer, just to get all the rough frame openings square & plumb. Next I'd rasp, or saw off all of the overhanging sheetrock in the door openings. Then place the framed door into the wall opening, jamb a shim on either side of the door frame header, so the frame would hold still, step back & look at the door/frame reveal & adjust as needed. From here, I'd hang the hinge side, then the latch side, similar to your method.

Great video!! A lot of professional videos only show how a door is installed under “new home” circumstances. Or if doing remodeling they’ll only show the smooth set up and not the rework because of warped walls. The “pros” think it makes them look like they don’t know what they’re doing. But in reality no job ever goes picture perfect. There is almost always rework, and being able to work through issues like this is what defines a skilled laborer and puts them a step above someone simply putting all the pieces together. Again, awesome video!!

Easiest way is to trim back the drywall....shave it down so the casing is recessed slightly into it where the drywall sticks out....I've had to do this a few times ...if done carefully nobody will even notice unless they really look at it.

Use a flush cut router bit to ride the sheetrock and cut the jamb. After it's flush, scribe and cut a jamb extension. Apply wood glue and tack it onto the jamb.

Loved the video. I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that you used a real situation and not something staged that always shows a perfect fit. You are way nicer than I would have been. I would have called that GC and told him to get over here and fix his jams, but, I do know it’s quicker to fix the situation yourself than it is trying to wrangle a GC up and actually get a fix done in a timely manner.
