HANGING NEW DOORS TO OLD FRAMES

Ply to floor should be screwed with zinc screws lad not dry walls 👍🔨🪚for next time

Great video. Enjoying the channel!
I’m thinking about going for Milwaukee as I’m due a mass tool upgrade. Not sure I can justify the price but it looks like awesome kit!

It might be difficult if you where only using a circular saw, try using a hand sa and a hand plane. It's a whole different trade now, for the better.

Perfect timing on this vid. I am looking to fit around 14 new doors to old frames soon (also a 100 year old house - but through in Edin) . Also looking to get into Milwaukee tools as an upgrade. A latch video would be great, and also any tips for jigs etc to make life easier when doing lots of doors at the same time? Great channel - keep at it!

2nd year apprentice. Just did this mon/ Tuesday this week before going on holiday. Wish I’d seen this before haha mighta done them quicker

What tool belt are you using mate

Awesome video guys! Hope you have a nice Christmas 🙂

Is there extraction on the little planer

What do charge for fitting a door

Should be rly using ball bearing hinges for them doors terrible then standard butts

Always got taught to use timber wedges to push in to keep door tight to the hinge side, instead of using metal… everyone’s different mate

Why you putting dry Wall screws in floor? Is it because it's quicker with the gun because i know you haven't been doing that years 😂 you know its no right 😂 lietubers you all should be called

Hi great work, do you not put a leading edge on the doors or is that in the past now

A piece of tape is better to identify the hinge side of a hardwood door like this, marking with a pencil is a no ,no!😂

Well thats a first, I've never seen anyone use a sander to hang a door!😂

Hi keel
Well impressed by your door hanging methods, I've been working 44yrs on the tools ,old frames can be torture some newer ones not much better
The leading edge not used much these days but is necessary when the frame is twisted i always sand the door edges to remove the planer ripples the rotex makes quick work of them. The Stanley lifter is great in conjunction with the air bags, it's better than the viking arm as it can be foot operated them fire doors aren't much fun to be handling in and out of bad frames a few times 😢
Not sure about the use of the drywall screws sheer strength and all that jazz! Subscribed and looking forward to the understairs video.

Nice work, Chris.

Thats literally exactly same the way I fit my doors step by step. (Although I prefer the trim router for hinges). Nice margins mate!

When I was renovating my last house someone had put down 18mm plywood on the upstairs floor. The boards were nailed with 6 inch wire nails, I had a great time taking them out to replace the floor. 😂

looks like uve spent at least 20k starting up?

Nooice!

what pouches are you using?

Deffo a sub. Thanks for a useful vid.

What width were the frames if you don't mind me asking.

Im a carpenter from australia. Love to watch your videos! Hope you put more videos out 2025!

Hi mate, great video. Just wondering - does it matter if you fit the door first and then the trim/architrave. Or should you always fit trim/architrave first and then the door? Cheers

Really enjoyed watching this, subscribed. Keen DIYer here. I Installed my first oak veneer door a few months ago, ended up taking too much off so had to pack out the hinges and latch. Learnt some good tips here for the other 4 I need to do around the house, thanks 👍🏻

Old school use a gauge 👍

Why don't you plane/cut a leading edge in your doors?

Carpenter of 40yrs, makes me happy to see the younger generation applying themselves to learn a trade that will carry them through life. well done lads.

64 year old joiner here ,its nice too see your young enthusiasm, it wont last 45 years 🤣 enjoy the jod while you can 👍
