Thanks Bryan for taking the time to help and plan how to shoot the video! Also thanks for keeping us motivated and moving towards our futures! - Jak na to + styl
This video is really good. I'm remodeling a rental property and replaced 3 bedroom doors. The painter said he could hang the doors but after 3 attempts (and many nail holes/frame damage) I had the young man watch the video with me and we hung the door together. We both learned how to do it and door looks great.
I taught him how to educate himself when he doesn't know what the hell he is doing 😂 and you taught him to hang doors. Thanks!
You HAVE to make videos again. Your expertise OWES it to the world!!!
Excellent tutorial. All the very important parts explained very simple and easy. Probably the best door video installation I’ve seen.
it all makes sense after you set a few hundred of them. nice job!
This guy is legendoory
This is a great video, especially if you watch the 5 minute version first. Allot of new guys watch an old pro do something and have no idea how much focus and concentration is involved. The two videos together are great training material for beginners.
Great job, Hunter Carlson! If I had only watched your video 8 door installations ago. The good thing is that I still have six more installations to go and I will definitely use your method!
Great video.
I had three solid core doors to install on a remodel this weekend.
Since it was ten years since I last installed an interior door, I hit CZcams for a refresher.
Came across your video....wonderful.
I was taught to hang the door while shimming to level in both directions.
I was taught sooooooo wrong, and hanging doors was intimidating.
This weekend, they went up so easy and smooth with minimal issues.
Thank you.
Dave
This is exactly how I hang doors at work. Significantly faster than shimming the opening first. Glad I finally found someone doig it in a video.
Exactly this is the best way to do it, I’m doing installation doors in mass production and this the way work best for me
I watch a ton of DYI videos and this is the 1st one I have been compelled to comment on. Very well explained and helpful in your explanation. Well Done Hunter!
Thank you very much Greg I truly appreciate it! Have a blessed day 😎
I really enjoyed this video. I am a retired trim carpenter from Texas. I think that you did a really nice job. I just have 1 comment that you might find useful. When you're hanging the pre-hung unit. After you've gone through setting the hinge side and the header, before nailing off the strike side. Take a 1-3/4 paddle bit slide the shaft between the hinges and gently close the door " not all the way but just enough to slightly bend the hing." Do this to each hing this will help to establish the margin on the hing side of the door. You might also use your pencil for this as well. Thank you
Yes, that's how it's done. I posted your link to several amateur trim carpenter youtube that claim they know what's best.
Good joiner work
From a fellow joiner in the uk 👍🏻
What I usually do though is I make the architrave up as complete sets using mitre bond then pin them on
Excellent explanation thank you and God bless you
Thank you soo much hunter keep doing this awesome carpentry videos
this guy is good at explaining things
I wanna try this method next time on an interior install. Still were able to address all the issues I thought were gonna be a problem. And plumbing off the hinges makes sense because factory hinges may be set slightly off and that’s what the door hangs from. I’ve never tried this method before, but it looks fun and fast so I’m definitely going to give it a go at some point.
Best door installation video on CZcams. I install for a tract builder in South Carolina and this is pretty close to how I see it done around here. Next video make one on installing an open rail
Thank you very much for your compliment! I’ll do my best to get more footage out there and especially one of an open rail! Appreciate your time! Have a blessed day 😎
Im a women who enjoys diy thank you so much for such a great job at detailing the process. im going to attempt this on the weekend in my home
I’ve been doing it a little different….thanks for the tip!
Reality is malleable. Lol, flex and squeeze your way to the finish line. 😅😂 I love it, man! Thank you
Great job, that's the best way. Thank you
This is by far the best video on installing doors. I just hung 3 doors, first one took about 20 minutes and the others were less than 10. I am not a finish carpenter, I don’t even work in construction but I do a lot of DIY stuff so I’m pretty handy. Thank you for this video, made this process so much easier for me 👍👌🙏🤙
Mahalo!!
Andrew thank you so much for the feedback! I’m glad I was able to help out with your DIY projects! Keep crushing it and have a blessed day 😎
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing your talent, you are right to to the point. Wondering if you would create a new video on how to prepare an existing wall (cutting the dry wall and framing it) to hang a new door!
Perfect technique thank you
I'm amazed. I am trying to improve my efficiency. It's definitely a struggle. Currently the project I'm on have KD doors it's such a pain. Takes so much longer. Thanks for the inspiration
Keep the motivation going! This is the easiest door to install because it is light weight, it has a good quality build with the door stop nailed in the right position and I’m working with the easiest style casing…doors from other manufacturers can sometimes take much longer to get installed properly! Some can take me up to an hour to install…hope your pricing is set accordingly! Thanks for watching and have a blessed day 😎
Thanks make sense and well explained
Great tutorial thanks for sharing
Good informative video. I may try this technique. I do production trim and have met guys who pre cased the door and installed it this way.. after watching this video I might try it out now and see how it goes
I appreciate your comment! Let me know how it goes if you do end up trying this method! Let me know if you have any questions as well…thanks for watching and have a blessed day 😎
Great video!! Thank you!
Perfect and explained 👏👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for the good explanation
Great vid man great to see your local to Colorado
Perfecto mundo amigo. Beautiful work. Thanks a lot. Blessings.

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your time watching and subscribing to the channel! Hope you were able to learn something, any questions please let me know! Have a blessed day!
Very well done video
Gorgeous view!!!!
This area in Castle Rock has stunning views that give you almost a 180 view of the Rocky Mountains! So happy to live in a beautiful state! I appreciate all the comments! I do need to integrate more safety like the use of glasses, ear protection, knee pads, mask for dust…there are certain times that I do have all of these present on the job, but not always. Part of it is falling into a routine not using these safety items and always coming out of the job harm free. You are correct, I need to be thankful nothing has happened yet and start using these things more often! Appreciate your time! Thank you for subbing and have a blessed day 😎
Thanks for the video u answered my question I had from the first video I saw about what size nails to use thank u
Thank you for watching and looking through the channel! I appreciate your time and hope I was able to teach you something! Any other questions please let me know! Have a blessed day 😎

Exelente and perfect.
Ive door installed from muti family units to high end for 10 years . U definitely explained it very detailed , next time you should make a video where you create a jamb extension on a door or window think ppl will really like that
Thank you very much for your time watching and leaving feedback! I appreciate your comment especially from someone who has experience and can hang some doors themselves! I will try my best to get more footage of some jamb extensions or just more footage in general! Look forward to more from you in the future! Have a blessed day 😎
BRILLIANT
Thank you! Have a blessed day 😎
This is the best demonstration I've seen of how to hang an interior door. Thank you!
I appreciate it! Thank you for watching and have a blessed day 😎
I’d learn a lot from this video thank you I’m subscribing like it sharing and hit that bell
Que buen trabajo, así se deben hacer las cosas
You are expert
Exactly the same way I’ve done it for 15 years now. Nailed it!
Bad ass video man, very well explained! Keep these videos coming. Subscribed!
The best
Great job brother 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊😊
New subscriber!!! Please stay safe &wear safely glasses when using a finish nail gun young man👍
With the advent of thicker casings I assume the reveals change. We are now doing 3/4 thick 4 inch wide casings as the norm. So hinges cant pinch or the door handle latch plate. We also change door gaps depending on season they are installed. Humidity levels from summer to winter temp changes we have swings of plus 30 to minus 30 can swell doors a 1/8 inch we have encountered and their painted on all 6 sides
The Bob Ross of doors!!! Bad A$$$$$$ ......
I just wanted to say thank you very much for making this video and for the very entertaining and impressive sub- 5 minute install! I wish I had seen this video years ago before doing doors in our basement, all of which don’t quite fit right. I just hung a door in our garage and it took a lot of patience but this video was the key to making sense of it all and getting the gaps to be about the same. Thanks again for your help!
Amazing to see a guy who knows what it takes to set a door properly. So easy to just play the game with those shims to get that install that lasts.
Hunter you are really good at teaching. Keep the content coming.
Thank you so much! My partner who usually films and helps me on the project had shoulder surgery a few months ago so I have definitely slowed down on my company’s productivity and on making videos! I know it’s not a very good excuse…I’ll do my best to get more footage and more videos coming! Appreciate you Randell!
Thanks for the 5-minute door install shown in 25 minutes...lol. Cheers.
I have another video on the channel where I install a door in under 5 minutes, more of a demonstration then actual teaching…thanks for watching and have a blessed day 😎
You can’t teach someone how to do something in a five-minute video. He made a step-by-step how-to, and you are focused on how long it took to explain instead of focusing on what you learned.
That work fine for plum door rough framing
Just get a spit jam door ha
I got my first door install coming up, (Weekend Warrior) like always I wing it and figure it out as I go. With your video, I feel more confident that I will get it done correctly.
Appreciate it Malcolm! You got this! Let me know how it goes! Thanks for watching and have a blessed day 😎
You are the best I've seen yet.
Ninja
I do construction.
And you remind me of my older son.
You are the best on CZcams that I have seen.
I can hang a door pretty quick my self.
But you are the GUY!!!
Lol! I appreciate it Donald! What kind of construction?
@@huntercarlson5446 residential.
Windows, doors, siding, brick , interior trim.
Decks.sheet rock. Etc.
I don't do roofing. Or lay floors.
My knees are wore out.
Wow sounds like you have a lot of great experience in every area of the home! I hear ya on the knees, mine are staring to go numb lol. I’m a lot better about wearing knee pads these days. I have some experience in all areas of a residential home from a couple flip projects I was apart of, but my main focus is interior trim. Thanks for your time! Look forward to more comments from you in the future!
Bien chingon . I like that.
God bless ❤
Thank you! Have a blessed day as well! 😎
Fantastic work and attention to detail. hard to find people like you anymore
Appreciate your time watching the video and leaving a comment! If you ever have any questions I’m happy to help! Have a blessed day 😎
Excellent video! Instant sub. I’ve installed doors before but now I’ve learned how to install them much better! Thanks!
Thank you very much for your support and watching the video! I really appreciate the feedback! If you have any questions please let me know! Love your name by the way! WWG1WGA! Have a blessed day!
Getting ready to hang a door in a few weeks. I haven't done it in a while and you method is killer. Thanks for the the video it will help me a lot.
Very welcome! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment! Let me know how it goes or if you have any questions when it comes time to install! Have a blessed day 😎
Super good video, but I was wondering if you would be able to make a short video showing us how to adjust the reveals once a door is hung because sometimes the door I hang isn’t completely flush with the door stop and don’t know how to adjust it
I can totally do that! Give me until after the holidays and the next house of doors I will get some video! Thank you for the compliments! Have a blessed holiday!
This is the first time I’ve ever seen trim installed before the door was installed. I guess it works something like a door jig. I have two solid wood doors that were cut short for an old opening, I don’t want to throw out the doors so I’m going to try to extend them, so I can reuse them in the new opening. I always seem to take on a challenge. Do you have a video on how to install doors that are not pre hung and do not have the door frame installed? The opening I have is like the one in the video, studs and drywall.
Cool...
Thanks for watching! Have a blessed day 😎
I gotta get some suspenders like that
wow just like that
Thank you so much! I feel waaay more confident to install a door now!
"There's a left and a right hand" 😊
🤝🇦🇴 The best 🔥🔥
Really appreciate your time and comments! If you ever have a question let me know! Have a blessed day! 😎
master
Perfectly explained i thought i knew what i was doing well after watching im confident i can do my exterior door like a pro now Thank you
Excellent explanation
Thanks so much
at first I was thinking "why the heck is this guy putting the trim on first?".... and then I watched how quickly you leveled out the door and I immediately understood. brilliant. subbed just for that
I like your video, you are really good teacher you explain everything God bless you man
Thank you very much! I appreciate your time watching and hope I was able to teach you a trick or 2! Have a blessed day 😎
I have a set of french doors where the top of the functioning door does not meet the stop. How would you approach it? Thanks for a great video!
awesome you r the best teacher man we have a lot lern from you
I really appreciate the feedback Norman! Thank you! Have a blessed day 😎
@@huntercarlson5446 you too Hunter and go a head with your teachings
Excellent tradesman complete with coherent words and intelligence. Americans number one!
Very God
I really appreciate your videos bro.. #Respect 👊
Do you ever use a 15g nailer or do you find 18g and 16g sufficient for trim, casing, hanging doors? Etc etc, clearly from the video the 16g works great but was just hoping for a pros opinion
Hi Hunter, any chance you might do a video on base board installation tips for a quicker installation. For example, what pieces do you install first in a bedroom or closet. Also what technique you might use with larger base board and mdf vs pine.
Hey Alejandro! I don’t have any footage of installing baseboard at this time…I will definitely get some video for the future! When choosing what pieces to cut/install first it’s very easy for me. I go counter clockwise for measuring, cutting and installing…so when I’m on my knees measuring let’s say starting at the front door I will crawl counter clockwise through the entire 1st floor until I get back to the other side of the front door. I don’t install the big pieces first…I cut and then nail in the same order that I measured. I also “cope” all of my inside corners with the “cope” on the right side of each piece of base…
Just a quick explanation…I will get footage when I’m back to work after the holidays…
Thanks for your support and watching the channel! Have a blessed day 😎
Great step by step tutorial on installing a door. Thanks for the video.
With heavy solid core doors would you install one longer 3” screw through one hole in the butt hinge to secure tight to the framing stud?
Great Video and demonstration. When installing your shims behind the frame. Do you install the shims directly behind the door hinges or above or below the hinges?
Install them right above or below the hinge. This helps to not bind at the hinge and also allows you to adjust the door reveal by sucking a screw through the hinge in the future if needed. Technically below the bottom hinge and above the top hinge…thanks for watching and have a blessed day 😎
fantastic tutorial, cheers
Good for paint grade but not for stain
Very detailed, I learned a lot. Thanks
Great job my friend. Your a very good teacher.
Great video. Everyone says to use a 15g. Why do you use the 16g?
if your doing additional mill work for the header to build it up (craftsman style) , what would you have to change to install it ? I will need to be installing 6 shortly.
The only thing that would change would be leaving your header detail to the last step after the door is installed. I would simply nail my casing legs to the jamb(make sure to leave the proper header reveal at the top) and hang the door the same way. After the door is shimmed and nailed off then work on the header detail. You may need to flex the door jamb at the top up or down to get your proper spacing and reveals to work…hope this helps, thanks for watching and have a blessed day 😎
