Fitting & Hanging French Doors
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 10. 2020
- In this video I fit and install a pair of internal french doors following last week's video when I built a stud partition wall to create a new office space/guest bedroom for my fiance. I'll show you how to hang doors, or at least how I do it anyway! This is only the fifth door I've ever fitted, and it's my first time fitting french doors, so a bit of a learning curve but it went pretty well.
Here's the previous video where I built the wall:

"My fiance-slash-guest bedroom", not a nice way to talk about your fiance, Keith! 😉 Dylan still has that sassy walk, despite his age. The room's looking great, looking forward to seeing the skimming and finish. Big thanks for sharing.🙏🏻
😂 With age, Dylan's belly now wobbles from side to side when he walks... It's brilliant! Thanks Mandy
Was just about to say the same!
Done alright there mate! Fitting doors is my bread and butter and you've done a tidier job than alot of carpenters. Normally use a pine lining about 30mm thick so that the architrave can be nailed to it but you done a tidy job with that
In our first house it used to take me a weekend to fit one door as none of the openings was straight and all of the next week to get my wife speaking to me again. I employed a carpenter who fitted seven doors perfectly in one day, money well spent. Great video as always and Dillon sure looks at home.
Cheers, wow 7 in a day that's crazy! I've heard of people doing 4 or 5 but never 7!
hey buddy quick tip. never cut your door. use 4'' heavy duty screws in your hinges to move over the gaps. you'd be surprised how fast a couple of hits with an impact driver you can shift gaps on a door. it can be used on any gap all the way around the door. if your doors were square obviously now they're not. if you need clarification let me know. i can make very quick video explaining if need be.
Answered all the questions i had about MDF door linings on top of door jams and securing the hinges through it. Loved your idea for hiding the door bolt into the architraves. Your videos are fantastic !
Hey Keith, my doors are mounted by professionals but yours are looking better, seriously. No worries you did a great job man! Cheers
Thank you
im an apprentice carpenter and im learning how to do these on friday for my level 3 course, you might not be a pro but you got some good ideas, thank you this helped a lot
Never seen French doors like that here in the States, look real good!
I would not have been able to resist adding a transom window above the set of doors in the last still photo you showed. Love the doors, great job. 👍🏻
Thanks. There's an RSJ in the way!!! 👍
Love your videos, excellent work. I have done this twice. It is a lot of work trying to get right. Well done.
Might not be a professional Kieth, but a very professional job, professionally approached and performed, and the finished result is awesome, great job.Cheers from Aus!!!!
Thank you
Nice work Keith. I was at first skeptical of the choice to leave the carpet under your framed wall but seeing your completed work they look totally pro. Nicely done and I’m sure saving you lots of money.
You have done a great job there Keith, I have seen some pro's who not have got that good, well done Mate and Stay Safe !!!.
Routering tip, if you have to cut hinges into a door again it's worth clamping a length of 4 x 2 or similar to the face of the door so it's flush with the edge, that gives you twice the reference surface for you router to ride on & makes it a lot easier to keep it square. Keep up the good work.
If you don't hang doors that often Keith you have done a stirling job.Looks great.
Great job there mate I like the blocks you used for holding the doors while you cut out for the hinges.
Check out flush fit bolts, less of a mouth full and even more discreet than a bathroom latch
Well done keith you’ve done a wonderful job. What you can do is make the lining first set it square with braces and hang the doors . No need to trim edges that way then build the stud wall and set the lining within and pack any gaps and old chippy taught me that . Again week done it looks awesome .
Cheers Joe
Well done Keith looks and turned out lovely
You have the exact same locks I bought for my French doors and I hid them in the architrave too. Great minds fella 😉🤓🤣
Good job mate 👍
I really like the videos. Where you do stuff. I can no longer do but I love to kibbutz.
The doors are very nice , i love that kind with the glass the room look more airy . I can t wait to see how the room will be finished clean and everything in place . NIce job and Dylan yes stole a moment of the video cool cat with a cool dad !!!!!!!!!!!!! Great job !!!!
Thank you!
Great job Keith!
Nice job Keith! Thanks for sharing the video with us!💖👌👍😎JP
Good job Keith, those doors are going to look great. Its nice having 12v drills drivers isn't it, better than massive 18v ones at times. Cheers Paul
Yeah I tend to reach for the 12v 90% of the time. Saying that, I'm really fond of the 18v Milwaukee drill recently, it's so quiet!! I have a thing for quiet tools for some reason 🤔
It's looking good Keith 👍
Excellent work Keith!
Great job Keith! Love Dylan’s cat walk half way through.
"an office space for my fiancé/guest bedroom"
Interesting pet name;)
PIVs are good, for little bit more money you can get an heat exchanger which will save money on bills. I also recommend a system 3 extractor fan which constantly runs effectively doing what you PIV is doing. I have a Bungelow also so know what you mean about Condensation
Nicely done Keith 😁. Great to see your getting some good use out of the red tools 👍. Looking forward to the next video 😁👍
It's great learning new skills isn't it Keith, so many different areas to carpentry. The doors look great as well so alls good.
Cheers Karl. Pretty chuffed with them
That was very awesome. I love those doors.
Great vid man, I always like to watch British tutorials
Great job. It would be interesting to see a video about the air system you mentioned in this video if you ever have chance. The room is looking great!
great project. this is really helpful and pleasant to watch
I fitted a drymaster at mine and it worked a treat 👍
Forstner bit works wonders for making those door furniture holes, as you can simply go down, and then enlarge just by applying a little sideways force to the bit. Works well when installing 3 lever locksets, as you just mark out the cut, put a bit of tape on the bit to show the depth of the cut needed ( plus 5mm clearance for the bottom, not going to be exact) and drill in, then join all the holes with a little sideways force, and you can drill while pulling out as well. Not going to look perfect first time inside, but the lock will fit.
Not that I hang doors regular, but made hanging 3 less than a day's work. I had to drill one new door, and move the furniture on the other 2 to fit the new stuff, plus plane them down just a few centimeters all round to fit the old frames. hollow core doors, at least the cheap ones, you get little wood in there aside from the marked areas for hinges and lockset, the rest is a little thin skin of wood glued down. Had to cut the outside skin and glue the base back on on one, as it would have vanished trying to get the cut needed.
Хорошо. Все подробно! Для тех кто никогда ничего не делал.
Great Video! Always a treat to see Dylan. Cheers :)
I know this is to a tight budget and just making you aware in case you aren’t....did you look at double pocket door kits that hide the leaves within the stud wall when open? They give a great feeling of space and the kits with a drive system operate both door as a pair so they always meet in the centre. Also/or as a budget option parliament hinges allow the doors to swing past the architrave and open flat against the wall. I’ve used a few sets of the latter as a cheap upgrade when people want the doors open a lot for parties or whatever.
Nice little project (as ever). Alternatively you could route the frame hinges in, hang the doors, then fit the stop trims against the doors for a guaranteed fit.
Nice job - Thanks for sharing
Still a pretty good job !
cheers, lovely project mate
As ever nice job and an interesting video, I always like your problem solving.
snap! we have the same doors for my downstairs :) Good job nicely done as usual :)
been hanging doors for years but still watching a video of someone doing them, i would avoid gluing the door stops just in case they need moving over after you fitted the doors if the door binds on them, plus always allow a bit for paint ;)
That's a very good point 👍
Great job.
Would love a video about the PIV system any chance you can consider a video as your explanation is very no nonsense 👍
I'm not sure a woodworking channel is the right place for it, plus I've not really got much else to say about it other than that it has reduced humidity from around 80-85% to around 60-65%
looks great.
Nice job mate door look good and ur just like a pro beat is so nice to have all them nice no tools u worked so hard to get we’re u are now u so deserve it mate oh ps thanks for the sticker ur on the sticker door in my new workshop lovely the Video’s keep up the great work mate 👍
Thanks Shaun
Bastante bueno!!!, muy agradecido.
Neat job Keith, definitely something to be proud of👍
6:49 that little bit of mdf if in the top corner of the hinge really bugged me lol
Well done! Hanging doors is quite daunting as there's so many variables. Your video is awesome! So much effort has gone into it. You put my videos to shame!
Thank you
Great vid Keith; good pointer to leave 10mm under each door -I recently moved into a bungalow and know what you mean re condensation/damp/mould. Have been using a dehumidifier in the humid months, but will also check out the PIV system, thanks for recommending. atb
Stick with the dehumidifier, PIV systems waste an awful lot of heat in the winter, I am surprised they are allowed to be fitted given how we are trying to make homes more efficient.
@@caskwith thanks for your input. I just insulated the bungalow (cavity wall and 400mm in loft) so will see how it goes this winter.
Definitely check them out, ours has been really effective and the air just feels so much fresher too. Wouldn't be without it
Nice! Thanks!
good job👏👍
Anothere wow 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Would have been worth putting the doors together and marking across both for the hinge locations.
One thing i would have done ,primed the mdf easier to sand the edges
We did two coats of primer
Really interesting to see. I’m no joiner or door fitter. Looks great Keith. I wonder if a multi tool would of work on some of this.
Nice job, that’s what I call my latches too😂😂😂
Beautiful job Keith. You say you’re not a professional, but I work onsite a lot and have seen a lot of worse so called professional jobs 👍
Which vacuum do you usually attach the track saw to with that attachment? Thank you
Tidy job Keith. I fit a lot of doors in the day job. It's pain when things don't quite meet. I would have crept up on material removal to get a nice even centre line, even if it means taking the doors off a couple or more times but I'm being picky really. The sort of picky that comes from customers holding their wallets tight , watching you work over your shoulder :) From the stuff on YT and pics on Insta etc, looks like you're doing a lovely job on the place mate.
Cheers Stew. To be honest the standards in our bungalow were pretty low - the two doors I've fitted here are the better fitting doors, the rest are a right mess and appear to have been fitted by someone more amateurish than me so I wasn't really striving for a perfect fit 😂 plus I'm no Gid Joiner! Have you ever considered doing a q&a on your channel by the way? I'd love to find out more about you and the work you do in your day job! I'm sure others would too 👍
@@RagnBoneBrown No, you're doing a grand job mate. You can take pride in what you've done with the place bud. Watched a few of Gids videos. He reminds me of one of the boat builders I used to work with. Rough diamonds. Been thinking about my channel of late tbh. New direction, different types of content or even whether to continue. Quite happy for it to stay as my personal tinkerers corner for the time being. Could be open to a q&a. Not sure I get enough interaction on my channel to bother though.
u need to hang the doors 1st and then nail the door stop,that is to adjust if needed and avoid rattle
That makes sense. Luckily didn't have any issues tho
yo is da beast!
Hello! Where did you purchase the rebated latch from??
Great video, i have a lounge / dining room. with a open doorway (no doors fitted). I'm wanting to fit double french doors, the thickness of the wall is 16cm, and i was going to fit a lining, with the doors opening into the dining room. But i had a question, should i mount the doors in the middle, or have them more to the living room or dining room side? As the doors themselves are only 3.5cm thick, but the wall/lining will be 16cm thick ?
If the doors are opening in to your dining room that will mean that the pin side of the hinge will also be on that side, so personally I would position the doors so they are flush with the walls in the dining room
Good job, nice and tidy for Simone who has only done one previous wall. Did you cut the carpets or build the wall on top of it?
Just watched the previous video, no you didn’t! Not gonna lie that has made me upset 😭 but great job anyway 👍🏻
Ice. Where did you get the doors from
Where did you get those doors please Keith?
Hello, my french door closes but wobbles alot when closed. Any trick to fix this? Thanks.
You could add a drop bolt at the bottom
What apps do you use to plan your projects ?
Hi Keith! I'm interested in the PIV system you have as I also suffer from condensation in my bungalow. Can I ask who fitted yours? I'm located in Suffolk near Bury St Edmunds.
Is that the World of warcraft auction house bell sound at 0:17...?
Hi where did you buy these doors from
Future Keith wouldn't know next weeks winning lottery numbers????
If he did I'd doubt he would share them! 😂
When installing your PIV, did you look at MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery) to retain heat within the bungalow ? A bit more expensive to install but savings made on heating.
From what I understand they require a lot of ducting etc throughout the house to get an effective system. Not something that would be affordable for us I expect
This is a great video! how long did the whole project take?
Nice one Keith 👍🏼. Do you know where the inconsistent dimensions were created? Stud work our of plumb? Hinge depths different? Door linings? Doors with tolerance?
Cheers Ryan, probably a mixture of a few of those things I suspect. Both the studs were measuring plumb, so I'm not really sure where the discrepancy came from
Your method was the problem there, first thing you should do is offer the door to the opening and shoot it in. Also door linings are normally packed from the studwork plumb and the head level, the more accurate the better for hanging the doors, especially double rebated doors!
Would you do it different next time? like for example making the wall frame door gap bigger to avoid cutting the doors?
I'd rather the door opening be too small than too big as it's really easy to trim the doors and they needed a coat of paint anyway. There were things I'd do differently with the wall build, I'll try and cover them in the next vid 👍
Hi Keith I bought the Milwaukee brad nailer you used in the video ,as you have used other makes of nailers I was wondering how it compared to the other one's you have used?
I've only ever used one other. Both worked great for me
Was your door hole in the wall square? Did you have even gap down the length of the door to frame? Surprised you had to taper cut top & sides of the doors, indicates something wasn't square...!!
Butt good effort & job finish overcoming the difficulties.
The uprights measured plumb. I didn't really check for square at all. Not sure where the discrepancy occurred but a 6mm discrepancy across 1.98m isn't that bad anyway I suppose
Great video as always.
A question about the PIV though - Wouldn't it be cheaper long term to invest in a similar MVHR unit?
From what I understand they require a lot of ducting etc throughout the house to get an effective system. Not something that would be affordable for us I expect. The piv is pretty cheap and works great and easy to install with minimal set up
Why do you use MDF surly the door will fall off in a week
Nice.
.😊👍
Have you seen those trend corner chisels for fitting hinges etc? I was just wondering if you rate them or not.
I've not used them but I think I've seen Gid Joiner using them. Probably useful if you fit a lot of doors but not something I do a lot of
@@RagnBoneBrown yeah you’re probably right, I’ll save my pocket money for something I do need. I was tempted because it’s shiny.
Can you provide a link to your PIV system in your loft please?
If you search for nuaire drimaster that's the one we've got. Worth its weight in gold 👍
Any reason why you didn't go for sliding doors ? Grtz
Not something we thought about really. We did want the doors to match our others tho
Hanging doors has got to be my least favourite job!
That door latch name 🤣
Did I miss something?? 🤔
Millimeters? Not centimetres? 🤔
people complain no matter what dimensions I use
@@RagnBoneBrown haha I'm just asking
🍻🍺👍
Hey keith whats up with the blood shot eyes filming late
Long hours at the moment
@@RagnBoneBrown hey keith have you got any advice for starting a channel and any camera advice
Out of interest Keith how long do you think it took in total?
Hi Adam, I think about 6 hours to do the wall and about 4 maybe 5 fitting the doors. Most carpenters would fit doors much quicker than that though!
