Just a tip for anyone watching. I install commercial storefront doors for a living. The most important part of installing any door is making sure everything is perfectly level. Otherwise you will have issues with the door swinging out and hitting the ground, or there will be uneven gaps between the door and frame, or worst case it won't work at all.
What you want to do, is level up the ENTIRE frame with wood shims COMPLETELY prior to anchoring or nailing anything. Check for level in all 3 directions. (Across the header, down each vertical jamb where the door stops are, and down each vertical jamb on either the inside or outside.) Just because the door "lines up" with the wall framework and looks nice, doesn't mean it's level or will work AT ALL. Get the frame perfectly level no matter what, worry about looks after you're done.
Then you can either shove some plastic shims and anchor, or just anchor and break off the wood shims. The best and most proper is to use plastic shims as they don't rot and let the door drop or shift at all later down the road.
The way he did it in this video worked fine, but it very easily could've led to him getting the door out of square and making it a parallelogram due to the fact that he nailed one side, then shimmed the other and nailed it after the fact.
Well no kidding? Thought I would hang mine crooked
Thank you for the tips!! I will remember that..
this is good too. thanky ou
Thanks for the tip on plastic shimming, very appreciated.
Thank you
"super easy, you can do this yourself" moments later... "do know that everything is going to go wrong, and this is going to be difficult" lol!
My Grandpa was a finished carpenter who tough me how to do door installs as a kid. He just passed a few months back. Watching you hang that door brought back so many great memories of him. It may have just been a quick and instructive video for most, but I really loved it! Thanks Cody!
Next try nailing 2 pieces of strapping a foot from the bottom and a foot from the top. You can lift the door by yourself And holds the door in place.
Mean next time
Always level your sill first. I like to wrap the rough opening higher on the jack studs. Also always put about 3 beads of silicone down first before putting door in. Seals threshold to sill so water and draft can't find way into house. Seen that many times. I've got the Stabila Jammer Set levels for doing doors; 6'6" + 32" levels. That way when you're leveling up your hinge side you can make sure it's straight and you don't shim a bow into the hinges and cause hinge binding. Strike side I adjust to the door making sure the reveal stays consistent.
This has been the best tutorial that I have seen to date. Thanks for doing this one. Hanging a door has been a conundrum to me for years! Thanks!
You are an excellent educator. You explain things in an organized & clear manner. This is the best installation video I have seen. Thank you.
I picked up three new tips, timely as I'm replacing a door next week!!! Many thanks.
It was nice seeing Mrs. W., her smile always brightens the day.
This is the first time I have seen this as one continuous motion. Very useful. Thank you.
I appreciate your approach. Makes me feel like I can do it. I have done a lot of renovating with my ex-husband but now I am on my own so I always have to gear myself up. I watched some OCD videos and this was a perfect finish for those. Wish me luck!
I just discovered this channel from one of your "shorts". I love this channel! You're talking about everything I have going on in my life. The content is all very relevant to my life. You're like the father I never had.😅
Thanks for the video! I really like your choice of replacement. Simple yet elegant!
Perfect timing brother!!!! I'm just getting ready to do mine!!! Love it!
Your how to videos are really appreciated. It teaches me many things that I never learned. Thank you.
Thank you
Just wanted to say thank you. Probably the simplest explanation I've seen online. And VERY well done video. THANK YOU.
I like to put expanding foam between the door frame and the building before installing the brick moulding. Great video, Cody. I really like when you repair something.
So I watched a lot of your videos and this one came up as suggested. I have been looking for a replacement threshold cap when I spotted your prehung door came with exactly the same part I needed. It totally changed how/what I was searching the internet for. Thank you!
A big help to reduce weathering and greatly reduce heat loss in those brutally cold winters you have, would be to add a storm door to the outside of the regular door. I honestly can't believe you've been in that house for five or six years without one. No wonder the wooden door is so weathered.
Thanks for posting this video; it will come in handy when I replace my cheap basement door.
Don't let all the one-uppers and saftey sallies get you down! Keep up the great work.
"this Old House" is a great childhood memory of a show for me... that (along with Wranglerstar in my more recent years) was my inspiration for wood working and craftsmanship.
Thank you for making a difficult project look easy. But seriously that is the best way we have ever seen a door jam removed. Thanks for the teaching.
Hi wranglerstar! This is definitely my favourite channel, I first found it when you made videos on ram pumps.
This video is gold. Good commentary and real time install
Great job with the editing Cody. The quick transitions really helped to get a lot of info across.
I appreciate this video. Team work is a key to success. Thank you.
Nicely done! One tip for others planning to do this (as someone who has installed doors for a living for 10+ years), it's a good idea not to wear a tool belt while working on it as it increases the chance of scratching the slab while carrying, and making adjustments after the door is hung.
just a question out of curiosity, im a carpenter who works in a company with a special in doors/windows in denmark.
do you normally seal a door/ window with somekind of silicone or acryllic mass or is that not so popular in US?
Mikkel Bruun Usually we load up caulking under the threshold to keep air and moisture from getting to your flooring and then run a bead around the jamb behind the door casing.
As someone who has installed doors for a living for 10+years. If your not wearing a tool belt. your not making money. you are half as efficient without a tool belt. just learn where your tools hang in relation to your body. I have never scratched a door from a tool belt, or tools that hang off of it.
in denmark, we do the same under the threshold, but we also insulate with rockwool and then we seal the door completely with either silicone or acryllic mass. its funny how different something like installing a door can be across nations
There is no real standard so you will see a lot of solutions ( or lack thereof). I will typically use a closed cell (not "great stuff" open cell) minimally expanding foam with liquid flashing on the exterior. Copper sill pan, and a generous amount a lexel between both the sill pan and the wood, and the threshold and the sill pan. Cheaper installs will get self sealing membrane instead of cooper.
Well, I thought that was a great video Cody, thank you. Keep up the good work and continue to pass on good info! As a side note, I'd like to say that I was looking at the comments. God Bless for keeping your chin up and remember that your true followers won't get sucked into all that negativity. I think I'll refrain from reading comments
Great video and great instruction. Wished I saw this video before I put in the door to the new deck in the last of my video of the decking. We didn't have a door before so we had to make the hole for the door to. Once again really good instructions.
I feel like I am watching my dad, when he did this use to install doors in old homes. Good old days. Most respect.
Looks very nice, great job! Very helpful and informative.
Cody, here in New york (upstate not NYC) we get horrible winters and here's some tips I hope are helpful to you! I've always called the tape grace tape and I also take a heavy bead of good exterior silicone under the threshold and set the door in it! I also take the weatherstripping and pull it back and screw under that to hide it. Also before I trim it i take some of that grace tape and put it on the sides and top face on the outside to help seal the opening to keep and air from blowing into the house. Not to tell you how to do it!
A real pleasure to watch! I like the under-door treatment
Hey Cody, now all you need is a "how to" video on installing a concrete landing and porch overhang. It never ends brother! LOL
I appreciate these videos very much. I learn a tremendous amount so thank you!
Good Timing - A new door is on this month's to-do-list. Thanks
You bringing up MSG reminds me when I ate a probar on a hike. I was thirsty for two days.
So far I'm liking the way this guy works. where has this channel been?
Very nice. You and your wife work well together and you are so loving to her.
Yes!! You always cracked me up with your door comments on that old nasty door. Glad to see it go
Ive seen that old door for years in your videos, man what an upgrade!
Thanks for the tips on this kind of job, Cody.👍
I'm a finish carpenter and you did a good job
brilliant your a great teacher like the attention to detail keep up the good work
I was a SeaBee and before that I did a lot of construction so I have hung a lot of doors. I want to have a refresher since I am installing a new door. Very good video not talking above or below anyone's level
wonderful installation, enjoyed it
Interesting to see how different doors are mounted and are made in USA, compare with Norway.
Keep up the good work, thumbs up
I love these kind of videos!
thank you!!! I've been looking for this video for 2 years now, and I am not sure why your video never came up when I would search for installing new exterior door. I had to rebuild an exterior wall and instead of installing a sliding door like they had I wanted more cabinet space in my kitchen and went with a prehung steel door. and had to cut out for the sill plate
I like to put spray foam expansion insulation between door jamb and frame to stop cold air infiltration. Good Vid 👍
Beautiful door Cody! Nicely done!
I don't talk like that aye! Ha ha!!
We never repaint new outerdoors in scandinavia (norway sweeden denmark) you buy it, mount it, and wax it with car wax once a year and it last as long as the pant on your car, at least 25years.. and in that time the door is ready to be changed with a new door.
I love this guys videos
When alone, always unscrew door hinges from the bottom up. Best advice I ever got. It made me not hate removing or installing doors...
Happy to hear after 6 years you learned how to replace the door. Mrs W must be happy not to have to worry about bugs coming in any more.
Jude W another snarky Nancy in da 🏡🙄
I guess some people don't understand that text can be taken the wrong way. You don't hear the emotions behind it. See the smiles or hear the lol. It was not meant as critical at all. It is a compliment. Better late then never. I am truly happy he got around to doing it. Mrs W is a super nice lady. I'm sure if Mrs W thought it was a priority over other things it would have been done sooner. I know he is a great handy man and is very busy. Is your nick name real or fake? Now that is snarky. Do you take the time to watch all the video's and read everyone's comments as well? Now that is nosy lol. I think this family is wonderful and there should be more like them out there. NO nipping this one in the bud.
Lovely standardised screws. Nearly everything i've gotten for my house build has Torx 20 heads. A few large ones have T30 and the drywall screws are philips (for the drywall screw guns).
Loved and really needed to see this video before I install several interior and exterior doors. Besides the MSG, your body will also crave water when you consume protein (got that information from one of the survival shows).
Looks great. Thanks for the how to video.
Are you going to build a little concrete pad or wood platform at the exterior side of the door? Grade looks a little low
A few things to add... I use the black plug to keep the door square when pinning it in place. Just discard the jamb side of the plug be fore you slide the door in the opening.
90% of the time this will make the door square without even using a level on the hinge side.
When removing the short screw from the hinge, choose the screws closer to the weatherstrip in the center of the jamb. The screws on the edge, don't work as well.
Finally, you can also screw the striker side of the door, I flip the weather strip back with my finger and run a screw underneath it so you still get a good looking finish, for the top and bottom.
For the middle of the striker side use the striker mortise to hide the screw under the striker plate, just be sure to avoid the spot where the striker screws go.
Sounds like those of us learning could use to watch a video from you! Thanks for the info
I love that you carry your Mora Chisel as part of your regular kit. Walking the walk.
Howdy Mr.Wranglerstar I'm from Minnesota
thank you beloved
Great team work. Appreciate how you show and explain things. What about an inside kick plate (?) that keeps mice etc from getting under the door? And if you are not REAL tall like Cody a ladder and a helper is a must have.
Good job Cody!!!
Great video! Thanks.
I for one would love if you could make one of these but with windows as the subject matter.
Great video!
Great how to video. Thank you
Thanks this is just the video I needed I'm replacing my front door in the next week, also finally someone that calls a wonder bar by its proper name
Cody one thing you may want to consider, the local crooks here have been using a small bottle jack with an extension and they are going up to homes and using the bottle jack to jack open the door at the knob deadbolt location and with a small hydraulic jack and those typical finger joint door frames the crooks are prying open the mandoors by jacking the frame open and just pushing the doors in, free entry no damage. To try and stop this you can get the shims as close to the deadbolt as possible and as stiff as you can make it at the deadbolt location. I knew of this when I was building my place so in the adjacent studwalls I also added a cross brace at the deadbolt location and it stiffened the door frame substantially, door install looks good it would look better with a screen door and keep the weather away from the inner door seals, provide more light inside when open and allow the option for screened air flow. Ha, ha personally I like the looks of the other wood door, good job.
Rock, window, your in,
Good job Cody!
Cody perfect and thank you!!!
Awesome job!
You seemed a little off today, almost like the heat was getting to you. I hope all is well. Great video as always.
good work! thanks Cody
I have always screwed 2 boards across the drywall side in the past, then set the door in the hole pressing it firmly into those 2 boards, shim it with the door closed and screwed the frame into the house, then i would put the interior side trim on and spray foam into the gap, then let it cure before cutting back and installing the exterior trim...
Great video!
Thanks for the tips! How different will this be for hanging a wrought iron door? Also the frame and door are separate (not pre hung). The only difference I can tell so far is that it came with bolts (obviously because wrought iron is heavy).
would you prefer a 3/4" spacer or a 1/2" spacer between your door jamb and your framing?
i loved the Minnesota- part of the video :)
door looks waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay nicer!
Mrs. W is pregnant !!👍🏻
Congratulations
Good informative video!
Thank you for doing this video..... I have a couple of doors at my house that I need to fix or replace...
As I'm looking through the comments I notice nothing but negative comments for the most part. Everyone installs door differently, and if it's not the same way as someone else apparently it's wrong? Good work. A trick I've learned or what we do at work is instead of nailing the frame we peel back part of the weather strip and screw it in that way. New subscriber, love the content.
Great work!
Door looks awesome! Honestly, only complaint was the maligning of MSG haha. It's actually a naturally occuring compound rendered from dried seaweed. Delicious dried seaweed powder
Good timing. i need to replace a door jam. Thanks
Hey Cody, Can you throw some info on that door in the description notes? Thank You.
Seconded!
Check out the cordless nailer from Ridgid, pretty sweet
Nice DIY video 🙂
Beautiful. Thanks
Fixing someone else's work is always FUN!
Sometimes helps to put a knob on first to keep the door together, and aligned in the frame. Makes a convenient handle for maneuvering too.
Thats a good idea I've been installing doors for a lifetime and never thought of this. It would also make sure the latch is lined up as a pervious commenter pointed out.
Everyone who comments seems to be a professional. Where are all these people when i need someone to hang a new door? Seems like it’s getting hard to find people who know what they are doing. And if someone knows what they are doing, it will cost me the price of a new home to do the repairs😁
I find it rather funny you and I both got new fiberglass front doors on or about the same day. Ode to Home Dep.. Great tutorial..
Great video. Can you please also do a video on how to hang a screen door? I need one but I'm not sure how to get the measurements for the door size.
I almost thought this was an older video I missed because it wasn't in all caps with exclamation points and didn't say something like "YOU WON'T BELIEVE HOW EASY IT IS TO INSTALL THIS DOOR!!!!!" with a Yanmar tractor parked in front of a door for the thumbnail. This is good.
Cody could have used the yanmar tractor to move that heavy door...
I don't know if it would have been faster since I don't think his truck would have been far away. But sometimes it's your back that dictates what is better.
that is a nice door very good job.
Thank you for the lesson
Bob vila and norm Abrams would be proud of ur handy work
Hey wranglerstar if you find the time I'd love to hear your thoughts on the CRKT Birler 16" Tactical Pack Axe
