As Buddy Rich is to drums, you sir, are to doors!
Thank you
I don't even bother with shity crappy pre-hung doors. Make your own god damn door jams, is this a Carpentry chsnnel?
IMPORTANT... This guy never mentioned if the jack stud is out of line (twisted) his method doesn't work properly.
What brand of milk crate do you recommend??
Wow! You can always spot a true Master. This is hands down the best video on how to systematically install a pre-hung door. Don't even waste your time looking at the others. I love his systematic method and how he explains the reasoning for each fastener and the importance of the order of installation. Just finished installing mine and it went in perfect. As a mechanical engineer, i can appreciate this guys logical approach. I'm definitely subscribed.
Thanks for the great video. It works! Next questions: What do you door if it's the type of pre-hung door that has a split jamb with the casing already attached, and what do you do if it's a double door with both panels hinged?
Great video. Definitely will help this DIYer!
13:13 this is the problem I'm having. The fix looks simple here, but my door has already been installed. Wish me luck.
This guy is smart as hell. Much respect
